Shri R K Singh - the Revolutionary

Our Minister of State ( Independent Charge ) for Power and Renewable Energy, Shri R K Singh is a revolutionary

Here is the proof

Today’s Business Line carries following news :

“ Govt to revise roof-top solar power policy “ 

The Centre will rework and expand the ambit of roof-top solar power generation policy, according to Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Power and Renewable Energy, RK Singh.

Speaking to reporters on the side lines of an international R&D conclave, organised by the Central Electricity Authority, Singh said, “We are coming up with a new scheme which will improve the present roof-top solar systems. We already have schemes for solar pumps and roof-top solar but we are enlarging those schemes and improving the mechanisms so that they can be delivered faster.”

Singh said that the government is also gearing up for taking strides in energy storage. He said, “According to the trajectory we had announced, we are bidding out projects in solar, wind and in hybrid generation. Now we are going to attach a storage component to those bids too. For example, if the entire project is of 1000 MW, the storage capacity with it will be of around 100 MW.”

That is : ONE battery storage ( 100 MW ) for 1 GW ( 1,000 MW ) of solar generation

For our target of 100 GW by 2022 , we need 100 Battery Storage ( of 100 MW each )

But with about 50 months left to reach that target, we need to install 2 Battery Storages EVERY MONTH for the next 50 months !

  

ONE installation , every 15 days !

That is finding a cool $ 100 million per month ( TESLA’s 100 MW Battery Storage , installed and commissioned in South Australia within 100 days , cost $ 50 million each )

All told , for those 100 Battery Storages, we will need $ 5,000 Million ( $ 5 Billion )

Exactly what I wrote in my following blog , only yesterday !

NationalEnergy Storage Mission  [  19  Feb  2018  ]

https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2018/02/national-energy-storage-mission.html

In that blog , I also suggested how to raise the required funds

But the “ Roof Top Solar Power Generation Revolution “ will remain only a dream , unless that reworked policy ( under formulation ) covers within its “ ambit “ , my following suggestions as well

SolarPower at Rs 1 per Kwh ?  [  29  Jan  2017  ]

https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/01/solar-power-at-rs-1-per-kwh.html

 

I urge Shri Singh to consider my following suggestion as well :

·         Individual building owners or Societies will install the plants on their roofs ( model / size / supplier etc to be decided by each consumer )

·         Plants will need to be installed only by Channel Partners ( supplying agencies ) which are empanelled by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy , who have submitted installation data ( Project Completion Report for grid connected rooftop projects ) on the SPIN portal

·         Submit “ Bill / Certificate of Grid Connectivity “ to govt  for “Green Solar Loan “

·         Loan will be repayable at 5 % interest rate , over a 15 year period

·         SOCIETY WILL BE ABLE TO PAY THE  EMI  FROM THE SAVINGS IT WILL MAKE  BY NOT HAVING TO BUY THE GRID POWER FROM STATE DISCOM

·         Societies will even be allowed to repay the EMI in the form of the solar power it generates and FEEDS into the State Grid , under the “ Reverse Metering “ Scheme
