Welcome


	elcome to the Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd. (KREDL) is an organization devoted entirely to the promotion of non-conventional energy sources in Karnataka. Our aim is to promote projects for harnessing energy from wind, small-hydro, biomass, solar energy and energy recovery from wastes through private investment. The company advises the Government of Karnataka on policies to be adopted for ensuring a systematic and balanced growth of projects for harnessing renewable energy sources.

Forms of renewable energy

Any source of energy that gets replenished naturally and does not suffer permanent depletion due to use can be called renewable sources of energy. Examples of renewable energy sources are the sun, wind, water flowing in rivers and streams, ocean tides, forests, vegetation etc.


Solar	Wind	Small Hydro	Biomass & Cogen
Solar thermal technologies use the heat in sunlight to produce hot water, heat for buildings, or electric power. Solar thermal applications range from simple residential hot water systems to multi-megawatt electricity generating stations.	From the ages wind has been used for several applications of mankind in the world. Wind energy does have the Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy, this forms of energy can either be harnessed through Mechanical application	Hydro-electric power stations capture the energy in flowing water to produce electricity. Small hydro-electric generating systems provide clean, cheap electricity for local applications.	The organic resources that are used to produce energy using these processes are collectively called "biomass". Biomass is a versatile energy source.

Venture in Karnataka

Electrical Energy has come to stay as one of the important inputs of development. The per capita consumption which was about 150 units in the sixties now stands at about 325 units. The demand for electrical energy is growing rapidly at 8 to 9% annually.

Application Submitted for Allotment


Solar	Wind	Small Hydro	Biomass & Cogen
The source of all energy whether from wood, coal, oil, natural gas or petrol can be traced to the sun. The sun is a huge thermonuclear reactor (capacity 110 trillion kW) and could provide all the energy we need.	It is estimated that 2% of the solar radiation incident on Earth is converted to kinetic energy of wind. The energy content of solar radiation impacting the surface of Earth is believed to be 1000 watts per square meter.	Collected valuable data on flow discharges of some of the major rivers and streams in the state. KPCL has established the availability of about 700 MW of small hydro potential in more than 166 locations in the state.	Biomass cogeneration has more potential growth than biomass generation alone because cogeneration produces both heat and electricity. Cogeneration results in net fuel use efficiencies of over 60 percent compared to about 37 percent for simple combustion.

Financial Incentives

Incentives from the Government of India.
Subsidy on lighting systems: MNES provides subsidy for lighting systems based on PV. For the year 2003-04 the following subsidy structure is available. Subsidy for SPV based lighting systems


Solar	Wind	Small Hydro	Biomass & Cogen
This is a stand-alone independent lighting system. The cost of this system is about Rs. 28,000/- for which a subsidy of Rs. 11,000/- per system is available if installed in a cluster of 5 solar streetlights.	Accelerated depreciation: Government of India has allowed 80% depreciation in respect of capital investment made in wind energy projects in the first year itself and offset it against their corporate tax liabilities.	Survey and investigation: MNES provides full financial assistance to meet the cost of conducting survey and investigation, subject to ceiling, for establishing the potential of small hydro schemes.	The state government has announced a scheme for providing a capital subsidy of Rs. 25 lakhs per MW of exportable surplus of energy fed to the grid.

Clean Development Mechanism

While global warming has been a subject of discussion and concern of the global community since 1987, it was at RIO, Convention in 1992 a special purpose vehicle was instituted to the study the impact of Global Warming and suggest measure to arrest further deterioration of the environment.

In the year 1997, at the Third Conference of Parties (COP 3), to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Kyoto Japan, a protocol was proclaimed, to reduce the carbon emissions by at least 5% less than the benchmark year 1990.

Energy Conservation

Energy the lifeline of mankind is a vital input for economical growth. The per capita energy consumption has been an important index to measure the health of the economical development. The energy consumption in India is about 3% of the global total. The demand for electricity in the country has been growing at an average growth rate of about 7% to 8%. Energy Conservation is emerging as a sector of global concern. The need for energy conservation in India assumes greater significance because of increasing gap between demand and supply of energy.

The importance of energy efficiency was realized by the world in the aftermath of the oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 lately, the concept has also found supp0ort amongst the environmentally enlightened, a move in the direction of sustainable development. More>>

Hybrid System

		The prime objective of electric energy generation is to satisfy customer needs economically with emphasis on safety, reliability and quality. Most of the conventional energy generation technologies employ exhaustible sources like coal, oil and nuclear fuel. Recent events have posed a set back to the sector of conventional power generation, due to higher fuel prices, societal pressures to conserve resources, environmental awareness, increase in production cost, and concern for safety related to certain technology (like the nuclear).

Village Electrification

In accordance with the approved definition of village electrification, remote villages will be deemed to be electrified if a minimum of 10% of the households are provided with lighting facility & electricity is also made available for community facilities & for dalit basis (habitations) of the village, if any.

However, systems for electrification through non-conventional energy sources should be designed, unless it is unfeasible to do so, for coverage of all the households & creation of capability for availability of electricity as laid down in the National Electricity Policy-2005, i.e. a minimum of 1KWh/household/day.
