Ministry of New and Renewable Energy
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is to install 17,500 solar photovoltaic water pumps across the country.
Each pump will use multi or mono crystalline modules, to power 1800W or 5000W peak power arrays for each solar pump. SunEdison launched a PV water pump for the Indian market at the end of 2013.
The states to receive the solar powered pumps include Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Utter Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar. States have to pay 15% of the project cost and submit a monthly progress report.
The pumps are being used to boost irrigation, with INR299 crore funding to improve irrigation from the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF), of which INR997 crore (US$163 million) will be used to install the solar water pumps across the eight states in India.
The ministry will provide 30% of the project cost as a subsidy.
The NCEF is part of the 2010-2011 environment budgets by the Government of India, funding is partly from a levy applied to coal (domestic and imported) of INR50 per tonne, to try and mitigate for alarming levels of pollution.
Responsibility for managing the project will lie with each state’s renewable energy development agency – there is an open tender for each agency to apply however all pumps have to meet an MNRE standard.
Training is also to be provided by MNRE selected manufacturers.
