Grid-interactive renewable power projects based on wind power, biomassOrganic waste from agricultural, livestock, and lumber industry products, dead trees, foliage, etc., and is considered a renewable energy source. Biomass can be used as fuel and is most often burned to create steam that powers steam turbine generators. It is also used to make transportation fuels like ethanol and biodiesel, and chemicals like pyrolysis oil that can be burned... More, small hydro and solar are mainly private investment driven, with favourable tariff policy regimes established by State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERC), and almost all-renewable power capacity addition during the year has come through this route.
- Wind Power:
It aims at generation of competitively priced grid-interactive wind power. The programme also covers research and development and survey and assessment of wind resources.
- Bio-power:
Four sets of programmes are being implemented with the aim to generate competitively priced bio power and/or heat from agricultural, agro-industrial residues and plantations and urban & industrial wastes. These are

- Small Hydro Power
Aims to generate competitively priced Small hydro power (upto 25 MW station capacity).
- Solar Power
Aims to generate competitively priced Solar Thermal and Solar PhotovoltaicPhotovoltaics (PV) is a term which covers the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. A typical photovoltaic system employs solar panels, each comprising a number of solar cells, which generate electrical power. PV installations may be ground-mounted, rooftop mounted or wall mounted. The mount may... More Power.
