ORDER:-
Government of Andhra Pradesh is giving prioriry for promotion of
Renewable Energr Power projects and has been rolling out multiple
initiatives, programs, policies and incentives to accelerate the development
of the renewable energr sector. The State is having good RE power potential
particularly in Rayalaseema rcgion huge extents of lands have been
',l,here
identified for promotion of RE power projects by inviting private investments.
2.
Further, the GoVernment of India has committed at the 26th session
of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in Glasgow, United Kingdom
to reach 500 GW Non-fossil ener$T capacity by 2030 and achieve the target
of net zero emissions by 2O7O.
(P.r.o.)2
3. ln the G.O lst to 4th read above Government have issued orders
providing incentives for large scale promotion of Wind Power, Solar Power
and Wind-Solar hybrid Power Projects in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
4. In order to balance the variations in RE generation, reliable Energr
Storage solutions are required. Though various ener$/ storage technologies
are available, Pumped Hydro Storage Power Projects (PSP) offer highest
promise due to their flexible operation to balance the Variable Renewable
generation in short span of time. Andhra Pradesh is in forefront in the
country in identifying potential sites lor promotion of Pumped Storage Hydro
Power Projects. Techno-Commercial Feasibility Reports (TCFR) were
prepared with an aggregate potential of 33,240 MW. Detailed Project Reports
are under preparation lor most viable locations in phased manner.
Considering the huge capital investments required to establish PSP Projects,
the Government is intending to encourage private investments in already
identical PSP projects.
5. M/s. ISPL is setting up fully integrated Solar PV manufacturing
industry from Poly-silica to Ingot-wafer to Cell to Module which is being set
up in the State. M/ s ISPL won the Production Linked Incentive Scheme
announced by Govt. of India to promote domestic manufacturing and reduce
imports of Solar Panels which also aligns with the Aatma Nirbhar Bharat
Initiative of Govt. of India.
6. In the reference Sth read above, M/s Indosol Solar Pvt. Ltd. (ISPL),
Hyderabad, have submitted the proposal to the Government to allocate the
Captive Power Plants to meet their Power Requirements for the Green Field
Vertically Integrated Solar Photovoltaic Manufacturing Unit for allocation of
1.50 GW Wind Power, 3.5 GW Solar Power and 2.2 GW Pumped storage
power Projects:-
Captive Plants Capacity Location

District,Kambadur, Ananthapur
District: 700 MW
Pumped Storage 2CW Paidipalcm North & East

(Contd..P.3)::3::
7 . The estimated capitai expenditure for proposed solar PV module
manufacturing unit is indicated as Rs. 20,836 Crores in the 1st phase with
a potential to create employment for more than 5,000 people in AP State.
The project is expected to create huge employment opportunities to about
1 1 ,500 people directly and 10,000 - t I ,000 people indirectly in a phased
manner (3 phases) over a period of 5 years. The manufacturing facility being
set up by M/s. ISPL is highly energr intensive and requested the
Government for allocation ol PSP, Solar and Wind Power Projects to meet the
captive power requirements thereby reducing the cost of power for their
manufacturing facilify will bring down the cost of manufacturing of solar cell
and they can compete with International Market. In the case of Captive
Power Plants an amount of Rs.25,000 crores of revenue to the Government
and 1 1,000 persons will get direct and indirect employments u.ith the
proposed project.
