Renewable Energy Resource

Indian Railways has targeted to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel by harnessing Renewable Energy sources. In order to achieve the target, set by Govt. of India (GoI) to achieve 500GW capacity by 2030, Indian Railways has also envisaged to source around 30 GW renewable power by 2030 across Zonal Railways (ZRs) and Production Units (PUs).

Several measures in the renewable energy sector such as :-

Guidelines for Tariff Based Competitive Bidding Process for procurement of power from grid connected solar PV and wind power projects
Solar-wind hybrid policy are intended to create investment opportunities in the sector
Waiver of transmission charges and losses for renewable projects, these, coupled with historic lows in solar and wind tariffs have completely transformed business dynamics in the sector.

Further, the Renewable Purchase Obligations trajectories set by Government of India is likely to enhance the opportunity for capacity growth in renewable energy space.

REMC Ltd is the Nodal agency for planning, tendering / bid processing and implementation of RE projects on behalf of IR. The variability caused due to integration of renewable energy into the grid has opened up many opportunities for possible energy solutions under the umbrella of ancillary services, such as battery energy storage, round the clock power using 100% renewable power efficient ramping up and down of thermal generating units etc.

Till date, the cumulative capacity of awarded solar roof-top, ground mounted solar project and wind projects by REMCL are approximately 250 MW, 52 MW & 93 MW respectively.
