1. Preamble
Theglobal average temperature has been rising continuously and is a big cause of concern for policy makers and global leaders across the world . At the 21st annual session of the Conference of the Parties (COP21), 196 Parties signed onto the international treaty on climate change in Paris, on the 12th of December 2015. The central aim of the Paris Agreement was to strengthen global response to the threat ofclimatechange by limiting global temperature rise to 1.5-2.0 degree Celsius above the pre- industrial levels for 21st century, while enhancing the ability of all signatory countries to deal with the Impacts of climate change. India , as one of the signatories (Parties) to COP21, is committed to plan for a low- carbon future growth and curb climate change.
1.1. India expects its energy demand to grow by up to three times by 2030 ( over the 2012 levels) . To meet this rise in energy requirement , with minimal climate change impact , the country has set a very aggressive national target to enhance the share of Renewable Energy (RE) technologies in its overall generation portfolio . India announced its intention to achieve a target of 500 GW of renewable energy installed capacity and 50% of renewable energy in total energy mix by 2030 at the COP26 summit held atGlasgow in November 2021. India also pledged to cut its carbon emissions to net zero by 2070.
1.2. Further, India is looking towards cross - sectoral convergence in terms of energy and fuel sources . Electric mobility is gaining momentum around the globe as well as in India . Several Indian States , including Madhya Pradesh , have crafted future looking Electric Vehicle Policies to promote cleaner and greener transportation . Adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs ) would help in mitigating climate change concerns , provided they ( EVs) are charged using clean energy sources . At the same time , the irrigation sector , which till now depended heavily on diesel based gensets , is now all set to go cleaner through solar pumps , feeder solarization and large - scale solar energization of the grid . Therefore , renewable energy is likely to be at centre stage in enabling the world to move towards a sustainable future.
1.3. TheGovernment of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) recognizes the current and potential impact of climate change on long - term energy security and emphasizes the need to tackle these challenges through an integrated policy and programme approach in order to minimize their impact( s) . The State of Madhya Pradesh is committed to encouraging the promotion of cleaner and greener power generation through renewable energy resources .
1.4. GoMP has focused on Public Private Partnership projects to mitigate investor risk and to set up bankable viable projects . This has led to substantially lower prices for renewable energy , facilitating its greater adoption in the energy mix of the state .
1.5. Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited ( RUMSL) , a Joint Venture of Madhya Pradesh Urja Vikas Nigam under GoMP and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI ) under Gol , has made groundbreaking innovations in structuring of projects . This has led to inter alia new business models that have been studied and 216(3)
मध्यप्रदेश राजपत्र, दिनांक 4 अप्रैल 2025
appreciated , both within and outside the country . Under these projects , RUMS has pioneered supplying power, apart from state utilitles, to public institutional consumers .
1.6 . Madhya Pradesh (" State ") is endowed with high renewable energy rich sites , potent to generate several gigawatts of renewable energy . As per MNRE , the State has solar energy potential of ~62GW , wind energy potential of ~ 11 GW, biomass energy potential of ~ 4 GW and small hydro potential of 820 MW . Thus, the State is favorably placed to drive the growth of renewable energy. Therefore , the GoMP , through this Policy , is planning to develop a holistic ecosystem to reap full renewable energy potential of the State .
2. Vision and Objective of the Policy
Renewable energy will play a critical part in the development of energy system of the future. Renewable energy will not only generate clean energy but will also be at the helm of new investment opportunities , manufacturing , employment generation , innovation and market development. The Government of Madhya Pradesh envisions following through this policy statement:
2.1. Facilitate large scale adoption and deployment of RE in the State by:
a) garnering investments in renewable energy generation sector in the State ;
b) reducing cost of power for state utilities by enabling cost- efficient procurement of renewable energy;
c) setting up RE projects that meet the requirement of state utilitles , as laid down under Resource Adequacy Plan prepared by Central Electricity Authority and RPO targets laid down by Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission ;
d) supplying RE power to other non - RE rich States and public institutional consumers ;
endeavoring to establish solar rooftops in all Government offices , preferably through the opex route;
;and
e) sharing best practices of the state within and outside the country to encourage well - structured viable projects in the RE sector .
2.2. Facilitate the design , development and operationalization of new and innovative technologies and procurement approaches in order to provide reliable and schedulable power at more cost competitive rates through:
a) promoting design and deployment of new technologies in RE , RE hybrid and Energy Storage space;
b) setting up Public Private Partnership projects that mitigate investor risk, alming at bankable viable projects;
216(4)
