No. F.20(62)Energy/2024 :-

Rajasthan Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024

In order to promote Renewable Energy, Energy Storage Systems, Green

Hydrogen andto ensure their integration with the grid, the State Government

hereby notifies the Rajasthan Integrated Clean Energy Policy, 2024 as under:

1. Preamble

1.1. Growing concerns of global warming and climate change require

emphasis on clean energy. The Renewable Energy Sources are the

bedrock that layingthe foundation for planners in developing the

policy framework to ensure energy security and equity andare

imperative for achieving the goals of reducing carbon emission and

mitigating pollution.

1.2. Utility scale Power Producers, small Power Generators, State Utilities

such as Generation, Transmission and Distribution Companies,

Regulatory and Power Management Agencies, Government and

Consumers are major stakeholders in the Renewable Energy (RE)

sector. This policy is designed to facilitate the promotion of the

Renewable and Clean Energy Sector while safeguarding the interests

of the end consumer.

1.3. Over the past decades, the demand for power has grown and the State

has added conventional power capacity on a large scale. The State has

achieved self-reliance in the availability of power. Furthermore,

Renewable Energy has become commercially viable, therefore, State

Utilities and other stakeholders have an increased interest and a

greater focus on renewable energy.

7495 राजस् थान र राज-पत्र, जुलाई 16, 2025 भाग 1(ख)

1.4. Renewable Energy,such as Solar Energy, can be deployed in a

decentralised manner,bringing benefits of reduced transmission &

distribution losses and savings in cost of establishing additional

transmission infrastructure on account of generation of power at load

centres. Decentralized generation through solar rooftop systems, off-

grid applications, and small solar power plants at consumers' end are

an efficient way of utilization of Solar Energy.

1.5. The State has a huge and largely untapped potential in terms of intense

solar radiation, one of the highest numbers of sunny days in a year

and

availability

vast

barren/un-cultivable,

unutilized

government/private land. These attributes have the potential to make

Rajasthan a highly preferred destination for Solar Energy at the Global

level.

1.6. Additionally, National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), Government of

India, has assessed wind power potential at Rajasthanis 284GW at

150 meters height and National Institute of Solar Energy assessed the

Solar Potential in Rajasthan is 142 GW.

1.7. To meet the global commitments, Government of India has fixed a

national target of 500 GW Renewable Energy capacity. This will reduce

the dependence on conventional sources of energy by promoting a

non-conventional alternative.

1.8. Notably, Solar and Wind resources are complementary to each other

and hybridization of these two technologies would help in minimizing

the variability in power and would lead to optimum utilization of

infrastructure

including

land

and

transmission

systems.

Superimposition of the wind and solar resources map exhibits high to

moderate Wind and Solar Energy potential in the State.

1.9. In light of these, it is desirable to have suitable policy interventions for

developing new hybrid projects and also for encouraging hybridization

of existing Wind and Solar Power Plants in the State.

1.10 Appropriate capacity storage systems are also required in sync with

generation profile of Wind-Solar Hybrid Power Projects.

1.11 The State will also promote the Energy Storage Program. The Energy

Storage System (ESS) enhances grid stability, reliability and facilitates

better load management, reducing the dependency on fossil fuel-based

peaking power plants. Energy Storage Technologies, such as batteries

and pumped hydro storage are essential for addressing the

intermittency of Renewable Energy sources.

1.12 Utilization of Biomass waste as a fuel for energy generation is yet

another sustainable source of energy. This reduces the environmental

impact caused by open crop residue/ biomass burning.

projects, as well as Waste-to-Energy based Power Projects for the

utilization of waste such as MSW/RDF/Industrial/Medical waste or

any other wastes as per the guidelines of the State Government and

Government of India.

1.14 Further, Green Hydrogen is a non-fossil fuel which can fulfil the

requirements of Industrial, Power, Transportation and Aviation sectors

while reducing carbon emissions and is useful to produce Green

Ammonia.

11 Promotion of setting up of Renewable Energy based Electric Vehicle

Charging Station:

The shift to clean transport has become necessary due to increase in

carbon emission from fossil fuel, which leads to global warming and

climate change. The rapid increase in fossil fuel consumption due to

rising vehicular movement has led to increase in pollution and has an

adverse impact on Balance of Payment situation because of the rising

import bill.

The above factors are main reasons for adoption of Electric Vehicles

(EV)and supporting technologies. The requirement of suitable grid-

grade electricity is seen as a major challenge for establishing sufficient

charging stations for the EVs. Charging of EVs from electricity

generated from fossil fuel based conventional sources does not reduce

emissions. For further reduction of carbon footprint, it is essential

that the EVs are charged using Renewable Energy Sources. In view of

the above, the State will promote the use of Renewable energy for

charging of EVs in the following manner:

i. The Charging Infrastructure will be developed as per the guidelines

and standards issued by Ministry of Power and Central Electricity

Authority.

1. Introduction

1.1 India is undertaking a significant energy transition with a goal to generate

50% of its electricity generation capacity from Non-Fossil Fuel sources by

2030 and to achieve net zero emissions by 2070. To meet these objectives

and ensure energy self-reliance, the country is prioritizing the optimization

of its domestically available renewable energy resources. A crucial

component of this strategy is the development and integration of advanced

7525 राजस् थान र राज-पत्र, जुलाई 16, 2025 भाग 1(ख)

Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Energy Storage Technologies, such as

Batteries and Pumped Hydro Storage which are essential for addressing

the intermittency of renewable energy sources like Solar and Wind. By

storing excess energy generated during periods of high production and

utilizing it during times of high demand, these systems enhance grid

stability and reliability. Additionally, Energy Storage facilitates better load

management and reduces dependency on fossil fuel-based peaking Power

Plants. As India accelerates its Renewable Energy deployment, robust

Energy Storage Solutions will play a pivotal role in ensuring a sustainable

and resilient energy infrastructure.

1.2 The National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2023 of the Central Electricity

Authority (CEA) projects a significant increase in energy storage capacity

requirements. By the year 2026-27, the requirement is projected to be

16.13 GW (82.37 GWh), with 7.45 GW (47.65 GWh) from Pumped Storage

Plants (PSP) and 8.68 GW (34.72 GWh) from Battery Energy Storage

Systems (BESS). This requirement is expected to further rise to 60.63 GW

(336.4 GWh) by the year 2029-30, comprising 18.98 GW (128.15 GWh)

from PSP and 41.65 GW (208.25 GWh) from BESS.

1.3 Moreover, CEA has projected that by the year 2047, the requirement of

Energy Storage is expected to increase to 320 GW (90 GW PSP & 230 GW

BESS) with Storage Capacity of 2380 GWh (540 GWh PSP & 1840 GWh

BESS) due to the addition of a large amount of Renewable Energy in light

of the Net Zero Emission target set for 2070.

1.4 To meet the evolving needs of the Energy Storage System, the Government

of India has periodically issued various directives. In 2021, the

Department of Heavy Industries introduced the Production Linked

Incentive (PLI) scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage.

In 2022, the Ministry of Power set out the Renewable Purchase Obligation

(RPO) and Energy Storage Obligation (ESO) Trajectory until 2029-30. In

2023, the Ministry of Power released guidelines for Pump Storage Projects

(PSP) and the National Framework for Promoting Energy Storage Systems,

along with operational guidelines for Viability Gap Funding for Battery

Energy Storage Systems. Additionally, the Ministry of Environment, Forest

and Climate Change issued the Battery Waste Management Rules in 2022.

1.5 The State of Rajasthan will promote the Energy Storage Programme by

simplifying regulatory processes and offering financial incentives. This

initiative aims to enhance energy reliability, support the integration of

renewable energy, and reduce dependency on conventional energy

sources. It is expected to attract investments, stimulate technological

advancements, and contribute to the state's sustainable energy goals, in

alignment with the guidelines of both the State Government and the

Government of India.

GovernmentLand, if any, shall be recommended by RREC on case to

case basis. For bidding projects, Govt. land, if any, shall be

recommended by RREC only after submission of LOA.

5.5. BESS projects through Hybrid Annuity Model:

The state will envisage the development of BESS projects on its own

Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). The guidelines for the same will be

notified separately by the energy department.

Energy Storage Projects integrated with Renewable Energy

projects

State requires reliable power during peak hours of the day which has to be

fulfilled by Distribution Companies through available non-fossil power

sources or from power exchange at market price. High demand of power

during peak hours increases market power whereas Solar Power

Evacuation Systems remain idle during non-solar hours.During non-solar

hours, this idle power evacuation system can be utilized for supply of firm

RE Power into grid by installing BESS with RE power. This initiative will

help to reduce the cost of power during peak hours and ensure grid

stability without expanding power evacuation system.

7535 राजस् थान र राज-पत्र, जुलाई 16, 2025 भाग 1(ख)

exemption from registration charges for the RE capacity and on

installation of BESS beyond X/2 MWhcapacity, registration charges shall

be exempted up to 100% on pro rata basis corresponding to the storage

capacity added.

6.4. In order to ensure adequate storage capacity to supply reliable power, new

RE projects on STU network (excluding Hydro Projects) with an installed

capacity of over 5 MW or as specified by the central Government will be

mandated to install ESS (of at least 2 Hour storage) for minimum 5% of

the RE capacity.

6.5. RE Generators would be allowed to set up BESS along with their existing

RE Plant to supply peak power/RTC power into the Grid for optimum

utilization of existing evacuation system. The RE Generators can enhance
