Objectives & Targets
- Mission adopts 3-phase approach
- Phase I (up to 2012/2013) – remaining period of 11th five yr plan & 1st yr of 12th yr plan
- Phase II (2013-2017) – remaining 4 yrs of 12th five yr plan
- Phase III (2017-2022) – 13th five yr pla
- Mission Targets
- Create an enabling policy framework for the deployment of 20,000 MW of solar power by 2022
- Ramp up capacity of grid-connected solar power generation 2013 – 1000 M
- Target upto 2017
- Additional 3000 MW (mandatory use of renewable purchase obligation by utilities backed with preferential tariff)
- Capacity could increase to 10,000 MW installed power by 2017 or more, based on enhanced & enabled international finance & technology transfer
- 2022 – 20,000 MW or more – will be dependent on “learning” of first two phases
- Create favorable conditions for solar manufacturing capability (solar thermal for indigenous production & market leadership)
- Promote programmes for off grid applications (1000 MW – 2017 & 2000 MW – 2022)
- Achieve 15 million sq. meters – 2017 & 20 million sq. meters -- 2022 of solar thermal collector area.
- 2022 - deploy 20 million solar lighting systems for rural areas
