The table gives an overall view of the potential of biomass power, installed capacities, government incentives, and major barriers for biomass based power production in India.
Total available potential |
19500 MW |
Exploited potential (production/installed capacity) |
|
Specific government incentives |
|
Amount of investments happening in this now, expected in future |
In the current Five Year Plan period (2007 to 2012), the government’s target for biomass power capacity is 1200 MW and 500 MW for cogeneration plants |
Key bottlenecks and barriers |
|
Cost of power generation - and trends in the same over years |
Cost of electricity production – Rs 2.25-3.25 / kWh. This includes all costs, including capital depreciation, O&M, insurance and interest costs. This cost could increase over the years as the cost of biomass increases. |
