Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are likely to witness around 62 per cent of share from non-fossil fuel-based capacity in mixed electricity generation by 2034-35.

Official documents reveal that the share of non-fossil fuel-based capacity in the generation mix is projected to be around 62% by 2034-35 with higher contribution from non-fossil fuel-based capacities in alignment with Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) trajectory.

“As per the studies, the total projected contracted Capacity for the year 2034- 35 excluding Short Term Open Access (STOA) is 10,088 MW which consists of 3700 MW from Coal, 129 MW from Gas, 3364 MW from Hydro, 68 MW from Nuclear, 1840 MW from Solar and 987 MW from DRE. This IC along with additional 700 MW of STOA shall be able to meet the projected demand with prescribed reliability criteria,” official  documents reveal.

In the electricity generation mix, non-fossil fuel-based capacity refers to the share of power generation sources that do not rely on fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas. This includes sources like renewable energy, including hydro, solar, wind, biomass, nuclear power, and potentially other technologies like geothermal or advanced energy storage.

The official documents further reveal that the reliability studies have been carried out to adhere to the reliability criteria of Loss of Load Probability (LoLP) and Normalized Energy Not Served (NENS) as provided in NEP (0.2% and 0.05% respectively).

According to the documents, the Performance Rating Method (PRM) for the state of J&K and Ladakh has been assessed as 5.10%. They mention that the projected and contracted capacity fulfils the stipulated Renewable Purchase Obligation,” it reads. —(KNO)
