印度国家新能源和可再生能源部长Farooq Abdullah周日表示，印度政府太阳能项目第一阶段计划2013年太阳能发电量达到1000兆瓦。
这计划有助于印度跻身德国，西班牙和日本为代表的大阳能强国之列。
该项目资助方包括印度可再生能源开发署（IREDA），电力财务公司（PFC）和农村电气化公司（REC）等公共机构。
Abdullah和联合电力部长Sushil Kumar Shinde联合公布了新的太阳能发电项目选择准则。
根据太阳的使命全国火电公司（NTPC）电力交易部门 Vyapar Nigam公司（NVVN），已被任命为为销售和购买电力的中心机构。
据计划，50%的电力将通过太阳能光伏电池产生，另一半将通过太阳能热发电实现，NVVN有权选择根据厂家光热与光伏技术选择电厂。
根据太阳能计划，政府已经制定太阳能发电量达20,000兆瓦的目标，这将是印度成为太阳能发电的领导者的重要一步。
目前印度每年的太阳能发电量不到5MW。
如果2020年印度能达到20GW的太阳能发电目标，那将是印度全部电力安装量的八分之一。
India is all set to generate 1,000 Megawatts (MW) of solar power by 2013, in the first phase of the new solar power projects under Indian governments Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, the Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Farooq Abdullah said here on Sunday.
This programme will place India amongst the solar power harnessing nations, which features countries like Germany, Spain and Japan.
The project is being financed by public agencies including Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) along with Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC).
Abdullah and Sushil Kumar Shinde, Union Power Minister, jointly released the guidelines for the selection of new solar power projects.
The power trading arm of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN), has been appointed as the nodal agency for the sale and purchase of power under the solar mission.
Under this project, 50 percent of the power will be generated through solar photovoltaic cells and the other half will by solar thermal power and NVVN will have the authority to select the solar power plants based on both the technologies.
Under the solar mission, the government has set a target of generating 20,000 MW of electricity through solar energy.hinde added, that this would be a major step for India for becoming the leaders in solar power generation.
India currently produces less than 5 MW of solar power every year.
If India is able to achieve its target of 20 Gigawatts (GW) solar power by 2020 then, solar power would be equivalent to one-eighth of India's current installed power base. (ANI)
