4. Eligibility Criteria a) Wind power project – The project that uses new wind turbine generators and is located at sites, on-shore or off-shore, approved by the State Nodal Agency or Appropriate Government.

b) Small hydro project – The project that uses new plant and machinery and is located at sites approved by the State Nodal Agency or Appropriate Government. c) Biomass power project with Rankine cycle technology – The project that uses new plant and machinery, is based on Rankine cycle technology and does not use any fossil fuel.

d) Non-fossil fuel based co-generation project – The project that uses new plant and machinery and is based on the topping cycle mode of co-generation.

Topping cycle mode of co-generation – Any facility that uses non-fossil fuel input for power generation and also utilizes the thermal energy generated for useful heat applications in other

industrial activities simultaneously:

Provided that for the co-generation facility to qualify under topping cycle mode, the sum of useful power output and one-half the useful thermal output be greater than 45% of the facility’s energy consumption during crushing season. Explanation- For the purposes of this clause,

(a) ‘Useful power output’ is the gross electrical output from the generator. There will be an auxiliary consumption in the cogeneration plant itself (e.g. the boiler feed pump and the FD/ID fans). In

order to compute the net power output, it would be necessary to subtract the auxiliary consumption from the gross output. For simplicity of calculation, the useful power output is defined as the gross electricity (kWh) output from the generator.

(b) ‘Useful Thermal Output’ is the useful heat (steam) that is provided to the process by the cogeneration facility.

(c) ‘Energy Consumption’ of the facility is the useful energy input that is supplied by the fuel (normally bagasse or other such biomass).

(d) 'Topping Cycle' means a co-generation process in which thermal energy produces electricity, followed by useful heat application. e) Solar PV power project, floating solar project and solar thermal power project – The project is based on technologies approved by MNRE.

Provided that floating solar projects installed with existing renewable energy projects other than ground mounted Solar PV projects shall be treated as renewable hybrid energy projects. f) Renewable hybrid energy project – The rated capacity of generation from one renewable energy source is at least 33% of the total installed capacity of the renewable hybrid energy project, which operates at the same

point of interconnection: Provided that energy is injected into the grid at the same interconnection point and metering is done at such a common interconnection point accordingly. g) Biomass gasifier based power project – The project uses a new plant and machinery and has a grid connected system that uses a 100% producer gas engine, coupled with gasifier technologies approved by MNRE.

h) Biogas based power project – The project uses new plant and machinery and has a grid connected system that uses a100% biogas fired engine, coupled with biogas technology for co-digesting agriculture residues, manure and other bio-waste as approved by MNRE.

i) Municipal solid waste based power projects – The project uses new plant and machinery based on Rankine cycle technology and uses municipal solid waste as fuel. j) Refuse derived fuel based municipal solid waste power projects – The project uses new plant and machinery based on Rankine cycle technology and uses refuse derived fuel as fuel.

k) Renewable energy with storage project – The renewable energy project including a renewable hybrid energy project that uses, partly or fully, renewable energy generated from such project to store energy in a storage facility, which is connected at the same point of interconnection as the renewable energy project.
