Meghalaya Non Conventional Energy and rural energy development agency.( (ttp://mnreda.gov.in/schemei.htm) Implementation of the Scheme on Accelerated development and deployment of solar water heating systems in domestic, industrial and commercial sectors. 1.0 Objective The main objectives of the scheme is to promote the widespread use of solar water heaters through a combination of financial and promotions incentives, and other support measures, with a goal of adding another one million sq.m. Solar collector area through solar water heating systems in the next two years. 2.0 Physical targets A target of installation of 300.000 sq.m. of collector area under the scheme has been kept for 2005 06, as per the following indicative breakup: Domestic Sector : 200,000 sq.m Institutional Sector : 50,000 sq.m. Industrial / Commercial Sector : 50,000 sq.m. The targets will be achieved by providing interest subsidy to the users of solar water heaters, incentive to motivators, support for organizing seminars/symposia / workshop / business meets / exhibitions, training programmes, publicity and awareness campaign, technology up gradation and studies /. Surveys, etc. Support will be also be provided to Municipalities / Municipal Corporations that adopt and notify the modifications to their building bye-laws for making the installation of solar assisted water heating systems mandatory in certain categories of buildings. 1.0 Implementation Arrangement The scheme will be implemented through IREDA( Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency) and other Financial Institutions (FLs), Public Sector Banks and Cooperative Banks. The released of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE ) funds to Fls / banks will be managed by IREDA. Other promotional activities will be implemented by IREDA / State Nodal Agencies / Municipal Corporations / Technical Institutions / reputed NGOs, etc. The detailed guidelines for implementation of the scheme and financial provisions for various activities are given in the Annexure. 1. Interest Subsidy Scheme 4

The borrowers will be eligible for loan up to 85% of the cost of the systems, repayable over a period of five years. Water heating systems comprising of flat plate collectors (FPC) or Evacuated Tube Collectors (ETCs) would be eligible systems configurations for the loans. The manufacturers / suppliers of systems with FPCs should have approval from BIS and those of ETC from MNRE test centers. 1.2 Implementation The scheme will be implemented through IREDA and other financial institutions / banks with release of funds to be managed by IREDA on behalf of MNRE IREDA in consultation with MNRE will develop a suitable mechanism for implementing the scheme with banks and other Fls. As regards banks already implementing the scheme, the existing MOUs signed with MNRE will continue over the designated period with required modifications as per this scheme. The funds released in advance to IREDA by MNRE based on a concrete plan received from them will be placed in a separate account in form of fixed deposits and the interest accrued at applicable rate will be credited in this account. A running account will also be maintained by IREDA to which the interest subsidy will be debited on the loan availed by the beneficiaries. The interest subsidy (difference between the lending rate of bank / Fl and MNRE prescribed interest rate) calculated on up front basis for the entire loan period at a rate by MNRE & IREDA, will be released by IREDA to the Fls/ intermediaries / direct users on reimbursement basis after installation of the systems and submission of the necessary documents. To the public sector banks, advance release of subsidy may be considered subject to submission of a concrete plan of achieving the indicated target fixed by them. In such cases, these banks will also follow the procedure prescribed for IREDA for the purpose of maintaining the accounts. The Fls / intermediaries of IREDA will maintain a complete list of beneficiaries with relevant details as regards installation of the systems, which will also be provided to IREDA. They will take necessary undertakings from beneficiaries and ensure that no MNRE support, in any form, had earlier been availed / will be availed in future on the installed systems from any financial institution/ bank. The accounts will be settled by IREDA with MNRE based on the requisite documents. IREDA and the banks / Fls will be provided service charges for implementing the scheme. 5

Intermediaries will be eligible to get loans at 2% lower interest rate than the prescribed rates for various categories of users.. 2.3 Technology Up gradation and Exposure Visits Aboard In order to promote technology up gradation in industry, soft loans will be made available to manufacturers at a reduced interest rate of 5% through IREDA. The interest subsidy up to a maximum of 6% calculated on up front basis will be borne by MNRE. The loans will be provided only for projects involving advanced and new technologies, which would lead to lower costs of production, improved performance and reliability of the products, etc. In addition, visits aboard by industry delegations, including participation in efficient manufacturing techniques, will be supported through partial financial assistance on case-by-case basis. 2.4 Studies, Surveys, etc. To promote the spread of proven technologies and induction of new technologies, financial assistance will be provided for technology assessment, potential assessment, performance surveys, cost benefit analysis, environmental impact assessment, consultancy development, market and export development, date base development and management, monitoring and evaluation, etc. The support will be limited to Rs. 5 lakhs per project to be provided on case-by-case basis. The proposals could be submitted by SNAs / Technical Institutions / reputed NGOs / Manufacturers Associations, etc. 3.
