Introduction:
Electrical power plays an important role for overall economical development of the state and country. The rural population in the country is about 70% and consumes about 30% of the energy. This energy requirement is presently being catered from the hydel, thermal and nuclear power generating plants located at far places from the load centres. There is considerable strain on the network due to remotely located rural roads. The lengthy transmission and distribution network including evacuation lines have resulted in high-energy losses as well as unreliable and poor quality of poor supply.
The broad goal of the project is to develop, implement, demonstrate and disseminate a bio energy package to meet all the rural energy needs in a sustainable and participatory way to promote rural development. One of the major objectives of the project is to meet the requirement of electricity for lighting, drinking water supply, irrigation and small agro based industries (flourmill) by operating decentralized biomass energy production system. It is also proposed to install community borewells of appropriate size for irrigating half an acre of dry land for each household.
Project objective and Concept:
Biomass gasifier based electricity generation system is one of the feasible options to meet the rural energy needs utilizing the locally available biomass. A pilot project with 500 KW capacity biomass gasified based electricity generation system to cater the energy requirement of a cluster of 5 villages (i.e. Kabbigere, Chikkarasanahallii, Chikkannanahalli, Ajjenahalli and Obenahalli) near Kabbigere village in Koratagere taluk is under construction and is expected to be commissioned shortly.
In the second phase of the project implementation, PMU – BERI has proposed to set up similar gasifier plants of 2 x 100 KW capacity each in K.T.Halli and Boregunte villages to cater to the energy requirement of a cluster of 5 villages in Madhugiri taluka (i.e. K.T.Halli, Hanumantharayanapalya, Seebaiahnapalya, Boragunte and Veerannanahalli).
Funds release stages:
- BERI would release 30% of the assignment fee after submission of detailed project report.
- 60% of the assignment fee will be paid on the basis of monthly progress.
- 10% of the assignment fee will be paid after commissioning and testing of plant and distribution system.
Duration and output:
Technical consultant involvement in the project would be for a period of 12 months from the date of acceptance of work order issued by PMU-BERI for providing technical support during implementation of Bioenergy system in the first cluster.
