This paper presents the results of a detailed analysis undertaken for 9 September 2014 estimating the potential of solar thermal power generation in India. A comprehensive framework is developed Accepted 20 October 2014 that takes into account (i) the availability of wastelands (ii) Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) (iii) wastelands that are habitat to endangered species and/or tribal population and/or that is prone to earthquakes and (iv) Keywords: suitability of wasteland for wind power generation. Finally, using an approach developed for the allocation of Solar thermal power generation wastelands suitable for solar power generation between thermal and photovoltaic routes, the potential of solar Concentrated Solar Power thermal power generation is assessed for two threshold values of DNI – 1800 kW h/m2 and 2000 kW h/m2. Potential Estimation for India With all the wastelands having wind speeds of 4 m/s or more allocated for wind power generation, the estimated potential for solar thermal power generation is 756 GW for a threshold DNI value of 1800 kW h/m2 and 229 GW for a threshold DNI value of 2000 kW h/m2.

    Cover Story SOLAR PARKS Accelerating the Growth of Solar Power in India Anindya S Parira, discusses about the objectives, targets, the progress made so far, the solar power park developers (SPPDs), and the challenges that lie ahead of the Solar Parks flagship scheme under the National Solar Mission of the Government of India. Solar Parks: Accelerating the Growth of Solar Power in India he recent downward trends in zone of development of solar various permissions, etc., which solar tariff may be attributed power generation projects and delays the project. To overcome to the factors like economies provides developers an area that these challenges, the scheme for Tof scale, assured availability is well characterized, with proper “Development of Solar Parks and of land, and power evacuation infrastructure and access to amenities Ultra-Mega Solar Power Projects” was systems under the Solar Park and where the risk of the projects rolled out in December 2014 with an Scheme. The scheme aims to provide can be minimized. Solar Park also objective to facilitate the solar project a huge impetus to solar energy facilitates developers by reducing the developers to set up projects in a generation by acting as a flagship number of required approvals.

    Azure Power Operational and Financial Update Ebene, Mauritius, September 8, 2019: Azure Power Global Limited (NYSE: AZRE) (the “Company”), a leading independent solar power producer in India, today announced certain operational and financial updates. This is not an offer to sell or purchase nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Operational Update Overview Our mission is to be the lowest-cost power producer in the world. We sell solar power in India on long-term fixed price contracts to our customers, at prices which in many cases are at or below prevailing alternatives for these customers. We are also developing micro-grid applications for the highly fragmented and underserved electricity market in India. Since 2011, we have achieved an 85% reduction in total solar project cost, including an 86% decrease in balance of systems costs, due in part to our value engineering, design and procurement efforts. Indian solar capacity installed reached approximately 29.4 GW at the end of June 2019 with a target to achieve 100 GW of installed solar capacity by 2022. Solar power is a cleaner, faster-to-build and cost-effective alternative energy solution to coal and diesel-based power, the economic and climate costs of which continue to increase every year. Through its use of solar power, we estimate that the Company has avoided the release of approximately 4.9 million tons CO2, which is equivalent to the byproduct of burning approximately 3.4 million tons of coal.

India, “as a growing economy India is densely populated and has high with a surging middle class, is now facing a severe solar insolation, an ideal combination for electricity deficit that often runs between 10 and 13 using solar power in India. India is already a leader percent of daily need with about 300 clear, sunny in wind power generation. In the solar energy sector, days in a year, India’s theoretical solar some large projects have been proposed, and a power reception, on only its land area, is about 5 2 35,000 km area of the Thar Desert has been set aside Petawatt-hours per year (PWh/yr) (i.e. 5 trillion kWh/ for solar power projects, sufficient to generate yr or about 600 TW). The daily average solar energy 700 GW to 2,100 GW. In July 2009, India unveiled incident over India varies from 4 to 7 kWh/m2 with a US$19 billion plan to produce 20 GW of solar about 1500–2000 sunshine hours per year power by 2020. Under the plan, the use of solar- (depending upon location), which is far more than powered equipment and applications would be current total energy consumption. For example, made compulsory in all government buildings, as assuming the efficiency of PV modules were as low well as hospitals and hotels.
