    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.

  • Untapped Opportunities in India's Rooftop Solar Market
    1 Jyoti Gulia, Founder JMK Research Vibhuti Garg, IEEFA Energy Economist July 2020 Powering Up Sunshine – Untapped Opportunities in India’s Rooftop Solar Market How the Commercial and Industrial Sector Can Cut Costs and Reduce Emissions Executive Summary The Government of India has set a target of 40 gigawatts (GW) of rooftop solar capacity to be installed by 2022. As of December 31, 2019, total rooftop solar capacity stood at 5.4GW1, well below the installation rate required. Nonetheless, the basic framework including net metering policies for rooftop solar arrays now exists across all states and the implementation of rooftop solar power installations has started in a true sense. Given such momentum, this sector should be a key economic growth priority post the COVID-19 pandemic. To promote the deployment of solar rooftop capacity, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) implemented in 2015 the “Grid Connected Rooftop and Small Solar Power Plants Programme (Phase I)” under which a subsidy of up to 30% of the Given its momentum, benchmark cost was provided for general rooftop solar power category states, and up to 70% of the benchmark cost for special category states should be a key growth (the North Eastern States including Sikkim, priority post COVID-19. Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands) for installation across the residential, institutional and social sectors. For government installations, achievement-linked incentives of up to 25% of the benchmark cost in general category states / union territories (UTs) and up to 60% of the benchmark cost for special category states / UTs were also provided.

The government has announced an unprecedented policy push and states are providing the necessary infrastructure. Annual investments in solar could surpass investment in coal by 2019-20, with USD 35bn committed by global players. For local IPPs, solar has to be an inherent part of their expansion strategy, as RE obligations become strictly enforceable and cost of coal power increases.

    SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE 13th Edition: S LAR P WERIn India A VIRTUAL CONFERENCE Sector Outlook and the Way Forward July 2-33, 2020 Organiser: Sponsor: Suppported by: Solar Power in India Mission z The global economy has been severely hit by Covid-19. Global GDP projections for 2020 have plunged from 3 per cent to 1.8 per cent. Like all other sectors, the solar industry too has been adversely impacted, at least in the short term. It has witnessed an overall slump in energy demand, stoppage of construction work, supply chain disruption, invoking of force majeure, etc. It has meant both a loss of jobs for some and severe health hazards for others. z The government has been taking several measures to address the challenges brought upon by the crisis. Project deadlines have been extended. Must- run status for renewable energy plants has been reinforced. Domestic manufacturing is being promoted to secure the future supply chain. More tenders continue to be issued by various nodal agencies. New project types (for instance, 24x7 power supply from renewables) have surfaced, increasing discoms’ confidence in solar vis-à-vis conventional power. z In sum, the sector today looks much more promising than before. Energy sector experts have increasingly started believing that the coronavirus pandemic may accelerate the shift in investments from fossil fuel to renewable energy, a theory now supported by global organisations including the International Energy Agency and think tanks like the World Resources Institute. z There are several lessons that the solar power sector can learn once the crisis has passed and the industry has had a chance to analyse its response.
