CESC Ltd (CESC.BO),INR591.00 Hold We raise our solar power forecast by 240% 2015A 2016E 2017E Global majors have committed USD 35bn+ to the Indian solar sector. By 2020, P/E (x) 43.4 22.6 10.6 annual solar power capacity additions and investments could surpass those in Price/book (x) 1.33 1.23 1.10 coal power projects. We are raising our solar power forecasts by 240% to 34GW by 2020. This is on the back of strong commissioning (4.5GW), even Adani Power (ADAN.BO),INR30.00 Hold stronger pipeline - under construction (~5.1GW), and new projects (~15GW). 2015A 2016E 2017E By then, renewables could account for a significant 20% of power capacities in P/E (x) – – 29.41 Price/book (x) 2.4 1.5 1.5 India, per our forecast. Private sector interest is decisively moving towards solar from coal power, and we foresee numerous opportunities of fund-raising, Reliance Power (RPOL.BO),INR46.35 Hold yieldco structuring and M&A activity. 2015A 2016E 2017E RE can reach 20% of capacity but we see challenges to higher penetration P/E (x) 20.62 8.21 6.60 Price/book (x) 0.8 0.6 0.5 (1) Transmission constraints and integration of diurnal power into the grid are risks, without peak-load management capability. Solar absorption in Rajasthan Tata Power (TTPW.BO),INR76.05 Buy could see challenges like wind in Tamil Nadu, given policy target of 25GW 2015A 2016E 2017E solar vs. peak-demand of 11GW. (2) A further risk is the enforcement of RE P/E (x) 46.83 19.50 18.87 purchase obligations (RPOs) given weak finances of state distribution cos, and Price/book (x) 1.5 1.4 1.3 hence large-scale absorption of solar could be a concern (INR 170bn additional burden by 2020E). (3) Other issues include financing, land acquisition, limited Power Grid Corporation Hold domestic manufacturing, and returns/reliability of baseline data. (PGRD.BO),INR141.00 2015A 2016E 2017E Impact on the thermal power producers P/E (x) 14.10 13.13 11.16 Solar could have a significant impact on day power rates, given that generation Price/book (x) 2.0 1.7 1.5 peaks between 9am and 6pm. In turn, this could reduce the coal requirement by ~8% or 70mnt by 2020E, largely impacting the highest cost of power, i.e., NHPC (NHPC.BO),INR19.10 Hold imported coal – leading to large savings (~USD 17bn/pa). 2014A 2015E 2016E P/E (x) 9.98 9.02 7.94 Companies to play the theme (see pp 26-34 for global and unlisted players) Price/book (x) 0.7 0.7 0.7 Indian IPPs have started adopting a solar growth strategy, given competitive Source: Deutsche Bank pricing which may restrict conventional power growth. Additionally, cost competitiveness is at risk, as the possibility of further cess cannot be ruled out to fund RE subsidies. Utilities- NTPC, Reliance and Adani - are early adopters and making large-scale commitments – resulting in ~5% incremental growth and 10-15% impact on target price. PV manufacturers and EPC service providers will also see benefits, although the majority of PV cells are likely to be imported given the small scale of domestic PV industry. Our valuation framework is based on DCF and P/B; risks We value the regulated models on P/B (on Gordon Growth) and IPPs on the NPV of projects. Key risks are lower-than-expected domestic coal supplies, execution delays and lower/higher-than-expected merchant tariffs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Deutsche Bank does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports.

    Working paper/PM 2013:02 Innovation in Indian energy policy-Case studies on solar energi and energy efficiency technology deployment Denna rapport analyserar två konkreta exempel på hur Indien arbetar med energiteknik: National Solar Mission som syftar till att öka produktionskapaciteten av solenergi i Indien med 20 000 MW till år 2022 samt programmet Perform Ac- hieve and Trade inom ramen för strategin National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency. I dessa exempel görs observationer som är relevanta att beakta i arbe- tet med att utveckla Sveriges politik för miljöteknik, förnybar energi och minskad klimatpåverkan.

I Europa, och i Sverige, är målsättningen att 20 procent av EU:s energikon- sumtion ska komma från förnybara källor år 2020 och andelen biodrivmedel ska samma år vara minst 10 procent. Dessutom ska EU nå ett mål om 20 procents energieffektivisering till år 2020. I snabbväxande länder som Kina, Indien och Brasilien är tillgången till billig och säker energi en förutsättning för fortsatt ekonomisk utveckling och här ses den förnybara ener- gin, liksom energieffektivisering, som ett sätt av diversifiera energimixen och minska be- roendet av fossila bränslen. Trots till viss del skilda motiv pågår i såväl Europa som i de snabbväxande ekonomierna ett intensivt arbete för att utforma insatser och styrmedel med syfte att skapa incitaments- strukturer som befrämjar investeringar i utveckling och implementering av ny energitek- nik.

Sharma, Subhash C. Mullick, Tara C. Kandpal n Centre for Energy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi 110016, India article info abstract Article history: Realistic assessment of utilization potential of solar energy for thermal power generation and identification of Received 12 July 2014 niche areas/locations for this purpose is critically important for designing and implementing appropriate Received in revised form policies and promotional measures. 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.
