  • Azure Power Provides an Update on 4 GW Tender
    Azure Power Provides an Update on 4 GW Tender December 23, 2020 NEW DELHI, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Azure Power continues to work towards signing PPAs for the 4 GW manufacturing linked tender for which a Letter of Award ("LOA") has already been received. The Solar Energy Corporation of India ("SECI") has informed us that so far there has not been adequate response from the state electricity distribution companies ("DISCOMs") for SECI to be able to sign the PSAs at this stage even though we have a LOA. SECI has mentioned that they will be unable to sign PPAs until PSAs have been signed, and they have committed to inform Azure Power of developments in their e orts with the DISCOMS. Capital costs, interest rates and foreign exchange rates have improved since Azure Power won the 4 GW auction a year ago which have resulted in lower tari s in other recent SECI auctions. We expect these savings likely will be passed on to state electricity distribution companies (DISCOMS). We expect a tari markdown from the price discovered in the auction, which will facilitate signing of PSAs. We will continue our discussions with SECI towards signing PPAs in respect of the 4GW tender and expect the PPAs to be signed in tranches over a period of time. We will continue our policy to only take on contracts that create shareholder value and earn returns that are above our cost of capital. About Azure Power Azure Power (NYSE: AZRE) is a leading independent solar power producer with a pan-India portfolio of 7.1 gigawatts on September 30, 2020 of which 1.8 GWs is operational, 1.3 GWs are under construction and 4.0 GWs have received a Letter of Award but for which PPAs have yet to be signed.

    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.

    INTERNATIONAL: INDIA FEBRUARY 2016 ISSUE BRIEF FILLING THE SKILL GAP IN INDIA’S CLEAN ENERGY MARKET: SOLAR ENERGY FOCUS As India faces rising fuel demand, threats to energy security, and the impacts of climate change, renewable energy offers a critical solution. Innovative clean energy solutions, including large solar parks and rooftop solar panels in dense urban areas, can help solve these daunting challenges, while increasing energy access, creating jobs, and reducing toxic pollution. By the Government of India’s own estimates, a $100 billion investment and a strong policy framework are needed to stimulate immense growth of solar and wind energy markets. To create the policy support needed to realize these generation potential of a robust domestic renewable energy ambitious clean energy goals, the Government of India has market is immense. Original analysis by the Council on introduced a suite of international and domestic initiatives.

RIS Discussion Papers are available at www.ris.org.in Financing Solar Energy: Lessons from Indian Experience Amitendu Palit* The goal of making clean energy the main source of energy consumption for countries, societies and economies cannot be achieved unless the challenge of mobilizing finance for clean projects is effectively addressed. The issue of financing renewable energy has achieved great salience after the coming into force of the Paris Agreement on climate change from 4 November 2016. It is pertinent to note the commitment of the Paris Agreement to: ‘Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development’1. With 174 parties (i.e. countries) ratifying the Paris Agreement, the objective of mobilising climate finance consistent with the goals of sustainable economic development have become parts of national development agendas of all parties. Indeed, the imperative for organizing adequate finance for renewables is high for emerging markets, since these are the countries on the cusp of climate adaptation and trying to achieve the right mix of technology and environment policies for addressing both mitigation and adaptation.
