Why the Rooftop Solar Market Is on Fire in India? # 71 March-April 2018 Why the Rooftop Solar Market is on fire in India? Despite the ‘growth of sorts’ achieved in the past few years, India has miles to go before it achieves the solar rooftop target. According to the Bloomberg New Energy Finance report, the pace of new installations needs to double every year between now and 2022 if we were to achieve the 2022 target.

  • Mercom Capital Group India Solar Market Update
    Mercom Capital Group India Solar Market Update India Solar Quarterly Market Update Indian Solar Market Picks Up Speed With More Than 4 GW Forecasted in 2016 March 2016 KEY FINDINGS India solar installations totaled 2,133 MW in 2015, up from 883 MW installed in 2014, year-over-year (YoY) growth of 142%. Mercom is forecasting 2016 installations to reach approximately 4 GW, almost 100% YoY growth. Auctions are being announced at a brisk pace even though delays and extensions are fairly common. Approximately 10 GW of solar projects are currently under development with about 8.4 GW more to be auctioned over the next few months. So far, 16 states have principally agreed to join the UDAY debt restructuring program. Of these states, only seven have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). The World Trade Organization (WTO) has ruled against India’s domestic content policy for solar cells and modules. Aggressive bidding continues to be a major concern with the latest auctions hitting new lows at ₹4.34 ($0.064)/kWh. The Clean Environment Cess (tax) has doubled from ₹200 (~$3)/ton to ₹400 (~$6)/ton in the 2016-17 budget. A national RPO of 8% by March 2022 has been approved by the Union Cabinet in the revised power tariff policy 2016.

  • India's Utility-Scale Solar Parks a Global Success Story
    1 Kashish Shah, Research Analyst May 2020 India’s Utility-Scale Solar Parks a Global Success Story India Is Home to the World’s Largest Utility-Scale Solar Installations Executive Summary Renewable energy in India has taken centre-stage when it comes to the significant development of energy infrastructure required to achieve India’s economic goals. In 2016, the Indian government set a giant target of 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy by financial year (FY) 2021/22 and 275GW by FY2026/27 to transform the power sector from an expensive, unreliable, and polluting fossil-fuels based system into a low-cost, reliable and low-emission system based on renewable energy. In February 2019, the target was upgraded to 450GW by 2030 as per the Central Electricity Authority’s latest draft report on ‘optimal generation capacity mix for 2030’.1 India’s electricity sector transition had a promising start, driven by deflationary momentum in the cost of solar and wind energy generation equipment, cheaper financing and a favourable policy environment. As of March 2020, India’s on-grid renewable energy capacity stood at 87GW. Of the 30GW of renewable energy A promising start, capacity installed since the beginning of driven by deflationary FY2017/18 coupled with an additional 50GW awarded to date, more than 90% momentum in the cost has been contracted at tariffs ranging of solar and wind energy between Rs2.43-2.80/kilowatt hour generation equipment. (kWh) (~US$35-40/MWh) with zero indexation for 25 years. This is 60-70% 1 CEA. Draft report on optimal generation capacity mix for 2030.

  • Solar Park Development and Business Structure
    Solar Transmission Sector Project (RRP IND 49214) SOLAR PARK DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESS STRUCTURE 1. Overview 1. India lies in the high solar insolation region, endowed with large solar energy potential with most of the country having about 300 days of sunshine per year with annual mean daily global solar radiation in the range of 4–6 kilowatt hour per square meter per day. Therefore, solar power projects can be set up anywhere in the country. However, the scattering of solar power projects leads to higher project cost per megawatt (MW) and higher transmission losses. Individual projects of smaller capacity incur significant expenses in site development, drawing separate transmission lines to nearest substation, procuring water and in creation of other necessary infrastructure. It also it takes a long time for project developers to acquire land, get change of land use and various permissions which tends to delay the project and is the perceived risk for project developers. 2. In order for the solar power generation project development to (i) mitigate upfront risks, (ii) reduce costs and time, and (iii) ensure coordination with various stakeholders, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the Government of India set out a scheme for solar park development in 2014.1 MNRE has planned to set up 34 solar parks in 21 states to develop about 20 gigawatt (GW) of solar power generation capacity within 5 years towards 2022. Concept of solar parks is outlined in Figure 1 with concentrated zones of solar power generation projects. Relating to the subprojects for transmission to help supply solar power under the sector loan project, specific features and indicative status of six solar parks in the states of Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan are in Annex 1 (the status may be changed over the development progress).
