Finding the right kind of funding for rooftop solar projects in India is a big problem
8There is now a proposal to fund the gap through municipal financing, via issuance of municipal bonds,
8This will increase debt availability while lowering the cost of rooftop power as much as 12%
8Under the “solar municipal bond model” (SMB), a municipal entity would play the role of a finance aggregator for project developers via a Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach similar to the Design-Build-Finance and Operate (DBFO) model.
8By aggregating projects, this model would allow a project developer to access the debt capital markets otherwise difficult to access.
8But there are many challenges in this radical model but they can be mitigated with effective leadership and regulations
Click on Reports for a step-by-step guide to how this model is going to work. Details

Bangladesh's foray into LNG based power projects is under increasing scrutiny within the country.
8Around 7 MMTPA of LNG deals have been signed up
8And yet coal-based power is now being touted as the cheapest option in a market where the electricity is extremely price sensitive
8Then again, the Indian government agencies have released a report that says that imported power is in fact the cheapest option
8A lot of confusion prevails in Bangladesh still on the least cost method to add to the power supply pool in the country

Under all kinds of influence, Nepal is seeing a change in paradigm at the ground level and this will have far-reaching implications in the power sector
8There are consequences for India too
8A new "For Nepali by Nepali" movement has taken root in the power sector in Nepal.
8And this is lead by Nepali NRIs among others. The exact motive is not clear but they could be playing to both sides of the gallery, be it Indian or Chinese.

The small hydel and solar power industry is fraught with all kinds of uncertainties. Some however are luckier than the others.
8One company has a 15 MW hydro power project and has been blessed with good hydrology. Revenues from increased generation has resulted in improved debt protection. The offtake risk is low on account of a long term PPA
8There is however another instance of a 6 MW hydel project which has not been able to service its debt on time account of poor water flow. There is a double whammy as the project is not covered under any deemed generation clause in case of loss of generations due to shortage of water. The relatively high capital cost of the project (Rs. 11.28 crore/MW) is another big problem. Things aren't going well for the generator of late
8The solar industry has a surprisingly large number of successful and unsuccessful developers in the small to medium segments. There are those who seem to be doing well despite high tariff rates while there are others who are struggling. What exactly are the differentiators then that makes one a success and the other a failure.
8Clearly the business is not for the faint-hearted anymore

How far are solar power prices going to go?
8Just last year, prices have plummeted by 27%
8The price of the average silicon solar module is now below $0.32 per watt.
8However, module price is just one factor in the dropping cost of solar.
8A new study showed future cost reductions are expected to be highly dependent on BOS (e.g. inverters, racking and mounting systems, civil works, etc.), rather than relying on the expected reductions in solar module prices.
8That same study estimated that the global average cost of electricity from solar PV would be roughly $0.05/kWh to $0.06/kWh by 2025.
8But if India embarks on a protectionist policy, such cost benefits may not accrue to the economy but to solar equipment suppliers in the country, ring-fenced by anti-dumping duties and compulsory buy-back caveats

Flexibility of India's thermal power system to take on the avalanche of renewable power into the grid is often questioned by critics
8Here is an example of a country whose thermal power plants have been able to take load variations going from 50 GW to as little as 12 GW
8Data shows abysmally low capacity utilization rates during offpeak power and a sudden ramp up subsequently for lignite-based power plants
8And all of them were able to take the fluctuation in their stride
8Fast ramp up from poor PLF levels is now technically feasible as is being shown in this illustration. The other way round too, there does seem to be a technical problem in doing so.

8A new prescription to push PLF of existing generation capacity has come in. And they include
-- Allowing gencos to participate in auction for power supply on a half yearly basis, with the rolling annual average renewable power tariff set as the cap
-- The cap will ensure a built in discount of upto INR 0.5 on account of:
- A clean environment cess of Rs.400/mt - INR 0.25
- And in case of use of the same to subsidize renewable tariff – INR 0.25
-- In addition further discount will be realized through competition among gencos
-- The trend of falling solar power tariff will compel the less efficient coal based units to drop out while technologically advanced plants attain high PLF with lower emission
--Will drive affordability to the centre of power policy while also ensuring environmental sustainability.

The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission had held that the term ‘fuel’ as used in a PPA meant natural gas only in its natural form, and did not include RLNG. Simply because the physical composition of natural gas and RLNG are similar, it does not automatically entitle the respondent to generate power with RLNG, which was more expensive and not domestically available, affecting the per unit supply of power generated by it, as ultimately the consumer would have to pay more.

Do not expect meaningful contribution from commercial mines over the medium term. Assuming the mines are offered over the next 1-2 years, it will take a few years to have land, clearances and infrastructure in place (in a captive coal mine auction, the government allows 3-4 years of this) and some more years for the ramp-up.
8Competitiveness of private miners will depend on the price offered to secure the mining rights and the type of mines offered (stripping ratio, geology, grade, access to infrastructure).
8While on a like-to-like basis, Coal India could be uncompetitive to private miners due to its legacy cost, it has the advantage (unlike private miners) of not needing to pay for mining rights.
8Coal will continue being the key to electricity generation growth in India, given that solar power (an alternative) has issues with variability and is capped by land availability.
8For the time being there does not seem to be a substitute for coal or for coal India.

8But unlike in other places in the world, coal demand in India will up significantly in the next 20 years. Imports will go up by as much as 80% from now
8Since India's domestic oil output declines, imports will rise by 175% and account for 65% of the increase in energy imports, followed by gas (+291%).
