Which are the main reasons why a viable solar manufacturing base has not emerged in India?
8For example, the country does not have a manufacturing base for poly-silicon and ingots/wafers, the upstream stages of solar PV manufacturing chain
8Then again, there are no economies of scale
8There are a whole lot of other factors too which come in the way
8Domestic content requirement caveats are not yielding the desired results.

What steps can the government take to make big scale solar PV manufacturing in India a viable proposition?
8Is it possible to strengthen the Make in India Program to ensure that Indian companies can take on the muscle power of foreign suppliers?
8Is it possible to insulate the domestic solar power industry from the vicissitudes of international market?
8If so, how?
8The government seems to have a gameplan, including rolling out Rs 11000 crores in direct support while extending indirect support by way of concessions to indigenous manufacturers.
8But will all this work, in the absence of genuine competition?

How do you handle the new crisis emerging out of state utilities reneging to offtake power from high-tariff solar power plants.
8Until recently, a solar power developer faced the risk limited to payment behaviour, grid curtailment and merit order despatch of the concerned utilities. But now, with the discovery of low prices in each subsequent auction, and often under the pretext of public interest, discoms have started renegotiating the terms of the power purchase agreements (PPAs) including tariffs.
8These developments have created a certain degree of uncertainty, which should be avoided at this juncture as project installations have just started gathering pace and a tall target of achieving 175 GW by 2022 is to be met.
8What is the solution?

Solar projects can take up large pieces of land and it therefore makes sense to allocate land for them in uninhabited areas.
8The website carries here a social impact assessment of two solar projects in India where the human footprint in negligible.
8What can local communities gain out of such projects?
8Establishment of a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) in every project to ensure that the affected people’s grievances on both environmental and social concerns are adequately addressed, has now become essential.
8Another finding was to ensure employment of as many local people as possible during the construction phase of solar projects

What is the actual outlook for coal demand in India?
8Even as consumption falls elsewhere.
8Coal demand in fact is expected to fall everywhere else except in South East Asia, and, of course, in India
8The big appetite for coal in these areas means that global coal demand increases marginally till 2022 instead of coming down.
8Coal prices are likely to stay volatile as China's demand unpredictability and supply disruptions work through the system over the next five years.
8As far as India is concerned, outside the power sector, growth in thermal coal demand is centred in the industrial sector thanks to robust economic growth, as well as in coking coal, thanks to rising steel consumption, housing, railways and steel-intensive industries such as shipbuilding, defense and vehicle manufacturing.
8The US is likely to emerge as the swing supplier to the rest of the world

Find out Hub-based pricing is slowly winning the war over indexed based LNG pricing matrices
8Big traders such as Trifugara, Vitol and Guvnor are now managing exposures towards hubs
8LNG portfolio exposures are being hedged and optimised against hub price signals.
8Flexible LNG contracts are then optimised against regional spot price signals
8In this context, LNG players are rapidly expanding value and risk management capabilities to support portfolio management
8And commodity traders are acting as a catalyst.
8And this is creating a virtuous cycle supporting hub price penetration.

The government’s thrust on renewables was the key negative for BHEL in past 1 year.
8However such transition will be slower and tendering for conventional energy would range in 10-12GW (including replacement) in foreseeable future, where BHEL commands significant market share (~65%).
8So things are looking up now for the power equipment contactor
8The executable order book has jumped to 78% from a much lower level earlier.
8Slow moving orders are now fructifying
8A slew of orders is now likely by March.
8The company has to make higher provisioning for default by private sector IPPs but even so, the outlook is getting brighter

8In a breakthrough, a Japanese company has developed a hydrogen-based autonomous energy supply system. The set-up is housed in a single container and combines a renewable energy unit, storage batteries, hydrogen-producing water electrolysis equipment, hydrogen and water storage tanks, and fuel cells. Power generated with renewable energy is stored in the battery, ready to electrolyze water and produce hydrogen when needed, day or night. The hydrogen is in turn stored in a highly efficient tank, for delivery to fuel cells that produce electricity and hot water. Click on Reports for more

Nepal seems to be facing a crisis of confidence with its hydro electric power plans. The Chinese are not willing to help out and there is uncertainty over Indian demand.
8In some quarters there is an extreme amount of urgency to bring the proposed and long delayed large-scale projects on track (and eventually on line) before the Indian government follows through with its announcements to substantially increase its solar and nuclear power generation.
8There is an increasing feeling Katmandu that this would effectively erase Nepal’s ability to profit from the harvest of hydropower, and would dismiss the electricity-export-driven development model Nepalese have been working on for decades.
8There are other fears too

8By about 2040,this cost to drop to less than 1 US cent per kWh.
8By this same year, it should also be possible to have floating wind turbines in the ocean produce electricity at a cost of 1 US cent per kwh
8The electricity to people will be brought in in the form of hydrogen.
8By means of electrolysis, the electricity and water will converted into hydrogen and oxygen.
8The world can then transport this hydrogen – compressed or liquefied– anywhere in the world, and store and use it whenever it wants.

Kiran Energy Solar Power Private Ltd was set up in the days when solar power projects were the flavor of the season and before prices went into precipitous decline.
8The company was promoted by two high powered professionals: Alan Rosling, former Executive Director of Tata Sons Ltd, and Mr. Ardeshir Contractor, former Managing
Director of KPMG India. They were backed by support from renowned PE players such as Bessemer Venture Partners, New Silk Route and Argonaut Ventures.
8One solar project was signed at Rs 11.89 per unit, another at Rs 9.34 per unit. Yet another at Rs 15 for the first 12 years of its life. Then again there is agreement at Rs 6.95 with a 2% escalation every year.
8The counterparties are apparently very strong and promoters can bank on their 25-year old PPAs
8But can they, when prices are today at new lows ? A recent auction in Mexico saw solar prices dip to a little over Rs 1/kwh.
8Nothing can be taken for granted in the solar sector any more and no distribution company, however strong, will take a loss beyond a point no matter how watertight the PPA is
8The shine on Kiran Energy has clearly worn off for now.

Eliminating methane emission is the only way gas-based power or industries are going to survive in a low carbon environment.
8Methane emissions from oil and gas operations were estimated at 76 Mt in 2016.
875% reduction from current methane emission levels seems feasible if all available technologies were to be deployed
8The problem is that at lower gas prices, the level of possible emissions reductions globally with measures that have positive net present values would drop from 50% to 40%.
8That is not good enough.
8Targeted regulations, such as requiring uptake of specific technologies and implementation of specific practices and standards, in addition to reporting requirements, will be needed.
