Next generation opportunities in utility scale solarMEC Intelligence
The solar industry is steaming ahead, and 2016 was another record year with a global market of around 74 GW installed, up 30% from 2015. The current projection is that the total installed capacity will be more than double from today’s 320 GW to some 680 GW by 2020 (21% annual growth), and reach 1,300 GW by 2025. At this rate, solar will overtake wind by 2020 in terms of annual capacity added, and by 2022 have more total capacity installed. Solar will then be placed right at the top across all energy sources in terms of new capacity added, representing a third of new capacity in 2020.
The utility-scale segment has been a key driver of the fast growth of solar during the last years, reaching almost 60% of all solar capacity installed in 2016 (Figure 3). A major trend for this segment has been a shift from mature European markets like Germany and Italy, which have relatively less utility-scale projects and more rooftop installations, to emerging markets like China and India, where utility-scale solar dominates.
According to report, utility-scale solar is a segment dominated by the standard multi-crystalline technology, typically deployed in 20-100 MW ground-mount projects, followed by monocrystalline and thin film (Figure 2). The other solar technologies deployed in utility projects are concentrated high-efficiency PV (CPV) and concentrated solar power that converts heat into steam (CSP). These technologies require high levels of direct solar irradiation (ideally desert conditions), which limits their market adoption, and these technologies have also struggled to bring down costs as fast as standard PV due to the smaller volumes deployed (~2%)
This document discusses the development of utility-scale solar and provides a perspective on opportunities and challenges for energy incumbents. It is a starting point for a discussion that many incumbents are currently engaged in – is there a viable role for us to play in utility-scale solar, and what should the strategy be? Find out in this report.
Solar power – clean, reliable, and increasingly affordable – is experiencing remarkable growth and popularity across the globe. Various factors such as technological advancements, reduction in power generation costs, development in installation methodologies are attracting investors into the solar energy market.
The development of solar capacities would be split between utility scale and rooftop installations. From 2015 to 2019, the four geographies of US, EU, India and China will add nearly 105 GW of rooftop solar capacity, as compared to 120 GW in utility scale. Also, the ramp up of solar & wind capacities will represent a combined investment opportunity.
Hybrid renewable energy systems are becoming popular in power generation applications due to advances in renewable energy technologies and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products. For example, global wind technology majors like Gamesa and Suzlon are entering solar market in emerging geographies like India with EPC services, levering experience in building large scale plants. Hybrid renewable energy systems leverage synergies between the two renewable sources to benefit the producer and consumer alike.
This report gives an overview of how solar power is emerging as a popular alternate to other sources in the field of renewable energy. Various aspects of hybrid renewable energy systems are specifically reviewed in this report. Future trends as well as opportunities for hybrid renewable energy systems are also presented in the report. The information in this report is of general interest to understand the strengths and weaknesses and hence to have a better grasp of the benefits available from hybrid renewable energy systems.
2015 Foundations for larger and deeper Offshore Wind MEC Intelligence
For offshore wind farms installations, foundation selection plays an important role in the overall concept design as there are large financial implications attached to the choices made. Foundation costs are primarily driven by material & installation costs and have been considered in this report.
New foundation designs have lower costs as turbines become larger and installed in deeper sea. For instance, 6 MW, new foundations are ~4-20% lower in material cost when compared to monopiles & jackets while for turbine sizes 8 MW and larger, new designs reduce the cost by ~21-24%. Cost reduction potential of 5-15% is observed for foundations at selected 5 farms in Europe. However, developers need to manage risk and other associated premium costs with appropriate contracting.
This reports presents detailed and fact based evaluation of foundations technologies for larger & deeper offshore wind farms. It also offers an evaluation of innovations that could assist in driving down the cost of the installation of foundation for offshore wind farm operations.
Offshore wind industry is being used by a number of countries to harness the energy of strong, consistent winds that are found over the oceans. In the United States, abundant offshore wind resources have the potential to supply immense quantities of renewable energy to major U.S. coastal cities. The US has an attractive potential of ~10 GW by 2020, driven from sites in the Atlantic Ocean, and ~54 GW by 2030, at which time the Pacific Coast and the Great Lakes are expected to be developed.
At present, no new project is commissioned in the US and of the current ~6.9 GW in the US pipeline, only ~1.4 GW is expected to be commissioned by 2020 due to long consent periods and an undeveloped supply chain, indicating a gap of 8.6 GW to DoE ambition in 2020. Immature supply chain, approval delays and low cost competitiveness are key factors for slow development, however, expected return of PTC is an upside.
This report offers insights on US offshore wind industry analysing its current position, upfront challenges and future expectations. Considering the great potential, global contractors and financial investors are expected to enter the US offshore wind industry as they can utilize experiences gained in Europe. Incumbents as well as new entrants are developing projects in partnership with other members of the supply chain in order to gain experience and reduce risks. This report also presents a thorough evaluation of the key players in the industry and developments for wind energy project realisation in the US.
Offshore wind sector is progressing to become the fastest growing cleantech technology globally in recent years. While Europe has been the leading within off-shore wind development, China is expected to lead the way in the future within this domain. By 2020, based on the announced targets, China alone is expected to account for almost 40% of the global offshore wind capacity target of about 70 GW by 2020, more than double that of the United Kingdom.
Chinese offshore sector aims to be the next growth centre of the industry. It has been estimated that China has a total potential of developing about 750 GW of offshore wind, of which 200 GW is in water depths between 5-25 metres. On the other hand, issues such as defining a process for consenting, approval and governance in general combined with an immature supply chain pose risks for potential returns.
With comprehensive dedication, China aims to meet its targets and offer paths to future growth for the domestic players. Also, it has been observed that the Chinese government is sensitised to the bottlenecks that exist in the off- shore wind industry and has proactively displayed a positive intent to correct procedural delays and moderate tariffs.
This report presents detailed overview of the Chinese offshore wind industry and high-level assessment of the maturity level of the different categories in the value chain. For global leaders, this report will contribute to current or upcoming strategic considerations in an emerging global offshore wind industry.
Offshore wind farms consist of a number of wind turbine generators. A grid of cables interconnects the generators and brings the power to shore. Cable links that connect offshore wind farms to shore contribute to sustainable electricity distribution. The know-how for installing transmission cable interconnections is a valuable asset for the offshore wind industry.
It has been observed that a number of challenges have been faced by offshore wind industry for cable installation and maintenance, which is evident from the fact that ~70% of the insurance claims from offshore wind farm operations relate to cable damage. Hence, it is imperative to adapt the method which is not only advantageous for long transmission and connections but is also cost effective.
This report describes a good practice for the installation of offshore wind transmission cables. It provides an overview of the primary economic & technological drivers related to cable installation and global industry players. It also offers an evaluation of innovations that could assist in driving down the cost of the installation and maintenance of cables in offshore wind farm operations.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Objective benchmarking for valuation of target's business

Objective benchmarking for valuation of
target’s business
Designed and executed valuation framework for Tier 1 business in APAC, to
support transaction intelligence at global energy leader
September 2019
The Challenge
The client, a leading wind energy supply chain player is front-runner in multiple global wind markets,
wanted to establish a leadership position in the APAC market since 2016/17. Within APAC, the
company is specifically focused on high growth India wind market and using it as a hub for targeting
regional volumes. Despite multiple organic efforts, the client was consistently falling short of its
targets around market share, therefore it eventually scouted for acquisition opportunities and
identified a target. Their global corporate strategy and M&A team initiated due diligence for this
target, including legal, financial, commercial and asset due diligence.
MEC was asked to support commercial and asset due diligence for arriving at the valuation of the
player, including fitment of platform and assets to future trajectory of the markets.
Our Approach
To understand the potential of commercial platform of the target and its alignment to the future
growth opportunities, MEC conducted 3 core analysis:
• Assessing potential domestic and international volumes in South Asia and building business
case for supplying out of India
• Clear assessment of competitive position of the target around future customer needs and
key success factors in the market
• Testing of management assumptions regarding market growth, operating model, pricing,
margins and the ability to provide services around their product
The commercial due diligence clarified that a new normal has been set in India with a low price of
EUR 30-35/kWh. The market volumes will be lumpy (in spurts) in short to medium term as power
off-takers adjust to new reality, land becomes a bottleneck to impact prices, and grid availability
issues come to the fore. International market in SEA will be fragmented and will be triggered
sporadically varying by geography & timing.
The target’s commercial platform was assessed for readiness towards market shift and opportunity
to optimize the setup were highlighted to the client. Additionally, client was provided inputs
specifically on gaps in the management assumptions on pricing, growth, customer stickiness, cost
profile, contribution margin, ability to export and localize for winning orders. The 360⁰ assessment
enabled to understand the extent to which the new commercial platform will be able to support its
growth targets.
The results of commercial due diligence were used as inputs to the asset due diligence to crystalize
insights on relative usability of assets and appropriating valuation accordingly. MEC applied
framework to segment the asset base on basis of commercial utility:

• Objective grading of assets based on maturity of asset and fitment with market demand
timings/ geographies
• Investments needed to connect to market demand including plugging gaps in target assets
and new asset acquisition
• Ability to build these assets ground up (in-house model) including need for investment,
resources and timeline of doing so
The Impact
The results of commercial and asset due diligence enabled the client to clearly determine the
coverage provided by the target in its market share goals and further investment needed to meet
the gap. The client was thus able to effectively negotiate the valuation of the target in order to
maximize the returns on its investment and prioritize the rationale for further investment in the
APAC region.
