Will Renewable Energy Certificates(RECs) drive the growth of Solar in India?madhavanvee
The document discusses Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and their role in driving solar growth in India. RECs are important because they allow obligated entities to meet renewable purchase obligations (RPOs) mandated by states, providing a financial incentive for solar projects. RECs can make financial sense for solar projects compared to preferential tariffs, with internal rates of return ranging from 10-38% depending on REC and power prices. However, RECs also face challenges related to lack of enforcement of RPOs, uncertainty around prices and policies, and financial issues facing distribution companies. Overall, RECs provide a promising mechanism to support solar growth in India if these challenges can be addressed.

This document provides a summary of a scoping study on independent advocacy for people with dementia and unpaid carers in Scotland. It was commissioned by the Life Changes Trust to better understand how advocacy could benefit those affected by dementia and to determine if further investment is needed. The study aimed to explore the role of advocacy, availability of services, appropriate models, and ways to improve access. It utilized surveys and visits to three regions in Scotland to engage with people with dementia, carers, and organizations. The findings will help inform the Trust's approach to further supporting advocacy for this group.

This document provides techniques for effective vocal delivery when giving presentations. It discusses varying pitch, tempo, volume and articulation. Some key vocal delivery techniques include using stress, pacing, and emphasis. Stress can change the meaning of sentences. Pacing involves using pauses to slow down speech. Emphasis exaggerates important points, such as stressing unstressed words, emphasizing particular phrases, using intensifiers, and drawing attention through verbs. The overall advice is to sound natural and vivid when speaking.

New Regulation for Indonesia's PV Policy
Indonesia’s solar photovoltaic ('PV') industry has welcomed the long-awaited Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources ('ESDM') Regulation No. 19 of 2016 (the 'Regulation'), which introduces a new first-come, first-served ('FCFS') capacity quota offering process following the revocation of ESDM Regulation No. 17 of 2013 (the 'Original Regulation') by the Supreme Court.
Under the Regulation, PLN must deliver a revised model PPA to ESDM through EBTKE (defined below) by 24 August 2016, which will comprise an extendable 20-year term from the commercial operation date. Feed-in tariffs ('FiTs'), including power transmission line connections fees, will be established under the FCFS process and paid in Indonesian Rupiah using JISDOR.
Not entirely clear cut, local content requirements appear to be defined by reference to existing Ministry of Industry regulations for electricity infrastructure. This is in contrast to the Original Regulation, which contemplated that olar developers and investors ('SDIs') do not necessarily need to comply. For communal or centralised solar power plants (which is undefined), the existing regulations require 43.85% local content for combined goods and services. Failure to meet these requirements may result in FiT reductions or other penalties.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

Letter No-Pra 02/Breda Apra Niti-11/08/2845 Patna, Dated: 24/06/2011
Subject : “Bihar Policy for promotion of New and Renewable Energy Sources 2011”
The energy need of the populace is increasing by the day, whereas the conventional source of energy is
insufficient to meet the rising demand, Thereby adversely affecting the environment as well. Therefore there is
an urgent need to develop and exploit non-conventional and renewable sources of energy in the state. With a
view to promote the power generation from New and Renewable Energy sources, Government of Bihar formulated
a policy as “Policy Guideline for Private Sector Participation for Developing Non-Conventional Energy Sources”
in 2003, which ended in 2008.
Bihar has considerable potential for New and Renewable Energy sources, which is yet to be harnessed,
the Government of Bihar resolved to issue a revised policy for promotion of power generation from various
sources of New and Renewable Energy.
