Developing Solar Projects under REC Mechanism in IndiaBhargav Parmar
Instead of signing MoU, PPA, submitting performance bank guarantee etc for 25 years or participating in cut throat bidding process (project is viable only to module manufacturers for the rate it can be achieved), I suggest to develop the solar project under REC Mechanism, as for selling the power through average exchange rate and realizing the mean value of REC rate for first five years and half of the floor price for next 5 years, yields levellised rate of Rs.10.536*. [Solar Tariff in Gujarat: Rs. 9.28 for project commissioned up to 2013, Rs. 8.63 for project commissioned up to 2014 and Rs. 8.03 for project commissioned up to 2015].
Even if REC floor price is reduced by half for next 5 years and NIL thereafter, developing the project under REC and selling the power through Energy Exchange, would yield rate of Rs.9.647 which is more than maximum rate of NVVN against cost of generation not more than Rs.6.50. [NVVN is the nodal agency of NTPC for procuring solar power to meet their REC requirement. In the 1st phase NVVN finalized bid for 150 MW Solar Projects and in latest bid for 350 MW Solar Projects.

This document summarizes the key issues facing Pakistan's economy and energy security, specifically in the power sector. It identifies three main causes of the ongoing problems: (1) an unwillingness by many to pay the true price for electricity due to subsidies and lack of enforcement, (2) political pressure to maintain subsidies across all consumers rather than targeting the poor, and (3) high transmission losses from theft and poor infrastructure that amount to $1.7 billion annually. The document evaluates some proposed solutions in Pakistan's new National Power Policy to address tariffs, losses, and competition, but questions who will be responsible to implement and oversee the reforms across different agencies.
This document summarizes the key issues facing Pakistan's economy and energy security, specifically in the power sector. It identifies three main causes of the ongoing problems: (1) an unwillingness by many to pay the actual costs of electricity due to subsidies; (2) political pressure to maintain subsidies across all consumers; and (3) high transmission losses and theft due in part to weak accountability. The document reviews various proposals in Pakistan's new National Power Policy to address these issues through tariff reforms, curbing losses, and increasing competition in generation. Overall it argues comprehensive reforms are needed across regulatory bodies, state-owned companies, and the civil service to resolve the systemic problems plaguing the power sector.
India has set capacity addition targets of 62,374 MW, 79,690 MW and 79,200 MW for the 11th, 12th and 13th five-year plans respectively. Thermal power remains India's most important energy source but there is still a supply-demand gap that has been increasing. The document discusses various options and challenges for increasing domestic coal production and supply as well as increasing imports to help meet demand. Demand side management including smart grids and demand response are presented as potential solutions to optimize resource utilization and strengthen energy security.
With a production of 1,006 Terawatt Hours (TWh), India is the fifth largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world. Over FY07-13, the production has expanded at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5 per cent.
Multiple drivers (industrial expansion, growing per-capita incomes) are leading to growth in power demand; this is set to continue in the coming years. Power consumption is estimated to increase from 821.2 TWh in 2013 to 1,433.2 TWh by 2022.
Power is one of the key sectors attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into India. Total FDI inflows in the sector has touched US$ 7.8 billion during April 2000-March 2013, accounting for 4 per cent of total FDI inflow in India. Major investments earmarked by public as well as private sector companies across the value chain.
The National Tariff Policy (2006) has ensured adequate return on investment to companies engaged in power generation, transmission and distribution and assured electricity to end-users at affordable and competitive rates. The government has also launched of Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) scheme through tariff-based competitive bidding. The Government of India targets capacity addition of 89 GW under the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012–17) and around 100 GW under the 13th Five-Year Plan (2017–22). Investments of around US$ 223.9 billion are planned for the power sector during the 12th Plan Five-Year Plan (2012-17).
Captive Power Plants has made a major contribution to the development of the power industry in India. The authors argue that this is possibly an overlooked opportunity in Africa.
This document discusses fuel supply issues and risk mitigation measures for India's power sector. It notes India's growing energy demand driven by economic growth.

15. Option with the Discoms: Utilising Exchange Market
• PPA for base load only
i. Discoms should tie-up PPA only to manage their base
demand
ii. Many Discoms have tied PPAs to meet their peak
demand as well. The Discoms have to pay the capacity
charge for this quantum even in the off peak time
example Gujarat, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab
iii. So for optimum utilisation, Long Term PPA should be
only for base demand and seasonal variations should
be bought through other available market options

25. Cost Optimization by Bihar
• Bihar has initiated the process of Cost Optimization
• The costlier power from Barh & Dadri stations is replaced by
the cheaper power from IEX.
• The Energy Charges of these power plants are greater than
the IEX rates.
• Bihar has made a saving of over 11 crores in 21 days
Due to low prices at the Exchange there is further potential to
increase savings

optimisation bid which should be put into the IEX bidding platform
along with details of backing down if the Bid is selected
• Benefits:
