SOLAR POWER IN INDIA
Mission
z
In the past one year, the government has announced a slew of initiatives to provide an impetus to the solar power segment. It has
launched a scheme for the development of solar parks and ultra mega solar power projects, introduced a viability gap funding
mechanism for public sector-led projects, announced the phasing out of subsidies for solar rooftop projects, and unveiled various
decentralised solar power programmes.
z
All these steps add up well for the government’s vision to achieve 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022, with 40 GW of it coming
from off-grid/distributed generation.
z
In line with this goal, the government is currently pushing through Parliament an amendment to the Electricity Act, 2003, to increase
the solar renewable purchase obligation (RPO) target of the discoms and other obligated entities from 3 per cent by 2022 to 10 per
cent by 2022.
z
As the chorus around the solar power segment gets louder by the day, the list of companies announcing project development plans
is also getting longer. There is high interest among equipment and technology providers from across the world to invest in
manufacturing in India. Financiers too are keen to invest in this space.
z
However, such grand plans require deeper, sustained and market-level efforts. In order to help the market transition from the current
1 GW a year to 15 GW a year, the government needs to act quickly to retain interest and enthusiasm by resolving the long-pending
issues of the solar power segment.
z
The key issues pertain to the lack of project continuum, the lax enforcement of RPOs, the gap between planning and implementation
as has been the case with the Green Energy Corridors project, delays in decision-making, flawed tax structures and import duties, and
the high cost of financing in the country.
z
What also needs to be evaluated in the short to medium term is the sustainability of the demand, given that generation capacity addition
has to be complemented by reforms in the electricity distribution sector to improve the financial viability of the principal consumers.
z
The mission of this conference is to assess the new and emerging opportunities in the solar power segment; analyse the impact of
various policy and regulatory developments on its future growth; and examine the key challenges and roadblocks. The conference will
also provide a platform for sharing experiences, and showcasing noteworthy projects and promising technologies.
