Suggestions for Risk Mitigation • Ad vocation for long term / stable/ consistent policies at central / state level- to honor PPAs and MoUs. • Frequent / close interaction with all stake holders including regulatory commissions- to stipulate appropriate GBI/PPA based on capital cost. • Proper Resource assessment studies. • Provision of partial risk guarantee fund from Govt. • Importance of timely clearances / approvals for solar projects. • To create special single window clearance cell at state level.
Suggestions for Risk Mitigation • Promoters to take advance actions to avoid delay of deliveries- to meet targets under JNNSM. • To encourage establishment of more manufacturing units/ suppliers in the country- to deliver indigenous cells and modules as per the requirement of JNNSM . • To establish a mechanism to have information exchange between various FIs and banks-for co-financing or consortium financing. • Detailed site survey reports to be undertaken through professional bodies- to maximize performance efficiencies. • To establish more training institutions for producing skilled manpower-capacity building.
Suggestions for Risk Mitigation • To stipulate suitable conditions for recovery of loan from operations of solar projects in the event of failure of core business (for non IPP projects). • Concurrent monitoring of projects by Fis by appointment of lenders engineers. • Periodic inspection / monitoring of projects even after implementation. (TRA and Generation data) • Innovative financing models by accessing low cost funds from international institutions.
