  1. Financing PV Projects- IREDA’s Achievement Shri B.V Rao Chief General Manager (Technical) Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd. Solar Market - 2013 Hotel Crowne Plaza, New Delhi, May 7,2013

  2. Solar PV Financing- IREDA’s Experiences and Perspective Renewable Energy installed capacity, March,2013 Solar Power stands at ~ 6% of total installed renewable energy projects. • Approx. 88 % of Solar capacity is installed in Gujarat and Rajasthan

  3. IREDA’s Achievements & Experience

  4. As a financing institution • Received 54 Project applications ( PV, CSP) for Rs 3191 Crores. • Financed ~21 projects – under Gujarat Policy, RPSSGP & GBI scheme of MNRE, JNNSM Ph-I batch II, third party PPA. • Sanction of Rs 669 Crores, Disbursement of Rs 234 Croreswith total capacity of 107 MW . • Project capacity from 1 MW to 20 MW, located in various parts of country including Rajasthan,Jharkhand,Tamilnadu,Punjab,Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh. • Programme Administrator and GBI disbursement for RPSSGP projects. • Re-financing Institution for Off-grid projects. • Extending Manufacturing loans. • Active involvement in formulation of policies and implementation. IREDA’s Role

  5. Suppliers and Services IREDA’s Role -Observations on RPSSGP Scheme EPC Contractors PV Modules

  6. IREDA’s Role -Observations on RPSSGP Scheme Performance Trends* * Based on data of minimum 6 months or more for selected projects

  7. JNNSM • JNNSM Ph- II Viability gap funding draft announced, 750MW proposed. • Gujarat • Remains the leading state with highest installed capacity of ~ 850 MW till date, initiated several rooftop pilot projects. • Rajasthan • Second leading state with ~ 500 MW of installed capacity. Separate solar policy allocation in progress. • Released 75 MW shortlist with tariff of Rs 6.75/ unit against a target allocation of 100 MW each in PV and CSP. • Karnataka • Targets solar capacity addition of 350 MW by 2016 under its policy notified in July, 2011. • In mid April, 2012, 80 MW allotted. • To install 200 MW up to 2015-16, for the purpose of procurement by the ESCOMS. • Maharashtra • 125 MW solar PV project under implementation. • Madhya Pradesh • Targets setting up of 800 MW (4 solar parks of 200 MW each) • Clearance awarded for setting up 297 MW. Policies Scenario

  8. Andhra Pradesh • Incentives to promote utility grid power projects for Captive Use/ Direct Sale to third party/within the state and Utility Grid Power Projects for sale through RE (Solar) Certificate Mechanism . • 331 bids for development of 1,780 MW under consideration. • Tariff announcement of uniform Rs 6.49/ unit is expected to be dampener. • Tamilnadu • Aims to achieve 3GW installed capacity by 2015. • Investment subsidy of INR 20,000 per KW for residential solar projects. • Bids for a total of about 500 MW of solar power generating capacity, with lowest quoted tariff of Rs 5.97/ unit. • Orissa • Targets 50 MW by 2012-13. Allocation of 25 MW projects • UP • Targets of 1 GW by 2017. Competitive bidding to be held for a capacity of 200 MW and the last date for submission being marked as 24th April 2013. • UPPCL to sign PPA with successful bidders for a period of 10 years

  9. Technology • Financing • Policy Issues & Barriers

  10. With reverse bidding ,compromise in quality for cost cutting is visible. • Delay in Evacuation / Transmission facility/ other land related permissions, Single window clearance remains to be implemented. • Non- availability of stable grid is a big question for LT connected rooftop projects. • Lack of best practices in Operation & Maintenance contracts . Technology related issues

  11. Financial closure not achieved on time • Uncertainty of payment by utilities for long period i.e. 25 years; latest policies envisaging 10 year PPA along with lower tariffs. • Majority of developers not opting for ‘Arms length’ third party EPC Contracts thus increasing risk of delay and performance. • Wide variations in costs using similar components & technology • Contract clauses not adequate w.r.t. • LDs, penalties, Performance guarantees, insurance • Inadequate specifications • More time taken for obtaining important clearances, usual time taken for NA use permission is 6 months. • Implies that • Banks/FI s due diligence increases. • Strengthening of security. • Repayment period may have to be extended (beyond 10 years). • Debt funding /leverage may have to be reduced in order to achieve comfortable DSCRs. Finance related Challenges

  12. RPO yet to enforce fulfillment, no clarity in enforcement . • REC mechanism– yet to be fully realized for Solar. • Focus on installation – VGF funding is more focused towards commissioning of installed capacity , present structure has no incentive for optimum performance over period of loan repayment ( at least). • Policy environment uncertainty – Recent changes in announced policies in AP, Policy related Barriers

  13. Single window Clearances need to be activated urgently. • PLF/CUF projections to be realistic considering de-rating and heat & dust losses. • Condition of substation (downtime) to be critically examined for LT connected projects. • EPC Contracts should be structured to give back to back guarantees/warranties to mitigate project risks. • Strengthening of Project performance. Suggestions/Challenges

  14. Realistic radiation data to be used (ground data). CWET has set up 51 solar radiation monitoring systems to measure on-ground data. • Strict compliance of RPO will ensure more projects under REC. • Exchange of information database on project performance among Banks/ FIs . • Establishment of online performance database for projects under JNNSM and state policies. • Establishment of Solar parks to optimize costs.
