    Philippine solar power developers call for incentives extension

    Prospective solar power project developers in the Philippines have again called upon the government to increase the capacity eligible for higher feed-in tariffs.

    The Philippine Solar Power Alliance has urged the government to increase the capacity eligible for higher feed-in tariff from 500 MW to 2 GW.

    The recommendation comes following the government’s announcement to increase renewable energy capacity addition targets. The government initially offered a higher target of PHP 9.68 per KWh for just 50 MW solar power capacity, though the cap was subsequently increased to 500 MW. Developers now want a second revision to the cap.

    As the 500 MW cap has been achieved, the project developers are now eligible for a revised tariff of PHP 8.69 per KWh. These tariffs will be applicable for a period of 20 years.

    The Energy Regulatory Commission has also revised the original cap for wind energy sector from 200 MW to 400 MW. The original tariff offered to wind energy project developers was PHP 8.53 per KWh which is proposed to be revised to PHP 7.93 per KWh.

    Trina Solar to supply modules to solar power project in Yunnan

    Trina Solar Limited, a global leader in photovoltaic modules, solutions, and services, announced that it has signed an agreement to supply 51 MW of its Dual Glass Modules to Yunnan Electric Power Design Institute, a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd., and the EPC provider for the agricultural PV power plant project located in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province in China. The plant will be used to power equipment in tea plantations, and will be the first of its kind within China.

    The agricultural PV project has the capacity of 100 MW totally. Phase 1 of the project will be 51 MW and will utilize Trina Solar's dual glass modules, including approximately 43,516 of Trina Solar's TSM-255 modules and 154,284 of the Company's TSM-260 modules. These dual glass frameless modules are extremely durable, made with front and back layers of heat-strengthened glass, providing strong protection against environmental factors such as heavy humidity and pesticide use, while maintaining a high rate of sunlight transmission and efficiency. They excel in greenhouse environments, where properly maintaining temperature is crucial to the success of crop growth. The shipments are expected to complete in Q3 2015.

    A recent report by IDC Energy Insights states that, in the energy industry, successful execution of projects in the design, construction, and operation of facilities is dependent on more than ensuring that schedules are met.

    Mr Jichun Zhang, Deputy General Manager of Yunnan Electric Power Design Institute said that "We are very pleased to cooperate with Trina Solar, an industry leader with a vision to build a greener world, for apioneer project in China to put solar power to work on the tea plantations. I believe with Trina Solar's leading technology and highly reliable products, the tea plantations can be more efficient with increasing self-reliance and less pollution."

    Mr Zhiguo Zhu, COO and President of Module Business Unit of Trina Solar, said that "We are very glad to partner with Yunnan Electric Power Design Institute to develop this pioneer project in Yunnan province. We are pleased with the opportunity to once again conduct a new innovative deployment of PV modules and I believe our commitment to high quality products and continuous technology advancement has made us partner of choice for this project. Our dual glass modules have been very well-received by the market since its launch, and I am confident that it will provide the durability, reliability, and efficiency that is required for this project to succeed."

    Maruti Suzuki's focus on solar power for captive generation

    My Digital FC reported that Maruti Suzuki India will now increasingly focus on solar and other clean energy to meet its captive requirement. This is in line with its parent company Suzuki Corporation’s policy and philosophy.

    Mr Rajiv Gandhi, ED of production at Maruti Suzuki, said that “The company is looking at taking the solar project on a larger scale.”

    Mr Gandhi said that “For a brighter future, it is imperative that we focus on clean technology, sustainability and renewable energy. The one MW photovoltaic solar power plant installed at the Manesar facility is in line with company’s philosophy of adopting environmental-friendly technology and harnessing renewable energy. Though such technology has high upfront cost, it helps bring down CO2 emissions. Solar energy is abundant, versatile and efficient and we are committed to expand our environment care initiatives in future.”

    This is in line with the moves initiated by Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan. Suzuki is developing a new solar power plant in Makinohara, Shizuoka prefecture. The mega solar system within the Nakazato industrial park in Makinohara city is expected to become operational this year. The solar plant is being built on a company-owned 42-hectare land in the industrial park and is best suited for the company’s great insolation facility.

    The entire 18 MW solar power generated at this plant will be sold to the Chubu Electric Power Co, Inc. The capacity is equal to 5,700 standard households. Moreover, Suzuki will promote installing solar panels by utilising unused land of Maisaka-cho, located in Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu, and the roof of the Hamamatsu Plant, scheduled to be constructed in Miyakoda-cho of the Kita-ku, Hamamatsu.

    The official spokesperson of the company said that Suzuki will thus contribute to the local community through its solar power business, and strengthen its efforts on environmental problems by promoting production of the energy for local consumption.

    In India however, Maruti Suzuki has been generating electricity from its captive power plants both at Gurgaon and Manesar, to meet plant’s power requirement. Over 96% of this requirement is met through its captive power plants. The major source used is natural gas, a cleaner fuel.

    Israel to build USD 1.05 bln thermo-solar power plant in Negev desert


    Haaretz reported that Israel signed a deal to build a USD 1.05 billion thermo-solar power plant in the country's south, aimed at boosting electricity production from renewable energy sources.

    The 121 MW plant, which will also be able to store electricity, will be built by a consortium of Israel's Shikun & Binui and Spain's Abengoa in Ashalim in Israel's southern Negev desert near another solar plant.

    The plant, to be built under a build, operate and transfer program, is expected to come online in the first half of 2018.

    Both plants - along with a planned photovoltaic power plant nearby - will provide 2 percent of total electricity production in Israel, which has a target of 10 percent coming from renewable sources by 2020.

    They will be financed by the European Investment Bank and the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

    Beste Chineesintimboektoe,

    Als ik het lijstje bekijk, zie ik overwegend rood? Of ben ik kleurenblind. Af gezien daarvan, ik beleg niet in zon-gerelateerde aandelen. Ik heb wel dit jaar panelen gekocht, en die doen het prima!

    Terugverdientijd tussen 4 en 4,5 jaar. (na aftrek BTW). Misschien zelfs iets eerder. Dat is pas een rendement! Gegarandeerd en nog goed voor het milieu ook. Daarna is de opbrengst per jaar, in mijn geval) ongeveer 500-550 euro netto op een investering van 3000 euro netto.

    Zie dat maar eens met aandelen te doen, Jaar in, jaar uit.
    Na 10 jaar moet er wel een nieuwe omvormer komen, en het rendement van de panelen gaat ieder jaar iets achteruit. Hoe dan ook, een enorme positieve investering.

    BTW, zomaar een advies geven, over enig aandeel, wat dan ook, doe ik niet. Levensgevaarlijk, en dat moet jij ook weten.

    Veel succes verder met je keuze(n) natuurlijk.

    Klopt, maar de grafiek liet toch een stijging zien van 100%, ik dacht dat het iets te maken kon hebben met de 30% daling op de Chinese beurs die ook invloed in HK had/heeft.

    Ik ga even wat informatie opvragen over zonnepanelen, dat is inderdaad ook rendement!

    Distributed solar power revenues may triple in decade - Navigant

    According to the industry analyst Navigant Research, global revenues from distributed solar photovoltaic power are expected to more than triple in a decade as the technology becomes viable without subsidies.

    Navigant said in an e-mailed study that revenue from the installations, which are typically small-scale and deliver power to areas near the point of generation, is forecast to rise to USD 151.6 billion in 2024 from USD 40.6 billion last year.

    Mr Roberto Rodriguez Labastida, an analyst at Navigant, said that “The distributed solar PV generation market continues to transition from being dependent on lavish feed-in tariffs and environmentally conscious wealthy homeowners to a cost-effective source of electricity that is gaining traction.”

    Navigant predicted about 346 GW of new distributed solar PV panels will be installed globally from this year through 2024, producing total revenue for the industry of USD 668.5 billion. Over that time, subsidies are expected to be reduced 'significantly' as installation costs decline 4% to 6% a year.

    India's annual solar investments to surpass those in coal by 2020 - Report

    Published on Tue, 21 Jul 2015 66 times viewed

    A Deutsche Bank report said that India, which has raised its solar power capacity target five-fold, could see annual investments in solar surpassing those in coal by 2019-20 with commitments worth about USD 35 billion from global companies already in hand.

    The report released on Sunday said that with its increased focus on solar power, India could become one of the largest renewable energy producers in the world, matching China’s target of 100 GW or 100,000 MW capacity by 2020.

    India has raised its 2022 solar energy target to 100 GW from 20 GW as part of Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance government's efforts to lower dependence on coal-fuelled electricity. The country needs to invest about USD 200 billion to meet this target and to set up around 60,000 MW of wind power capacity by 2022.

    Global companies, including the US renewable energy firm SunEdison Inc, Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank Corp, Taiwan’s Foxconn Technology, and China’s photovoltaic module maker Trina Solar Ltd, have announced multi-billion dollar investments in Indian companies to set up solar power projects.

    Russia’s OAO Rosneft, the world’s largest publicly-traded oil company, is exploring a huge investment in India’s solar energy sector with capacity ranging between 10,000 MW to 20,000 MW, Mint reported last week.

    Indian power companies such as Adani Power Limited, Reliance Power Limited and State-run NTPC Limited have already made inroads with their solar energy projects. Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd has also announced plans to bid for solar power projects.

    Mr Abhishek Puri, analyst at Deutsche Bank, wrote in his report that “Private sector interest is decisively moving towards solar from coal power, and we foresee numerous opportunities of fund-raising, yieldco structuring and M&A activity.”

    Falling tariffs would also help in aiding growth of solar power adoption. Tariffs have dropped about 60% over last 4 years, from INR 14.90 per KWh in 2010 to almost INR 5.75 per kWh in 2015, rivaling with prices of conventional power sources.

    India’s per capita electricity consumption reached 1010 KWh in 2014-15, compared with 957 KWh in 2013-14, according to the Central Electricity Authority, but continues to among the lowest in the world with several households in the interiors of the country having little or no access to electricity.

    India plans to award solar contracts for the supply of 15,000 MW this year. In 2014-15, the cumulative solar power capacity in India was about 3,744 MW, accounting for about 10.5% of the total renewable energy generated in the country.

    'Spanje haalt energiedoelstellingen voor 2020 niet'
    Vandaag, 06:46

    Correspondent Spanje en Portugal

    De zon is fel vandaag. Misschien een beetje té fel. Want voor een optimale werking van zonnepanelen is de goede temperatuur ook belangrijk. Maar ze doen hun best. Rijen panelen, meters hoog, staan hier opgesteld, in een groot veld in Cieza in het zuiden van Spanje.

    Tussen de panelen door schuifelt Josep Martí. Hij wijst een rij aan. “Deze zijn van mij.” Ze leveren zo’n 76.000 kilowatt per jaar op, energie voor zo’n vijftien huishoudens. Hij was één van de mensen zich jaren geleden door de Spaanse regering lieten verleiden een investering te doen. Hij stak er 30.000 euro eigen geld in en leende 260.000 euro. Dat zou hij met de gunstige terugleververgoeding die werd beloofd, binnen een paar jaar hebben terugverdiend.

    Maar in 2010 besloot de toenmalige sociaal-democratische regering dat die vergoeding naar beneden moest vanwege de crisis. Een tijdelijke maatregel. Maar onder de huidige regering van de Partido Popular werd de vergoeding voorgoed verlaagd met 35 procent.

    Zelfmoord

    Tienduizenden investeerders klagen nu de staat aan. Het kantoor van de Nederlandse advocaat Piet Holtrop vertegenwoordigt er 2000. Sommige mensen moesten hun huis uit om de schulden te kunnen betalen, vertelt hij. Er waren zelfs mensen die uit wanhoop zelfmoord pleegden. Volgens de advocaat komt het allemaal door de grote energiebedrijven in Spanje die veel macht hebben en bang zijn dat hun winst in gevaar komt.

    Wat nog zorgelijker is, zegt energiedeskundige Jorge Morales, is dat Spanje zijn energiedoelstellingen voor 2020 op deze manier niet gaat halen. Het land was op de goede weg en heeft genoeg wind en zon. Maar nu 2020 dichterbij komt en het aantal installaties de afgelopen jaren door de maatregelen van de regering niet meer toenam, begon Spanje achter te lopen. Morales maakt een vergelijking. “Spanje heeft 1500 zonuren per jaar, Duitsland heeft er 1000. Toch loopt Duitsland ver voorop, met installaties die goed zijn voor 39.000 kilowatt. Spanje produceert slechts 4500.”

    Bananenrepubliek

    Als het zo doorgaat dan zal Spanje blijven steken op 16 procent duurzame energie, terwijl het land beloofde dat in 2020 20% van alle energie duurzaam opgewekt zou worden. “Deze regering stopte de aanbouw van nieuwe installaties en negeerde de sector in de afgelopen jaren. Het is de meest ‘anti-duurzame’ regering die ik hier heb meegemaakt,” zegt Morales. Hij noemt het een schande, dat een land dat leeft van het toerisme niet zuinig is op zijn land, water en schone lucht.

    Josep moet nu ieder jaar zo’n acht- tot tienduizend euro uit zijn pensioenpotje bijleggen om de bank te kunnen betalen. Hij zou de investering niet opnieuw doen. “Ik dacht, de kans dat de zon verdwijnt is klein. De kans dat de installaties stuk gaan is groter, maar daar kan ik me tegen verzekeren.” Maar dat de regering halverwege de regels zou veranderen had hij niet verwacht. “Ik dacht dat we in een serieus land leefden, maar we zijn er erger aan toe dan een bananenrepubliek.”

    Colton-Pierrepont agrees to join solar power consortium


    Watertown Daily Times reported that the Colton-Pierrepont Central School District has gone on record expressing its interest in joining a solar power consortium headed up by the Jefferson-Lewis BOCES and is closing in on making a final decision on whether to join the town of Colton on a joint effort to establish a solar power operation in the community.

    School officials said that Jefferson-Lewis BOCES needs letters of support from school districts around the region that are interested in joining the consortium before the project can move forward. They also noted their work with the town of Colton and the Camden Group means they are a step up on many of the other entities that will be joining the consortium.

    School board member Mr Jeff J Angleberger said that joining the consortium, potentially encompassing many of the school districts in the north country, could help mitigate some of the risks involving in signing a 20 year contract with a private firm to construct a solar power system.

    Mr Angleberger said the current contract the Camden Group has on the table is fiscally beneficial for the school district. The power generated by the solar array and then sold to National Grid would likely translate into a savings of more than USD 10,000 per year for the school district, 20% of the district’s annual bill for electric costs.

    The school board member pointed out the current political climate seeking to push alternative energy sources means National Grid is required to pay a specific rate to solar customers. He said that the current rate would benefit Colton-Pierrepont if it joined the system but he cautioned the political climate could change in the future and National Grid might no longer be tied to the current rate.

    Mr Angleberger said that “I still have concerns about the risk. There’s a risk involved. And if the school board is going to take a risk on for 20 years, we want to make sure that we have our hands completely around it. We, as a school board, have to make a decision that will lock us into something for 20 years. It could all be peaches, cream, balloons.”

    He said that joining the consortium would help mitigate some of that risk.

    He said that “The consortium takes a lot of the downsides that I saw us doing it individually out. You have a larger vocal capability if they want to change the rules.”

    Mr Angleberger said that “There are many, many users in the consortium. It’s not just little old Colton. If we did this, it would be the least amount of risk. It also means our school would not have to manage the PPA.”

    Town and school district officials listened in December to a pitch for the project that promoters say could result in over USD 750,000 in savings for the two entities over the next 3 decades.

    The bulk of the 225 KW solar photovoltaic array work would be conducted by the Camden Group and RER Energy Group. The panels would be installed at the town’s transfer station and old landfill site.

    Solar energy companies slam UK government funding cuts

    Proactive Investors reported that solar energy companies have hit out at a government move to slash subsidies, saying it could spell disaster for the industry.

    Good Energy and the Solar Trade Association said that the decision to change the renewables obligation and feed-in tariffs may damage investor confidence.

    They also said that it could force schools, householders and businesses to abandon solar and return to traditional energy utilities.

    The Department of Energy & Climate Change plans to end the RO for rooftop and solar farm projects of up to 5 MW early, from April next year.

    It plans to reduce support for projects in development and to stop guaranteeing a certain level of subsidy for the lifetime of a solar farm once built.

    Ministers also plan to remove ‘pre-accreditation’ to fixed-level feed-in tariffs. The industry said that this may mean complex community and commercial projects that take longer to complete would face constantly reducing tariffs between the start and finish of the project.

    Mr Amber Rudd, Energy & Climate Change Secretary, said that "My priorities are clear. We need to keep bills as low as possible for hardworking families and businesses while reducing our emissions in the most cost-effective way."

    But the industry said that solar energy makes up a very small part of RO funding and reduces wholesale prices by displacing high-cost, gas-fired power generation.

    Good Energy owns 6 UK solar farms and supports more than 90,000 householders who generate solar energy.

    Chief executive Mr Juliet Davenport said that "Ending support for solar power makes no sense at all. On one hand the government says it wants to keep household energy bills down by removing support for clean solar power, yet on the other promises massive subsidies to nuclear. We’re also worried about the knock-on effect this could have on innovation in the battery storage market, which is led by solar. Stifling support could bring an end to a truly game-changing technology which would enable households to store their own electricity.”

    Mr Leonie Greene, spokeswoman of STA, said that "This is damaging for big solar rooftops as well as solar farms, both very cost-effective ways of generating solar power. This contrasts with repeated commitments from Government to boost the commercial solar rooftop market. We're hearing a lot of big figures from Government, but they should know it is just a few quid more on energy bills to deliver nothing less than a solar power revolution in the UK. We think the British public would support that. We're very close, but we're not there yet. Support for solar under the RO costs just GBP 3 per year on each household bill, and solar on makes up only 6% of the RO budget."

    China starts works on largest 200 MW Solar Power Plant

    PrePsure reported that China on July 22nd 2015 started building its largest 200 MW Solar Power Plant in Qinghai Province. The solar power plant will be spread over 2550 hectares in the Gobi desert. The plant will also be China’s first large-scale solar power plant under commercial operation. The plant is located 2870 meters above sea level on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Golmud has particularly favorable conditions for the developing new energy industry.

    China has been focusing on increasing its proportion of clean energy. By 2014, the country’s solar power capacity was 28.05 GW, 400 times more than 2005, and there are plans to increase this to around 100 GW by 2020. The solar power tower system boasts higher efficiency and better energy storage than the more commonly used trough system.

    India is also constructing the world’s largest 750 MW solar power plant in Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh. India’s Solar Power Plant is much bigger than America’s 550 MW Desert Sunlight solar project in California. The plant will be spread over 1500 hectares of land for INR 4000 crore. The expected cost of power production is pegged at INR 5 per unit which would be lower than production costs in any solar project in the country, including the one at Neemuch in MP and Mehsana and Patan in Gujarat.

    Renewable power subsidies to be cut back - Report

    FT reported that ministers have unveiled plans to slash green energy subsidies, prompting industry complaints that the government is sending Britain back to a 'dark age' of fossil fuel reliance.

    Smaller solar panel projects and wood chip power generators have been targeted in the latest moves to rein in rising costs of renewable energy support.

    Mr Amber Rudd, energy and climate change secretary, as she announced the changes, said that “We can’t have a situation where industry has a blank cheque and that cheque is paid for by people’s bills.”

    Her department will consult on plans to end subsidies for solar farms of up to 5 MW in generating capacity a year earlier than planned and cut back support for certain biomass generators immediately.

    Mr Richard Kirkman, UK technical director of Veolia, the French waste and water company, said that “That amounts to an abrupt set back for renewable investors, just months before a crucial climate change conference in Paris.”

    He said that “We appear to be entering another dark age where we will return to total fossil fuel reliance, power cuts [and] low confidence in UK investment.”

    But officials in the energy department said the action had to be taken to limit spiralling costs of subsidies that are largely paid for by consumers through their energy bills. A cap on the total amount available was supposed to reach GBP 7.6 billion by 2020-2021.

    But officials said that they discovered this year that so many wind and solar projects were being built that the cap was likely to reach GBP 9.1bn instead, so action was needed to prevent higher costs.

    Mr John Musk, RBC Capital Markets analyst, said that the move was unlikely to have a significant impact on big, publicly listed renewables companies.

    He said that “However, they are negative for sentiment and investors need to be aware that the Conservative mantra for DECC in the current parliament is to ‘reduce energy bills for hard-working families and businesses’.”

    Reinier Bouman (56) verdiende eind 2004 euro100 mln aan de verkoop van Marktplaats.nl. Hij is sindsdien onder meer investeerder in zonne-energie. Vandaag spreekt hij op de grote Rotterdamse zonne-energieconferentie The Solar Future.

    Hoe zien uw investeringen in zonne-energie eruit?

    'Ik ben medio 2006 in Madrid met een bedrijf begonnen, Ra Solar, waarmee ik voor euro 70 mln investeer in Spaanse zonne-energiecentrales: goed voor 11 megawatt aan energie, waarvan 5,4 megawatt in eigen beheer. Het is grotendeels bancair gefinancierd, via Triodos Bank, maar ik ben enig aandeelhouder. Het rendement ligt gemiddeld op zo'n 18%, afhankelijk van de rentestand.'

    Waarom in Spanje?

    'Behalve de vele zonne-uren is een Spaanse overheidsmaatregel een belangrijke reden. Die zorgt voor een totaal van 800 megawatt voor een bijna gegarandeerde afnameprijs. Die regeling was al snel overschreven en daarna kwam er een nieuwe, zij het onder minder gunstige voorwaarden.'

    Waarom hebt u voor deze sector gekozen?

    'Ik investeer sinds de verkoop van Marktplaats alleen in zaken die de wereld de goede kant op duwen. Maar de markt voor zonne-energie is nog niet volwassen. De opbrengsten kunnen hoger, de prijzen van panelen lager. Ook zijn de kosten van de opwarming van de aarde nu niet doorberekend in de olie- en gasprijs.'

    Punjab to generate 2,000 MW solar power

    Punjab got a thumbs-up from solar power project developers, including representatives of a French solar company, for emerging into a major solar power generating state. Buoyed by industry response, the state is now looking at generating 2,000 MW of solar power by 2016-17.

    The Go Solar Punjab summit got off to a good start today, with top representatives of major solar power companies attending the event. Mr Anuj Punj from Punj Llyod Infrastructure, Mr Rajkumar Roy from Lanco Solar, Mr Gaurav Sood, MD of French company Solairedirect, Mr SS Chadha from Radha Soami Satsang Beas (which has set up the largest rooftop solar plant), Mr Preet Sandhu from Azure Power, Mr TR Kishore Nayar from Welspun and Mr KS Popli, MD of Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA), were amongst the solar industry big wigs to have graced the occasion.

    With Punjab having successfully taken its solar power generation from 9 MW in 2012 to 210 MW now and targeting to reach 541 MW by March 2016, the industry big wigs who had gathered here, showered praises on the state government’s policy for clearing projects and acting proactively to provide land for setting up the solar power projects. The developers said that their projects had been cleared within minimum possible time and praised the transparency in the working of the Investment Promotion Department.

    Speaking on the occasion, Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy CM of Punjab, announced Punjab would encourage farmers to establish mini solar plants on their own land, while he announced that the state government was open to subsidising the installation of solar plants for fuelling the 1.25 lakh tube wells which have just been given a go ahead by National Green Tribunal.

    He said that “We can divert money being given to PSPCL as subsidy for free power for agricultural operations for installation of these pumps. This will reduce the burden on thermal power and also reduce the free power subsidy quotient in the long run.”

    Japan's foreign aid arm plans to finance India solar power parks


    Japan’s foreign aid arm Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) plans to fund solar power parks in the country, giving a fillip to India’s green energy plan.

    To start with, Jica is ready to invest USD 500 million in the proposed solar parks. Other institutions such as Germany-based KfW Bankengruppe and World Bank also want to invest in solar parks.

    Of the total 100,000 MW of solar power capacity planned by 2022, 20,000 MW will come from solar parks and 40,000MW each from roof-top and distributed generation projects.

    The government plans to set up 25 solar power parks.

    A senior Indian government official requesting anonymity said that “Apart from providing funds to our solar programmes such as roof-top projects, multilateral financial institutions such as KfW, World Bank and Jica are very keen on funding solar parks. We will be raising USD 500 million from Jica for the same.”

    KfW is already involved in India’s clean energy sector through its commitment to lend €1 billion for green energy transmission corridors. Jica disbursed 162.2 billion yen in official development assistance loans to India in 2014-15. The amount disbursed is the highest among countries where Jica extends such assistance.

    Mint reported on 30 March about the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in talks with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for two loans of USD 500 million each for solar parks and roof-top projects.

    Explaining the rationale behind such overseas institutions’ interest in financing solar parks, the government official quoted above said that “The largest solar park in the world is of 550MW. In comparison, some of our parks are in the range of 1,500MW. Look at the scale. We are looking, at the least, at five such parks of 1,000MW each.”

    Foreign loans are cheaper than those offered by local banks and financial institutions. However, even though the interest costs of foreign loans are lower, project developers have to hedge their foreign currency exposure.

    Analysts believe that India’s green energy plans have found global traction. Deutsche Bank AG wrote in a 19 July report that “The government has identified 13 solar parks in 15 states. Annual investments in solar could surpass investment in coal by 2019-20, with USD 35 billion committed by global players.”
