Renewable Energy

The National Open Access Registry (NOAR) became live on May 1, 2022, after a successful test period.  NOAR is an initiative of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and the necessary regulatory framework has been notified by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) through the operationalization of the 5th Amendment Regulation on Open Access in Inter-State Transmission.

For the purpose of electronic processing of short-term open access applications, NOAR has been designed as an integrated single window electronic platform that is accessible to all stakeholders including open access participants, traders, power exchanges, national/regional/state load despatch centres. This platform will automate the administration of short-term open access in the interstate transmission system, which will benefit all stakeholders.

Power System Operation Corporation Limited (POSOCO), which operates the National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC), has been selected as the nodal agency for the implementation and operation of NOAR.

As a repository for information pertaining to short-term open access in interstate transmission, including standing clearance issued by RLDCs or SLDCs, and short-term open access granted to open access customers, among other things, the NOAR platform will be made available to stakeholders online. The provision of a payment gateway that is integrated with NOAR and used for the purpose of processing payments will make financial accounting and tracking of short-term open access transactions easier.

NOAR would be the key to facilitating speedier power markets and enabling the integration of renewable energy (RE) supplies into the grid, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. NOAR will allow open access to consumers to participate in the market in a seamless manner, providing them with easier and faster access to the short-term energy market, which accounts for around 10% of total demand in India.

TEDA to Install Solar System to Generate 10 MW Power on Government Office Rooftops

Green Energy

The Tamil Nadu Energy Development Authority (TEDA) plans to put solar panels on the rooftops of government buildings in order to generate 10 MW of power. Solar panels at TEDA cost Rs 45,000 per kilowatt and generate 5 units of power, according to the organization’s officials.

More than 330 institutions in the state have solar panels thanks to the TEDA’s work. 1.5 MW is its total installed capacity. The project is expected to cost Rs. 50 crore when completed. The tendering procedure will be completed by May.

Some government departments are reluctant to put solar panels on roofs because of a shortage of funding, according to the authority’s request to the government. These divisions should be supported by the federal government. Proposals to put solar panels on the rooftops of government buildings have already been filed to the administration.

Senior TEDA official told us that surplus electricity can be connected to the common power system and subsidies for solar power can be employed. Taking a political choice and coordinating with other agencies and authorities is essential.

Solar energy and other renewable sources are supported by the government, according to Tamil Nadu’s electricity minister Senthil Balaji, who spoke to media. The power department is now undertaking a thorough investigation and due diligence on the production of electricity and the connection of surplus electricity to the common grid. In the next days, we will review all of the information and make a policy decision.

1 MW Solar Power Gets Completed In Indonesia By Alam Nix Renewables & Shizen Energy Group!

An approximately of 1MW solar power plant has been set up in Indonesia by ventures of Shizen Energy Group (Shizen Inc) and Alam Nix Renewables Pte.. Limited (ANR).

The completion ceremony was held in Indonesia on April 19th 2022 and was attended by the Deputy Ambassador of Embassy of Switzerland Mr. Philip Strub, Vice Minister of Embassy of Japan in Indonesia Mr. Masami Tamura and other honorable guests.

Shizen Energy and ANR have mutually collaborated and established PT ATW Alam Hijau (AAH). It is a local subsidiary and has been installed in collaboration with the ATW Group. ATW Group is responsible for handling in the sales department of the solar power plant generation resources equipment and the development and construction of solar power plants. With its effective operation in the field, AAH aims to develop and expand the solar power plant generation business in Indonesia.

This solar power plant is established on the land lying adjacent to the PT. Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari’s (APL) distribution facility in Cikarang, West Java and is installed by AAH. In addition to this, another company of APL, which is a group company of Swiss health care corporation Zuellig Pharma, has also a prime logistics facility in Cikarang which is in the industrial park and is responsible to distribute the resources and materials. However, it shall also be noted that the electricity generated through this solar power plant shall be utilized and consumed by the APL.

In an official statement on the same Christophe Piganiol, President Director of APL, said that, “APL plays an active role in prioritizing the value of sustainability in business. APL will continue to collaborate with strategic parties to achieve ambition in our sustainability mission with other initiatives.”

Also from another press release issued from APL, it stated that, “With the spirit to provide the best for future generations, APL strives to develop sustainability pillars. With addition to this, it is further added that Cikarang NDC facility, APL is also preparing for the successful installation of solar power panels for APL Medan and it is all targeted to get finalized and be completed by the year 2022. With these green earth measures and also through other Sustainability programs by APL, it is hoping that APL can bring in a significant and positive impact on the environment.”

With an aim to work for better earth, APL is aiming to reduce the major electricity costs by using the cost –competitive and clean renewable energy without making initial investments. In addition to this, it will further work by switching some percent of its electricity consumption to sustainable renewable energy sources. Also, the APL is aiming to contribute to the effective reduction and consumption of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in all its business activities and further similar uses. However, this whole solar panel power project is expected to produce an approx of 1,089MWh of power per year and also effectively reduce the GHG emissions by an approx of 669t-CO2 per year. Also, it shall also be noted that, the Indonesian government has further declared that from now on, the country will work to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, and this solar project can also be an aid and contributing factor in order to achieve this goal sustainably.
