India Discusses Energy Transition Opportunities with UAE

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, the Climate Envoy for the UAE and Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology for the UAE, made a recent trip to New Delhi, where he met with Bhupender Yadav, the Union Environment Minister for India. Several meetings have been organized by the governments of the UAE and India, along with industry leaders, to examine the potential for energy transformation and also the expansion of industrial activity.

The topics of climate change, hosting COP 28, and other related topics were discussed between the two ministers. The two ministers had already signed a climate action agreement before this meeting that they were attending. The climate change initiative, the implementation of the Paris agreement, and the public-private partnership in renewable energy was some other important topic of discussion. They also talked about green hydrogen and other initiatives that are all part of the bilateral collaboration.

The Minister from the UAE also met with the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, as well as the Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and India will continue to investigate methods to expand their collaboration on climate change.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has aspirations to have low and zero-carbon energy capabilities, which correspond with India’s plans to have 450 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity for renewable energy by the year 2030.

Bids Open for 75 MW Solar projects in Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) has invited bids to develop 75 MW of projects at the UP Solar Park for which May 31, 2022, is the deadline for submitting proposals.

To implement the solar park, Lucknow Solar Power Development Corporation is responsible. The project will be at Makrecha village (25 MW), Banghauli (20 MW), and Tikar 1 & Tikar 2 (30 MW) in Uttar Pradesh’s Jalaun district.

As an earnest money deposit, bidders will be required to pay 800,000. The selected bidder will be required to provide 1.05 million ($13,536)/MW within 30 days of the letter of intent or signature of the PPA, whichever occurs first. For 25 years, the tender’s ceiling tariff has been fixed at 3 ($0.04)/kWh. Minimizing technological risk and completing projects on schedule need only commercially proven and operational technologies.

For a period of 25 years, Uttar Pradesh Electricity Corporation would directly buy power produced by these chosen 75 MW solar projects under a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the distribution firms (DISCOMs).

It is important for the solar developer to provide the yearly capacity utilization factor (CUF) in their answer to a request for selection (RfS). Within the first year of commercial operation, the developer has the option of revising the yearly CUF. Finally, CUFs should be constant over PPA’s whole period. At a minimum, the disclosed yearly CUF should be 17 percent of the total budget.

The developer must generate yearly CUF between 10% and 15% of the declared value for ten years following the commercial operation. After 25 years, the CUF should be at least 15%, with a range of 10% to 20%. So, while crafting their answers to the RfS, bidders should take in mind the MNRE’s decision to impose a BCD on solar cells and modules.

There is no limit on how much a business or consortium may contribute to the RfS, as long as it has enough money to fulfill the required equity investment and performance bank guarantees. The bidder’s net worth should be at least $7 million ($90,244)/MW.

Interested firms were invited to submit proposals for 200 MW solar projects in September. The Uttar Pradesh Solar Park will include three projects totaling 150MW in Jalaun and Kanpur Dehat (totaling 50MW). Agribusiness firm Bundelkhand Saur Urja has shown interest in developing grid-connected solar plants in Jalaun, UP.

SJVN Awards 1,000 MW Solar EPC Contract to Tata Power Solar

Green Urja Conclave

Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd. has been awarded a Letter of Award (Letter of Award) by SJVN for the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 1,000 MW solar project in Bikaner, according to Nand Lal Sharma (the Chairman and Managing Director of SJVN). According to Sharma, this is the biggest solar EPC deal in India’s history.

To develop a 1,000 MW solar power plant in Bikaner, Rajasthan, state-run SJVN Ltd selected Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd. The overall cost of building and development of the project was Rs 5,491.89 crore.

First-year output will be 2,454.55 million units, and over the course of 25 years, it will total 56,838.32 million units. Over the course of 25 years, this project will cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 27,85,077 tonnes. By May 2024, the project will be operational.

The recent purchase of solar projects has enabled SJVN’s Shared goal of 5000 MW in 2023, 25000MW in 2030, and 50000MW in 2040. There is an EPC contract that includes the whole delivery of the commissioned SJVN solar power plant, including the arrangement of a site, the power evacuation system to ISTS Substation, and three years of solar PV plant operations/maintenance. India’s aim of 500GW non-fossil fuel energy capacity and a decrease in overall carbon emissions by one million tonnes by 2030 will be met with this project.

According to the CPSE Scheme (central government sector enterprise), SJVN was awarded the 1,000 MW solar power project after a competitive bidding procedure.

SJVN’s portfolio is continually being expanded to include more capacity. Currently, SJVN has over 31,000 MW of power plants. Hydro, thermal wind, solar, and solar are all used by the SJVN to produce electricity. As a result, it has also branched out into the transmission and trading of electricity.

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.
