Bridge to India - India Solar Compass

There are high hopes for the solar energy market in India. On a macro level, it makes great sense: The country is power deficient for years to come, the grid does not extend to every consumer and there is plenty of sunshine and land. Consequently, the government has very ambitious plans for scaling up capacity. The devil, of course, is in the details. So far actual installations are few. At the end of 2010, India had an installed capacity of only 24 MW of grid-connected PV and no CSP. However, in 2011 the market is ready to take off. A large number of projects are under construction and many more are planned.

The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), the policies of Gujarat and other states and emerging captive models are driving interest and investment. The recently concluded tariff auction under the JNNSM has led to very competitive tariffs on both the PV and CSP side.

These are the result of cost innovation, optimistic risk assessments, strategic choices and smart financial engineering. If the new projects will perform, they will break the ground for much larger growth to come. If not, investor enthusiasm may be dampened for years to come.

• Are the new tariffs viable?
• Will projects be bankable?
• What factors are companies leveraging to be profitable at low tariffs?
