From Management‘s Desk
February was an eventful month for the Renewable Energy industry with RE
-INVEST, the budget, and an important report released by the World Bank.
The key question after looking at these three events is – is the ambitious
target of 170GW on RE capacity by 2022 an achievable one? Our main arti-
cle tries to answer this question. A key finding is that the Discom’s ability to
be the buyer for such large capacity – with unsustainable losses and debt –
is doubtful. At the same time, efforts to build a market for power in the
country have largely failed. Without filling this key gap, 170GW is a huge
ask.
RECs trading improved in February, given a slightly improved enforcement
scenario, impeding changes in the Electricity Act, and most importantly be-
cause we are close to the financial year end. Trading volumes in February
were the highest ever, though with such a large inventory, this fact de-
serves only a small cheer.
Many states have been coming out with net-metering policies (see last
months newsletter for a detailed analysis). This month UP and Maharashtra
were added to the list. Another important development was the announce-
ment of Tamil Nadu’s average pooled price. Brief analysis is included in the
Regulatory update section.
We hope this volume to be an insightful read, and as always, look forward
to your feedback.

Renewable Energy - Will 170GW happen?
February was an eventful month for Renewable Energy
sector……first there was RE-INVEST, then the Budget, and
in between came a report from the World Bank that did
not get the attention it deserved. In this article, we have
attempted to summarize the immediate future of renewa-
ble energy in India, as seen from the perspective of these
events.
RE-INVEST was inaugurated by the PM Narendra Modi,
and saw a huge attendance from across the country and
from abroad. The target of 100 GW of solar and 70 GW of
other renewable energy generation capacity by 2022 was
the talk of the event. However, if the solar capacity needs
to grow from the current 3GW to 100GW, it will require a
55% growth every year for the next 8 years. Our impres-
sion from attending RE-INVEST was that while the target
and enthusiasm is there – there’s no specific plan to get to
the target.
There were huge expectations from the Budget in general
– many people expected it to bring in “big bang reforms”.
From a renewable energy perspective, the expectations
were modest. However, even that was not met – the 170
GW target was mentioned by the Finance Minister (FM) –
but it was only mentioned – it was not followed by any
specific allocation or action. The FM increased the cess on
coal to Rs 200/ tonne – this will go to fund the National
Clean Energy Fund (NCEF). However, there is no clear link-
age between the funds in NCEF and the renewable energy
industry. In fact, a significant portion is likely to be allocat-
ed towards the “Clean Ganga” program (Article in Times of
India – “Coal cess to fuel Ganga rejuvenation plan” dated
June 13, 2014).
In the meantime, the World Bank released a report titled,
“More Power to India: The Challenge of Electricity Distri-
bution”.
The report makes for sobering reading. While the report
commends the achievements till date, it emphasis that
losses and indebtedness at the Discom level are reaching
worrying levels.
According to the report, sector-wide accumulated losses
were Rs 1,14,600 crore ($25 billion) in 2011. Distribution
companies contributed 81% of this, and have been by-
far the worst performers within the overall electricity sec-
tor.
Sector losses (excluding subsidies) in 2011 amounted to
Rs 61,800 crore, or 17% of India’s gross fiscal deficit.
Another area of worry is the level of debt that the distri-
bution utilities have taken. Of the total debt of Rs 3.5
trillion, the largest growth has been in the distribution
segment. Further, the report states:
“Worryingly, the tenor of the debt profile has
changed. Many discoms have recently relied on short-
term loans to meet operating expenses….”
Distribution utilities are now significantly leveraged. In
some states, it has already reached unsustainable pro-
portions – for example, debt of utilities in UP is a whop-
ping 43% of state GDP. The report highlights that there
is a real risk of “financial contagion” due to such high
levels of leverage.
Graphs on the next page will help understand the finan-
cial state of the sector and its utilities.

To conclude, a few things stand out – First, the Discom’s – with
significant losses and debt – will be unable to afford such a sig-
nificant increase in renewable energy generation. Already, in
many states payment to RE generators are delayed by more
than six months.
Second, there is no market-based mechanism today to absorb
large RE capacities. The “open access” mechanism, and the REC/
RPO market were supposed to bring market-based reforms in
the sector. However, as things stand today, both have been a
failure. The WB report states:
“In fact, open access, a key enabler of competition under the
EA, has still not been implemented in a manner such that a ro-
bust merchant market could compensate for a decline in sales
to state discoms and thus balance supply and demand”.
With Discom’s in bad shape, and no functioning “market” for
electricity in the country, investment required to build 170GW
capacity is unlikely to materialize.

Analysis of draft net-metering regulations of
Maharashtra
Maharashtra recently released the draft Net-metering
regulations.
In our opinion, these regulations are unlikely to enable
large scale development of roof-top solar projects in the
state. This is because several best-practices observed in
the regulations of other states are missing for the draft
regulations of Maharashtra.
The draft regulations are silent on the applicability of
cross-subsidy and other open access charges. Other
states (eg. Rajasthan) exempt rooftop project from
such charges. A significant growth in roof-top projects
will come from projects developed by investors where
power is consumed by the host consumer. Without a
clear exemption, this model is unlikely to take off in
Maharashtra.
The draft regulations provide no clarity on the ability
of obligated entities to meet their solar RPO from
rooftop projects. Without a clear provision addressing
the same, obligated entities are unlikely to jump in.
The draft regulations require the Discom to purchase
only upto 10% of the total generation remaining un-
adjusted at the end of the year, and pay on the APPC
price on this. This may result in some power going
free to the Discom. However, during the year, extra
power generated will be allowed to be carried forward
without limits to the next month – this is a favorable
provision.
Rooftop projects will not be allowed to go under the
REC mechanism
The draft regulations can be accessed here. Comments
are invited till March 31, 2015.
UPERC Finalizes RE Tariff
The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission
(UPERC) in its order dated 22nd Jan 2015, has finalized y
the regulation for Captive & Renewable Energy Generat-
ing Plants. The UPERC has also finalized the tariff’s for
different RE sources of generation under this regulation.
The Commission earlier in November last year released a
draft seeking comment and suggestion from stake hold-
ers. The details of the tariffs finalized are given in the ta-
ble below:
More details on the tariff can be read here.
For Solar Energy the commission will take the capital
cost into consideration and will give the tariff every year
based on the capital cost variations.

TNERC Finalizes APPC for FY 14-15
Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) in
its latest notification dated 4th Feb 2015 has finalized
APPC for FY 14-15.
The definition of the APPC being followed by TNERC can
be read as: “Pooled cost of power purchase’ means the
weighted average pooled price at which the distribution
licensee has purchased the electricity including cost of self generation in the previous year from all the long-term
energy suppliers, but excluding those based on liquid fuel,
purchase from traders, short-term purchases and renewa-
ble energy sources subject to the maximum of 75% of the
preferential tariff fixed by the Commission to that catego-
ry / sub category of NCES generators”.
The APPC determined by TNERC for FY 14-15 is Rs. 3.38
per unit or 75% of the preferential tariff fixed by the Com-
mission to that category / sub category of NCES genera-
tors, whichever is less.
The APPC for FY 14-15 has increased by 8.6% compared
to APPC of FY 13-14. Given below is the APPC of previous
years, with % increase year on year:
The Order can be accessed here.
KERC Reduces Fuel Adjustment Charges (FAC)
The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC)
in its new order has reduced the Fuel Adjustment charge
(FAC) to zero for all distribution companies (ESCOM’s)
except MESCOM for the second quarter of the 2015 (i.e.
Jan to March 2015).
The commission in its order stated that “The Commission,
having recognized the decrease in fuel cost adjustment
charges for all the ESCOMs except MESCOM in the sec-
ond quarter of FY15 and the overall increase in power
purchase cost, decides to allow all the ESCOMs except
MESCOM to adjust the savings in FAC against the overall
increase in power purchase cost”.
In the case of MESCOM, the commission has decided to
allow collection of FAC to an extent of 1 paisa /unit dur-
ing the billing quarter January – March 2015. Hence no
FAC will collected from consumers of all ESCOM’s except
MESCOM separately during January – March, 2015.
The commission in its previous order had calculated 1pai-
sa/unit as FAC, which has now been reduced to zero for
other ESCOM’s of Karnataka except MESCOM.
The order can be accessed here.
UPERC Notifies Draft Solar Rooftop Regulation
Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC)
in its latest notification has presented draft for solar
rooftop and net metering regulation. The regulation has
been named as UPERC (Rooftop Solar PV Grid Interactive
System Gross / Net Metering) Regulations, 2015. The reg-
ulation come will in force from the date of notification in
the official gazette.
The regulation will apply to the distribution licensee and
consumers of the licensee. The eligible consumer can in-
stall rooftop solar systems under gross metering or net
metering scheme. The consumers claiming accelerated
depreciation (AD) benefits on rooftop solar systems will
only be eligible for net metering scheme and not gross
metering.
The maximum peak capacity of the grid connected roof-
top solar system to be installed by any eligible consumer
shall not exceed 90% of the contract demand of the con-
sumer.
Basic Difference Between Gross Metering and Net
Metering schemes: If the consumer installs solar rooftop
under the gross net metering scheme he will have to in-
ject entire power generated into the grid, while in the

Tariff
RPO Target
The Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission
(MPERC) on 30th Jan 2015, has proposed new Renewable
Purchase Obligation (RPO) target for FY 15-16. The com-
mission in its previous order dated 19th November 2010
had finalized RPO targets till FY 14-15. The amendment
proposes RPO target for FY 15-16, the details are in the
table below:
The MPERC in its previous order defined targets till FY 14-
15, which was same as proposed for the in the draft i.e.
total 7% RPO. The commission, through a public no-
tice, has invited comments and suggestion from stake
holders by 22ndFeb 2015.
The Draft can be accessed here.
Biogas Tariff
The commission in its order dated 5th Feb has declared
tariff for the biogas energy sources. This tariff order will
be applicable to all new biogas based power generation
projects in Madhya Pradesh commissioned on or after the
date of issue of this order for sale of electricity to the dis-
tribution licensee. The control period for this order will
start from the date of issue of this order and will end on
31.03.2018.
The levellized tariff determined by the commission for
new biogas projects will be Rs. 4.20 per unit for 20 years,
and the tariff for the existing biogas plant will be Rs. 3.40
per unit for 20 years from the date of commissioning. The
distribution licensee will deduct 2% of the energy injected
towards wheeling charges in terms of units.
The above determined tariffs shall apply to projects that
do not avail benefit of accelerated depreciation (AD),
which is 80%. For projects availing benefits of AD, the
above tariff shall be reduced by Rs. 0.10 per unit.
