Renewable Sector

Our monthly market intelligence report on renewables gives complete update on all areas of solar and wind sector primarily. This will be a useful guide for equipment suppliers, developers as well as investors to keep abreast with the latest updates in the sector and make informed decisions.

This report anticipates that by December 2022 there will be a shortfall of 25GW from the 40GW rooftop solar target, and 1.8GW from the 60GW utility-scale solar target, indicating the need for a concerted effort towards expanding rooftop solar. On the current trajectory, India’s solar target of 300GW by 2030 will be off the mark by about 86GW.

The objective of this report is to study in detail annual trends across the Indian solar sector. The report covers state wise installations trends, tender updates, annual market share trends of project developers and equipment suppliers.

New restrictions on banking of power will inhibit the growth of the rooftop and open-access solar market, and potentially slow progress towards India’s national target of 450 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable capacity by 2030, according to a new briefing note by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) and JMK Research.

This report examines key tender conditions applicable to the RTC-1 and 2 tenders and briefly evaluates their impact on the relevant projects and stakeholders (discoms and developers), while also analysing the tenders’ alignment with the intrinsic demand-based approach of the RTC mode of power supply.

MSMEs could play an important role in achieving India’s ambitions of large-scale uptake of rooftop solar if accessible financing options were made more readily available to them. Since 2015, rooftop solar project developers have raised more than US$2 billion, 48% (US$985 million) of which came from equity funding and 29% (US$599 million) from debt. Around 45% of these investments was raised in the first eight months of 2021 alone. The report outlines recommendations for stakeholders and policymakers to make rooftop solar a more viable and attractive option to MSME customers..

India’s experience with the rise in rooftop solar or onsite solar has been led by the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment. This segment comprises about three-quarters of the Indian rooftop solar market. Although the COVID pandemic created major disruptions and slowed the installation rate in 2020, the C&I segment is expected to bounce back and increase the pace of deployment of solar installations. This is because amidst the pandemic-induced challenges, it has become more of a necessity for the C&I sector to optimise costs. This can be achieved by adopting various new innovative technological rooftop solar solutions.

According to a new briefing note from IEEFA and JMK Research & Analytics that says a provision in the Ministry of Power’s new rules for electricity consumers which mandates net metering for rooftop solar projects up to 10kW and gross metering for systems with loads above 10kW will likely make rooftop solar commercially unviable for big residential and commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers

For our client WBCSD, as part of their Indian Corporate Renewable PPA Forum, JMK Research has prepared a Market & Policy update for 2020.

In a new report from JMK Research and Climate Trends, an economic viability analysis reveals that renewable energy along with battery storage in Tamil Nadu is cost competitive with new coal power plants. The report finds the levelized cost of energy for a hypothetical hybrid renewable battery storage system for the state to be Rs. 4.97/kWh in 2021, which falls to Rs. 3.4/kWh by 2030

In a new report from JMK Research and IEEFA, various critical parameters like policy, cost, R&D expenditure, technology adoption, are analyzed in detail between India and China to assess the viability of new module PV manufacturing facilities in India.

In a new report from JMK Research and IEEFA, various critical parameters are analysed that could have led to historic low solar tariff of Rs 2/ kWh in India

In a new report from JMK Research & Analytics and IEEFA, we have analysed in detail national and state policies and regulatory developments, tender activity, key players in the market, upcoming capacity addition, tariff analysis and the risks and challenges associated with this technology.

In a new report from JMK Research & Analytics and the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), a detailed analysis is done to analyse why the Gulf region has the cheapest solar tariffs in the world. To understand how the Gulf region is achieving such low tariffs, and whether those tariffs can be achieved in other countries, we developed a financial model as a basis for comparison.
