India’s Largest Meet for the 3 Key Stakeholders in Solar PV Power Plants

400 delegates expected. The Whos Who of Solar EPCs and Developers Will be Here

EAI, India’s leading renewable energy support firm, is organizing a unique meet between EPCs and Developers of solar PV power plants. This is intended to be a facilitating/networking meet for these two key stakeholder segments, especially given that two states (AP and TN) will begin allotting utility scale SPV projects soon. And given that many states in India, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat & Kerala have announced ambitious rooftop plans.

The delegates, about 400 focussed industry professionals comprising project heads, top management and decision makers, will belong to both rooftop solar PV and grid connected solar PV segments.

The one day event will have a one hour presentation, two hour interactive discussion and a five-hour long, focussed networking session that will provide a rare opportunity for solar developers, EPCs, financial investors and other key solar sector stakeholders to interact with many important stakeholders in a professional setting. See details on the Networking Session below.

A 5 hour Detailed and Productive Networking Session During the 1st Meet

This will be held at Chennai, Mar 22, FRIDAY @ the Le Meridien Hotel, just 2 Kms from the Chennai airport

EAI coordinated the country’s three largest and most productive renewable energy conferences last year (RENERGY 2012 – 1300 delegates, REaction 2012 – 1500 delegates and Wind Power India 2012 – 800 delegates). EAI will ensure that the EPC-Developer-Financier Meet will become the most useful and productive meet for all the key stakeholders in this fast-growing industry. You will be able to interact and network with some of the most prominent EPCs, developers, equipment suppliers and financial investors in the country.

We expect over 400 delegates in all at the event – many prominent EPCs and developers, as well as from the panels/BoS suppliers, financing community, consulting firms, and certification companies. This will be the SINGLE LARGEST EPC-DEVELOPER MEET FOR SOLAR in India

• Will get to know critical insights on SPV power plant development from other developers and EPCs
• Understand the dos-and-donts while implementing solar power plants.
• Will also be able to network with many prominent EPCs at one place.

• For EPCs, this is an important opportunity to understand the key aspirations and concerns of the developer community.
• An excellent opportunity for them to build a good contact network with the developer community.

• The panel and BoS suppliers get to network with many prominent companies from their main customer segments – EPCs and power plant developers – all at one place, in just 6 hours.
• Meet prospective channel partners and marketing agents
• Understand the pain points and aspirations of developers and EPCs in the context of panels and BoS

Udayadittya Shome– Vice-President,Juwi Renewable Energy: 10 AM – 1030 AM

Working with a global leader in solar power plant development, Uday brings over 20 years of technical and commercial experience in all the aspects of solar PV power plants. Now, that’s critical experience few in the country have today.

Uday brings a unique confluence of critical expertise in the solar PV field – technical, commercial, certifications/approvals, business development and entrepreneurship.

Bihag Mehta- Manager – Renewable Advisory,SgurrEnergy:1030 AM – 11 AM

Sgurr Energy is a globally respected technical consultant for renewable energy projects. Bihag Mehta and his company bring forth an expertise that is critical for a nascent industry such as solar PV – technical validation and due diligence of all aspects of the solar PV power plants.

Sgurr Energy has assessed over 85 GW of renewable energy developments internationally. When you consider that the worldwide installation of renewable is only about 500 GW, that’s an awesome 20% of the total global installations. Sgurr’s clients include utilities, financiers, EPCs and developers. This diversity of client sectors enables them to provide perspectives based on all these critical sectors.

NavratanKatariya - AVP – Solar EPC,Sterling & Wilson:11 AM – 1130 AM

Working with one of the most respected names in the Indian EPC sector, Navratan has been one of the most sought after experts in the Indian solar sector, mainly for his first-hand knowledge of what works and what does not work for solar PV in India.

Sterling & Wilson is one of the most respected EPCs in India, and for a reason. They are quite selective about their projects, because of their commitment and focus on delivering very high quality – characteristics that are critical for an industry in its early stages.

This is the second such event organized by EAI. The first event, organized on Jan 22, was a big success with over 200 important stakeholders attending the event. The first event was a trial event put together in just seven days, to understand the needs of the stakeholders. The inputs and learning from the first event will be used fully for the second event, making it even more productive and powerful.

RENERGY 2012 turned out to be a fine success, and in the process, all of us at EAI learnt a whole lot.

Subsequently, EAI had conducted / coordinated three more large renewable energy events – REaction 2012, Wind Power India 2012 and RENERGY Coimbatore.

We had exceptional learnings from these events, especially the conference portions of these, which we are incorporating in RENERGY 2013.

With the above learnings, we have put together a rather productive schedule at RENERGY 2013 Conference.

I am more excited about what we plan to do for the conference. Having been a speaker at over 50 conferences in the last three years, you could say I have seen my share of the good and the bad. What we have done is to take all the good things we have seen, eliminate inefficiencies, and inject some creative and innovative ideas. The result, in my opinion, will be a truly productive and excitement filled three days for the expected 2000 delegates

Not just speaker sessions alone – the conference will be divided into three parts

1. Expert Panel Discussions & Interactions – Except for a few, we are doing away with presentations and instead having panel discussions and more time for Q&A.

2. Workshops – This, in my opinion, is the killer app. I have heard hundreds of delegates say that they wished to have more practical inputs from conferences. With this in mind, RENERGY 2013 will be the first event in the country that will have five detailed workshops – three on solar, one on biomass/biofuels and one on energy efficiency.

3. Customized Networking Sessions – The other common yearning for many delegates is that they need to have more interactions/networking with others. But conferences filled with speaker sessions can rarely accommodate long networking sessions. RENERGY 2013 has worked deliberately on the schedule with this mind, and we have now allocated three sessions (one each every day) exclusively for networking. We have conveniently scheduled the 2 hour networking sessions right after the lunch sessions, thus paving way for seamless networking during and after lunch. Further, we will have custom built modules during networking sessions to ensure that your networking can meet your needs of focused interactions and open discussions.

4. Research & Innovation – We have also seen significant interest shown by many participants to understand the latest trends and innovations in renewable energy and clean technology. With this in mind, we have designed an exclusive session for R&D and innovation that will showcase some exciting stuff being pioneered in renewable energy.

5. International Cleantech Collaboration – We have a separate session where collaboration partnerships between 20 different countries can be explored – especially USA, Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden),  Australia, Japan, China and Middle East.

The three days will be equally split among 1, 2 & 3, and the Research / Innovation theme will form a background during the entire three days, in addition to an exclusive session allotted to it.

I invite you to be delegate at the conference. I can promise that this will be unlike any other renewable energy conference you had attended – anywhere in the world.

Operation and Maintenance is one of the most critical requirements of successfully and profitably operating power projects. Good O&M practices have an impact on both technical and financial performance of the projects while improving the life of the project. Given the increasing cost of electricity and equity, it is important to extract maximum value from the installed solar power projects to yield maximum financial returns for the investors. Increased focus on good quality O&M of installed projects also reduces the occurrence of project breakdown and hence prevent potential losses to the investors.

For energy sources such as solar PV projets where there are no fuel costs, operation and maintenance plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency of power generation thus bringing down the cost per unit of electricity generated. With an ever improving technology and better IT practices in the industry, it is important to keep updated with the latest practices of operating and maintaining solar farms and projects in the country.

This conference is designed to specifically focus on the some of the key technical, financial and environmental issues of managing solar projects in the country. The event will see participation by India’s 100+ delegates & experts from across the globe.

AP Transco released details of the bids for the 1000 MW of solar power purchase in AP. I am presenting the first level data and analysis. More will follow. My special thanks to Niroj Mohanty of Core CarbonX for sending these over. (some good stuff also available at efficient carbon blog)

Some analysis done by our resident, self-proclaimed analytics expert Venugopal Sampathkumar

1. Total L1 Bid Capacity: 416 MW

.

2. Weighted Average L1 Bid Price: Rs 7.96/kWh

.

3. Average L1 Bidding capacity: 4.38 MW

.

4. Capacity Remaining at locations that have been offered by APTRANSCO: 289 MW (Evacuation Space available in these locations)

.

5. Locations from the above, where L1 price>Average L1 Bid price: The list below can hence be considered attractive Bid locations for L2/L3 guys as and when APTRANSCO calls for negotiations

6. Locations where L1 price<Average L1 Bid price: Attractive Bid locations

What can we thus expect to be the total capacity signed up?

It is a fair bet to assume all L1 will be signed up; beyond this, let’s say 80% of the guys in L2 but in locations where L1 is greater than average L1 sign up (and capacity is available) sign up, and 20% of L2 in locations with capacity but where L1 is less than average L1 sign up. We thus land up with the following expected capacity sign up

Over 416 (L1 Capacity) + 125 (80% of 156) + 27 (20% of 133) = 568 MW, say 570 MW anticipated to be signed up

.

RENERGY 2013 will take place at Chennai Trade Centre, May 9-11, 2013, and is organized by TEDA, part of the State Government of Tamil Nadu.

RENERGY 2012 turned out to be a fine success, and in the process, all of us at EAI learnt a whole lot.

Subsequently, EAI had conducted / coordinated three more large renewable energy events – REaction 2012, Wind Power India 2012 and RENERGY Coimbatore.

We had exceptional learnings from these events, which we are incorporating in RENERGY 2013. The following are some of the key learnings

1. It is critical to look beyond the obvious sectors, such as solar, wind and biomass.

2. Within each sector, it is important to analyse the entire value chain. An exhibition becomes far more useful and productive when representatives from the entire value chain – and not just the prominent constituents – are present.

3. Sponsors need more than “logo visibility”.

4. Public private partnership could be a very powerful combination

5. One way conferences are on their way out.

With the above learnings, we have put together a rather delightful menu at RENERGY 2013, both at the exhibition and the conference.

Exhibition

At the exhibition, we will having a blend of the conventional with some exciting innovations.

• Innovation Pavilion – an exclusive pavilion to showcase innovations and inventions in renewable energy/cleantech
• Solution LaunchPad – A dedicated platform for companies with new products and solutions to promote their solutions to a dedicated audience
• Cool Announcements – A large exhibition with 250 exhibitors will not be easy to navigate. Effective and interesting announcements will ensure that visitors do not miss out on exciting stuff happening anywhere in the exhibition.
• Helpful Kiosks – We will be having automated and human-manned kiosks that will provide continuous directions and guidance to all the exhibitors and visitors.

Conference

I am more excited about what we plan to do for the conference. Having been a speaker at over 50 conferences in the last three years, you could say I have seen my share of the good and the bad. What we have done is to take all the good things we have seen, eliminate inefficiencies, and inject some creative and innovative ideas. The result, in my opinion, will be a truly productive and excitement filled three days for the expected 2000 delegates

Not just speaker sessions alone – the conference will be divided into three parts

Cofounder & Director – EAI

• Largest solar installation for Indian telecom sector
• Attractive tariff resulting in significant operational savings
• Significant amount of diesel consumption and Carbon di-oxide emissions offset

EAI has been advocating the use of solar as a remediation tool to offset diesel consumption. True, we have to live with diesel for sometime while solar PV gets ready to become a primary source of power. But beginnings have already been made in this direction. An  example of one such beginning is provided here.

Solar energy major SunEdison has completed the Indian telecom industry’s biggest solar installation at service provider Airtel’s Gangaganj Mobile Switching Centre.

The 100 kW solar unit uses high-efficiency mono crystalline photovoltaic modules, SMA’s string inverters and SunEdison’s very customized delta rack structures that preserve the structural strength of the roof while protecting the solar setup against up to 100 mph winds.

An attractive tariff of Rs 6/unit means that Airtel can achieve significant savings in operational expenditures against a previous blended electricity cost of Rs 9.5/unit that the telecom service provider was incurring before the installation, thanks to large volumes of diesel consumption.

The solar unit is expected to save around 18,000 litres of diesel annually and more than Rs 5 lakhs/year in operating costs for Airtel.

More important, the setup will offset 2000 tonnes of carbon di-oxide emissions that will alleviate some of the pressure on Airtel, who along with other telecom service providers have come under fire recently for their diesel use.

A complete case study document is available here.
