28th April, 2011
Editor's NoteHello everyone, Welcome to yet another edition of the EAI newsletter. Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) trading for the month of April 2011 took place on 27th April. The trading dynamics were quite different this month as compared to March. While the March trading was dominated by buyers of REC, sellers dominated the trading in April. This was reflected in the price at which the RECs were sold. A detailed review of the trading for this month is available at http://bit.ly/iuL0qv After a fairly long gap, EAI is organizing the “EAI Club Meet” at Chennai. Mr. Victor Thamburaj, CEO of iPLON GmbH, a Germany based firm providing intelligent monitoring systems for Solar PV farms, will be speaking on the topic “ Installing Large Scale PV Farms : A European Experience”.
