– Investments in Indian renewable energy
Why India?
• One of the world’s fastest growing economies• Will be in the top 5 countries GDP-wise by 2020 ($1.5
trillion and growing at approx 9%)• Large and growing middle class• Low wage economy, optimal manufacturing base• 100 Indian companies have market cap of US$ 1bn • 1,000 Indian companies have received foreign
institutional investment• 125 Fortune 500 companies have R&D bases in India

Why Indian Renewable Energy?• Critical drivers that propel the growth of renewable energy
sources in India:– Fast economic growth– Peak power deficit– Thousands of villages without access to grid
• Country has rich natural resources - esp solar, wind and biomass…and waste.
• Government (center and state) extremely proactive to the growth of renewable energy sources
www.eai.in
Why Indian Renewable Energy Now?
• Get an early mover advantage in one of the fastest-growing renewable energy markets
• Take advantage of a number of attractive government incentives.
• Obtain business partnerships and JVs with prominent Indian companies that might not be available later
• Enter early and go up the learning curve to benefit most when the market starts growing at exponential rate (look at the mobile industry, for instance)
India’s Fuel Needs
• India uses annually (2010 data)– 800 billion kWh of electricity– 138 million T of petroleum– 2.26 trillion cu ft of natural gas
• Electricity– In 2010, peak power shortage was 12 %. Electricity demand
expected to rise by 7.4% a year during the next quarter of a century.– Installed capacity – 171 GW– Expect to install 100 GW during 2012-17– Expected installed capacity 2020 – 350-400 GW
• 15% contribution from RE by 2020; expect to add 17 GW from renewables during 2012-17; wind (60%), solar (20%), biomass and small hydro (10% each)
Power Sources
• Of the 171 GW (Feb 2011), 18.3 GW is renewable energy.
• Wind represents about 13 GW, small hydro represents 2.8 GW, and about 2.2 GW of biomass.

WHAT?– Needs and Drivers
– Status of Renewable Energy in India
– Regional potential for renewable energy in India
– Attractive Opportunities for European Companies
Needs and Drivers
• Increasing electricity needs– Over 60,000 villages without electricity - Dire need for
distributed energy generation– Peak deficit over 10%– Significant industrial productivity loss due to power cuts –
7% decrease in turnovers of Indian companies, acc to Goldman Sachs
– Significant reliance on diesel as a standby source, increasing the import bill, and resulting in higher pollution
• Increasing needs of transport and liquid fuels
www.eai.in
• National Solar Mission– 20 GW by 2022; state targets in addition– KPMG estimates put total installed capacity 68 GW by 2022;
EAI estimates put it at 75 GW (solar PV+CSP+offgrid).– Focus on both PV and CSP, and thermal– Midway through the first phase (total 1000 MW)
• 200 MW of PV and 500 MW of CSP awarded
– State-specific Solar Missions – Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra– PV expected to have race ahead in the near term, CSP higher
prospects post 2015 and long term– Emphasis on developing the entire ecosystem
Solar Focus - Overall
• National Solar Mission– 10 GW by 2022; state targets in addition– 1 GW by end of 2013; 5 GW by end of 2017; 10 GW by 2022– Midway through the first phase
• 200 MW of PV allocated (5 MW each); 300 MW to be allocated soon
– Feed in tariffs in the range – 20-24 Euro cents/kWh– PV expected to have race ahead in the near term, CSP higher prospects
post 2015 and long term– Local content requirements– Emphasis on developing the entire ecosystem
– Opportunities for foreign companies: EPCs, developers, component or equipment manufacturing, solar farm analytics, training and support
Solar Focus - PV
• National Solar Mission– 10 GW by 2022; state targets in addition– Midway through the first phase
• 500 MW of CSP awarded
– Minimum capacity – 50 MW• Feed-in-tariffs range – 16-22 Euro c/kWh• PV expected to have race ahead in the near term, CSP higher
prospects post 2015 and long term• BHEL – Abengoa JV for CSP in India
• Opportunities for foreign companies: EPCs, developers, technology transfer, R&D collaboration
Solar Focus - CSP
• Total installed capacity – 14000 MW• Fifth largest installed capacity in the world • Estimates – 50,000 MW by 2020• Current annual additions of about 2500 MW, expected to increase to 4000
MW• Feed-in-tariffs in range – 5.5-9 Euro cents/kWh• Main companies – Suzlon, Vestas, Gamesa, GE, Siemens, Enercon, WinWind• Demand supply gap in turbines widening• Chennai Major hub for turbine manufacturing – Chennai hosts mfg for
Vestas, Gamesa, WinWind, Pioneer Wincon…
• Opportunities for foreign companies: Developers, turbine component manufacturing, wind energy analytics
Wind Focus
• India has more agricultural land than China (160 mill ha vs 137 mill ha)• Total biomass availability in India – about 400 million T per year; agro waste
availability – about 200 million T per year, which translates to about 30 GW of power capacity
• Total installed capacity (including cogeneration): about 2.2 GW (1.1 GW cogen, 0.9 GW combustion, 0.1 GW gasification)
• Biomass power divided into– Combustion – 5 MW and above; low efficiency; 800 MW installed capacity– Gasification – 10 kW to 2 MW; medium efficiency; 120 MW installed capacity
• Feed-in-tariffs in range – 5.5-8 Euro cents/kWh• Emerging – Pyrolysis and AD• Drivers – rural power needs, small scale power needs• Bottlenecks – biomass supply chain, price of biomass
• Opportunities for foreign companies – Technology transfer (esp for small scale biomass), research collaboration in energy crops, developer
Biomass Focus
• National Biofuels Mission– Blending targets for both biodiesel and ethanol
• Biodiesel– India is a diesel country – (65 million T diesel vs 17 million T gasoline)– Total installed capacity – 1.2 million T– Production – Less than 100,000 T– Biodiesel facing serious pressure on both supply side and demand side (price)
• Ethanol– India second largest sugar producer in the world (350 million T per annum; Brazil – 645 million
T)– 95 million gallons (0.32 million T) of fuel ethanol production – 2010– 5% blending will require about 150 million gallons (0.5 million T)– Tussle between use of ethanol for fuel vs. spirits vs. industrial use
• Opportunities for foreign companies: Research in oilseeds and cellulosic ethanol, research in increasing seed yield for crops such as Jatropha
Biofuels Focus
• Potential – 15000 MW• Status – 2950 MW (20% of total)• Grew at about 10% CAGR between 2005-2010; expected to grow at about 13% between
2010-2015• Drivers
– Power requirements in remote locations– Availability of small hydro resources in these locations– Requirements of baseload power
• Bottlenecks– Long approval times (over 3 years)– Very geography dependent
• Run of river and hydrokinetic in its nascent stages• Large companies more interested in large hydro• Number of companies in small hydro keen on selling their licences
• Opportunities for foreign companies – equipment and component supply, especially more efficient turbines and accessories
Small Hydro Focus
• Potential – 148700 MW• Status – 37400 MW installed capacity• Drivers
– Need for large-scale baseload power– Need for large-scale low cost power
• Bottlenecks– Large ecological imprint– Long time for starting off– Large capital requirements– Geological surprises
• Companies in large hydro – (Govt) SJVN, NHPC, Damodar Valley Corp., (Private) Tata Power, Reliance Power, Jaiprakash Power
• Opportunities for foreign companies – equipment and component supply, ability to bring in large-scale financing
Large Hydro Focus
• 42 million T of municipal solid waste (MSW)• 200 million T of agricultural waste• Indian cities alone generate 32 billion liters of sewage a day.• A wide variety of industrial waste, including animal waste from poultry and cattle farms• Potential – 17 MW for MSW and 29 MW for industrial waste• Drivers
– Need to dispose of waste in an environment friendly manner– Need to incentivise such waste disposal
• Bottlenecks– Complex logistics– Technology still evolving– Need to deal with government in many cases, slowing down processes
• Opportunities for foreign companies – technology transfer (esp gasification related domains), innovative tech to deal with distributed energy production using waste, tech for treatment for hazardous waste
