Developers/EPC/Suppliers/State c) Better planning of resources avoiding slack period in between business spikes,

improving the economic aspects of the sector.

2. Infrastructure Coordination among Government Entities: a) The nodal agencies to firm up the plan with various power off-takers (with

whom they are planning to have PSA) b) It shall include the binding parameters viz. Transmission/Distribution availability

time & off-taking capacity c) Single Window Clearance Mechanism – State level and Central Level

Confidential



3. Solar Park Development: a) The nodal agencies develop the Solar Parks with infra-structural facilities b) It shall establish associated infrastructure like Land Development, Internal

Roads, Fencing, Water connectivity, power evacuation facility between Solar plant and the designated GSS etc.

c) The nodal agency to shoulder the Land Acquisition tactivity. d) The Park can be also developed on the basis of PPP model where there shall

be separate independent tenders for solar park development

4. Project Monitoring:

a) Setting of strong joint monitoring and problem resolution committee (Nodal Agency + Solar Park Developer + Transcom + Discom + Developer) to timely liquidate the issues and ensure the completion of the respective scope of work.

b) This is to ensure timely commissioning of the Solar Projects.

Confidential



5. RPO Target Setting: a) State agencies to coordinate closely with the CERC and SERC for setting up of

RPO targets with long term visibility and develop an effective mechanism to achieve the same in a time bound manner.

6. RPO Implementation and Enforcement:

a) The State Regulatory authorities to strictly enforce the RPO. b) The cost of avoidance should be significantly higher than the cost of

compliance.

7. Electricity Act Modification: a) Strong and Concerted approach to influence policy makers and legislatures to

ensure recognition of Solar Power from other energy saving approaches

Confidential



8. Promotion of Renewable Power: a) Implementation of Open Access facilities for interstate sale of Solar Power b) Provision of banking and wheeling benefits c) Provide large capacity opportunities for developers to explore the volume benefit and try to pass

on as much benefit possible to off takers and society.

Expectations/Suggestions: Achieve Solar Targets 9. Implementation of FIT

a) The pace of Solar Project implementation is very slow b) Speculative bidding pattern is significant: providing success in bidding but poses severe

challenges in the implementation . c) Based on the prevailing CERC/SERC tariff – define the FIT and invite the developers to

implement large capacity Solar Projects. d) The developers with sound financial and execution capabilities shall be encouraged to develop

large capacities in shortest possible durations. e) It will be free from the negatives of the speculative biddings f) The lenders/investors will be more comfortable and can plan for long term horizon g) The developers are able to plan on long term basis. h) The success rate of Solar Power realisation shall be very high i) Highest probability of achieving the Solar Mission Targets.
