Hurdles for GRPV: Parliamentary Committee Report

The 28th Report titled “National Solar Mission – An Appraisal” of the 16th Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy attributed multiple reasons hampering GRPVs growth.

► Reasons linked to Utility Preparedness

❑ Need for standardized and time bound interconnection framework

❑ Need for standardized agreements, applications forms and formats

❑ Capacity building of DISCOMs staff

❑ Streamline commissioning process

❑ Need of change in utility’s billing system

Slow Growth of

GRPV

• Involvement of multiple approval agencies

• DISCOMs reluctance to operationalize GRPV.

• Non uniform framework and agreements

across States

• Lack of consumer awareness. Skill and

knowledge gap.

• Tedious process for project commissioning and

subsidy disbursement

• Frequent changes in Government Policies or

lack in Policies for GRPV promotion.

TA support under the WB-SBI Program would facilitate creating enabling environment for

investment opportunities for GRPV sector in the State to move towards market mode

Net Metering : with battery

Net Metering: without battery

► Supplementary generation when Peaking Plants Shutdown mid-day

► Replace thermal power in the Energy Basket

► Reduce Peak Demand at the consumer end

► Additionally serves as Back Up Supply source

Excess Generation is stored in batteries

Back up during grid failure

State endowed with hydro resources can offset thermal power procurement combing Solar PV + Storage

Inclusion of Storage helps in shifting energy from the time of availability to the time of requirement in the evening

Allowing grid connected systems to have storage component reduces the grid injection during low demand from the consumer

Back up power is a requirement in the region prone to climatic and seismic sensitivities

State should explore benefits combining PV + Storage by adequate policy provisions to solve

challenges

State (NER) specific Capex Benchmarking

Source: MNRE office memorandum No. 318/38/2018-GCRT

Benchmark costs are basis of central

government’s incentives/ subsidies

Benchmark cost varies significantly from lowest bids determined by SECI

Higher cost of O&M, Logistics,

Supply chain

Larger number of residential consumers

Subsidy for PV with/without

Storage

Value of NER, Hilly states are 10% higher

A separate Benchmark Cost assessment may be performed for the State for GRPV

For NER and Hilly states:

• No separate benchmark cost for GRPV

• Separate benchmark cost exist for Standalone

Draft HERC Net Metering Regulations, 2018

➢Policy and Regulatory framework help create an investment climate for a sector’s growth.

➢Policy provides the vision of the Government whereas Regulations help create rules of the games to fulfil the vision for the Sector.

➢ In many cases Regulations are guided by both the applicable policy framework and the market dynamics.

➢HERC recently published the Draft Net Metering Regulations, 2018 to create a facilitative environment for GRPV’s off-take in Haryana.

➢Many of the provisions addressed in the Regulations, may be incorporated in the Policy document for Nagaland. These provisions may

then guide the NERC amend/ draft GRPV Regulations encompassing the State Government’s visions for the sector.

1. Increasing 1 MW limit to 2 MW

2. Virtual Net Metering – with multiple variants

3. Utility driven Business Models

4. Extending Net Metering benefits to Metered

Agriculture Pumpsets

5. Grandfathering Clause for exemption of various

charges for 25 years

6. Constitution of State Level Co-ordination Committee

and DISCOMs Rooftop Cell

► The WB-SBI TA Program recommends to include such sector friendly provisions as part of the Nagaland GRPV Policy

Need for Dedicated State Specific GRPV Policy

12 October 2018

Need for dedicated GRPV Policy

Off-Grid to GRPV

To clearly provide guidance on

converting existing Off-grid systems to

GRPV with storage subject to

appropriate safety measures.

Clarity on RoleTo bring in the clarity on Roles and responsibilities

of various Government Institutions in accelerating

GRPV deployment. Also, provide guidance towards

time bound action plan for achieving the Policy

Objective.

ClimateWith lesser sunny days, lower solar

irradiance and heavy rainfall,

promotion of solar technology would

require special measures and

incentives.

Target SettingSetting of target capacity to be installed in the State,

taking into consideration the present scenario. Setting

of Category-wise, Sector-wise, year-wise targets along

with guidance on facilitative eco-system.

TerrainNagaland being a hilly state with large

forest cover need focused approach

towards GRPV as against Utility Scale

Solar which need large land tracts and

investments.

Supply Chain Management /

Local Employment To successfully install GRPV in the State, the policy

is required to establish a robust supply chain system

management system to make it reach to the far flung

areas of the State. Policy to further provide guidance

on promotional measures for localized start-ups,

employment opportunities.
