Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission National Solar Mission-Phase-I Journey so far NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd. 1 11/5/2012
Background India is located in the equatorial sun belt of the earth, thereby receiving abundant radiant energy from the sun. About 5000 trillion kwh of energy is incident over India s land area with most parts receiving 4-7 kwh per sq. m per day. National Action Plan on Climate Change identified National Solar Mission as one of the eight Missions emphasising shift from non-renewable sources to renewable sources of energy. 2
The National Solar Mission is major initiative of the Government of India To promote ecologically sustainable growth; Addressing India s energy security challenge. The Mission is set in three phases- Phase-I (up to 2010-13) 1100 MW Phase-2 (2013-17) 4,000 MW Figure : Solar radiation on India (Source: TERI ) 3 Phase-3 (2017-22) 20,000 MW 11/5/2012
Key events Cabinet approved the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission on 19 th November,2009. Govt. of India designated NVVN as the Nodal Agency on 22 nd December,2009. National Solar Mission launched by the Hon ble Prime Minister on 11 th January,2010. Three sets of Guidelines issued by MNRE Migration Projects - 9 th February,2010. New Projects (Batch-1) of Phase-I- (Solar PV-150 MW, Solar Thermal-470 MW) - 25 th July,2010. New Projects (Batch-2) of Phase-I (Solar PV-350 MW)- 24 th August,2011. 4 11/5/2012
Implementing JNNSM In order to facilitate grid connected solar power generation in the first phase, a mechanism of bundling relatively expensive solar power with power from the unallocated quota of the Government of India (Ministry of Power) generated at NTPC coal based stations, which is relatively cheaper, has been proposed by the Mission. This bundled power would be sold to the Distribution Utilities. For each MW of installed capacity of solar power for which a PPA is signed by NVVN, the Ministry of Power (MoP) shall allocate to NVVN an equivalent amount of MW capacity from the unallocated quota of NTPC coal based stations and NVVN will supply this bundled power to the Distribution Utilities. 5 11/5/2012

Guidelines for Migration of Existing Under Development Grid Connected Solar Projects from Existing Arrangements to the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) Considerations made: i) Some of the grid connected solar power projects are at various stages of development; ii) It is important that the projects that have made progress may be considered for migration from their respective existing arrangements to the ones envisaged under JNNSM; and iii) Subject to the consent of the Distribution Utility/ State Government and willingness of the developer. 7
Scope of the Guidelines i) It is limited to the migration of existing under development grid connected solar project projects from their existing arrangements to JNNSM; ii) Not applicable for the projects, which have already been commissioned on or before November 19, 2009. 8
9 Eligibility Criteria for the Projects i) The Project Developer should have signed a Power Purchase Agreement, on or before November 19, 2009 for sale of entire power to any Distribution Utility with approved tariff; or ii) The Project Developer should have filed a Petition alongwith Power Purchase Agreement for determination of tariff with the concerned Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC). iii) The Project Developer shall also submit the concurrence of the Distribution Utility /State Government for migration of the Project from the existing arrangement to JNNSM; iv) The Project Developer shall obtain the confirmation from the concerned Distribution Utility that they are agreeable to purchase the entire power from the solar power plant through NVVN.

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION OF NEW GRID CONNECTED SOLAR POWER PROJECTS Batch-I Capacity of Each Project i) The Project capacity shall be 5MW 5% in case of Solar PV Projects and no further variation in the capacity of the Project shall be permitted. ii) The minimum capacity of the Solar Thermal Project shall be 5MW and the maximum capacity of the Project shall be 100MW. 13
Phasing Allocation of Capacity i) In order to prevent bunching of large capacities and the difficulty that may arise in achieving financial closure, the selection of PV projects has been done in a phased manner; ii) Allocation of capacities has been done in two batches and over two financial years of Phase 1 i.e., 2010-2011 and 2011-2012; iii) First batch -FY 2010-11: - Solar PV projects - 150MW; - Solar Thermal projects (500 MW - capacity of migrated projects) iv) Second batch -FY 2011-12: - Solar PV Projects (500MW-150MW- Capacity of Migrated Projects) 14
Selection of Projects in First batch based on Discount in Tariff i) After short-listing, if the total aggregate capacity of the Solar PV Projects short-listed is upto 150 MW, all the short-listed Projects in the first batch i.e., in FY 2010-11 would be selected and Letter of Intent (LoI) will be issued to all the short-listed Projects. ii) If the total aggregate capacity of the Solar PV Projects short-listed is higher than 150 MW, the final selection of the Projects from the list of short-listed projects shall be done on the basis of discount to be offered by Project Developers on CERC Approved Applicable Tariff as detailed in the subsequent slides. 15
Selection of Projects in First batch based on Discount in Tariff The Short-listed Projects to submit Request for Proposal (RfP) bid indicating the discount in Rs/kWh on CERC Approved Applicable Tariff. The Projects offering the maximum discount in Rs/kWh on the CERC Approved Applicable Tariff would be selected first and so on. 16
17 Selection of Projects in First batch based on Discount in Tariff In order to discourage adventurous bids, Bid Bond on graded scale would need to be furnished along with the RfP bid in the manner detailed below: Sl.No. Discount offered on CERC Approved Tariff Amount of Bid Bond applicable for every paise of discount on CERC Approved tariff (per MW) 1 Upto 10% and 10% Rs.10,000/= 2 More than 10% & Upto 15% Rs.20,000/= 3 More than 15% & Upto 20% Rs30,000/= 4 More than 20% & Upto 25% Rs.40,000/= 5 More than 25% Rs.50,000/=
