Ushering in a new “Dawn”
The Centre has proposed another scheme called ‘UDAY’ to tackle the debilitating problems of discoms. Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY) announced in the first week of November 2015 to overhaul the operations of distribution companies (discoms) though a slew of carrots and sticks has evoked hopes that the scheme could usher in a new dawn for the Indian power sector, which has been saddled with numerous problems. Will it dawn a new era on the power sector is the moot question.
The features in the issue focus on Transformers and Smart Metering and the Renew article is on Geothermal, an idea to which the country is warming up.

The current edition covers how policy measures such as Uday, Shakti, Saubhagya, Shakti, Power for All, and Samadhan are performing. Since, electricity is a concurrent subject and implementation of such schemes requires nothing less than a sound political will, it will be interesting to see how, in its fifth year, the government will cover the marathon distance. 
The renew section covers why wind-solar hybrid policy is necessary for India's energy mix.

across the globe.

Power Today, in its latest edition highlighted how the Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojna (UDAY) has performed since its inception. Although state discoms have managed to leverage UDAY by paring financial losses but a marginal decrease in AT&C losses seems to be the bone of contention. The issue also highlight issues in transmission and distribution sector. Also, the current edition embarks upon opportunities in the power sector. Also the story highlights how the entire rooftop solar sector has behaved in the last financial year with challenges around. 

Our cover story on “Saubhagya” scheme titled ‘Brightening up Households’ looks into the focus, benefits and challenges in achieving the objectives of the scheme. The article hopes that the scheme, if it could achieve household electrification in full, can increase the demand for power and brighten up the livelihoods of people bereft of electricity connection hitherto. The Renew cover story on Wind Power titled ‘Facing Headwinds’, highlights that growing competitive pressure will slowdown the pace of the sector going ahead, though it could keep up the pace for now.

Our feature on EPC contracts titled ‘Downturn Due” finds that slowing tenders, project actualisation, and looming threat of 70-per cent safeguard duty are likely to result in a major downturn for the EPC market. A special report on Power Equipment segment, titled ‘Powering Ahead Ful Steam’ says the equipment industry witnessed a 4.25 per cent growth in 2016-17, with exports worth $6 billion.

Our Cover Story is on Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director, Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL), who has been selected as the ‘Power Today Person of the Year’ for 2017.  It discusses how Kumar has made a business proposition out of the idea of energy efficiency and made it a thriving business in India and abroad. The Renew cover story on Cogeneration titled ‘Gas, a Better Option’ looks into how the industry’s thrust on using gas as a fuel for cogeneration would change the dynamics of decentralised cogeneration in India. 

Our Special Report on IoT titled ‘Gearing up for Blockchain’ discusses the way IoT can be used for basic automation to turning towards crypto currency, and how digitisation is delivering tools that offer dynamic solutions in power sector too.  In the interaction on ‘Generation’ Andrew DeLeone, Managing Director, GE Power India Ltd says that the key coal-based technology was not in the laboratory, but is really happening.

Our cover story 'Logistics Clouding Coal’ looks at how coal crisis could have been avoided with better co-ordination among stakeholders, though weak logistics support and lack of preparedness on the part of power plants are to be blamed for the recent coal shortage at power plants. The Renew cover story on Solar titled ‘Cloud over Solar’, highlights that despite the government is tweaking policies to encourage solar power capacity addition, the rising equipment cost is threatening to spoil the party.

Our feature on Power Generation Equipment titled ‘A buoyant market ahead’ finds that though the BTG stakeholders are still keeping their fingers crossed on demand growth, the experts are seeing the green shoots. In a report on Oil & Gas ‘Indian Sector Outlook Stable’ rating leading agency Fitch expects Indian state-owned oil & gas companies to undergo large debt-funded consolidation in 2018.

Our cover story 'Hydro-Watered Down’ looks at the impediments to its growth faced by the hydropower segment and suggests some remedial measures. However, it exudes hope that hydropower has come into the government focus means that it will pick up pace going ahead. The Renew cover story on Biomass titled ‘Homegrown Solution’, highlights that despite its huge potential in a largely agrarian India, biomass lacks competitiveness and is small in comparison to the other green energy sources.


Our feature on Cooling Towers titled ‘A buoyant market ahead’ finds that though the industry is passing through a sluggish phase, the demand is expected to look up in the next few years. A special report on Nuclear Power ‘Not in the Race Yet’ says that though India is pursuing its nuclear ambition, it is yet to join the race, highlighting that however, its compulsions arise from the need to light up the future of millions of its citizens.

Our cover story 'TPPs for Sale' looks at how the 20 GW of thermal power generation capacity lying idle and 20 GW that is expected to join it soon will debilitate the debt servicing capacity of the industry, and suggests the government to find a remedy at the earliest. The Renew cover story on Geothermal titled 'Warming up to the Idea’, highlights falling costs of this source of energy, making it a competitive option for India to pursue, which the government is also contemplating.

Our feature on Electric Motors 'Propelling Efficiency’, captures the seriousness of the government in pursuing energy efficiency and the recently notified standards for the electric motors segment in that process. A special report on Switchgears ‘Sprinting on a Growth Track’ while stating that switchgears and controls are gaining importance in the present industry scenario, highlights the imperative of developing an efficient distribution management system to boost its market size.

In the September 2017 edition of Power Today, our Cover Story on GST, titled ‘The Powernomics of GST’, analysed that with GST finally here and despite presently passing through initial pangs, it is expected to promote ‘ease of doing business’ in a big way, in due course. Our renew cover story on wind, titled ‘Silver Linings’, looked at how the sector which was once India’s undisputed workhorse in the renewable sector, may have been out-paced but not beaten, with tenders for the sector being seen as a revival tool.
Our feature on wires & cables - ‘Wiring the Future’, observed how the segment has come into its own in India, and with plans for huge infrastructure projects in place and an expected positive outlook on GST, the future looks bright. While the second feature on transformers - ‘Healthy Growth’, found that the transformer market is bullish about the future, by riding on optimism driven by improvement seen in transmission and distribution segments. 

Our cover story 'StUMPPed', looked at how the change in coal export regulations by Indonesia and Australia has queered the pitch for Tata Power and Adani Power. But poses a question over whether India can afford to forsake such huge assets built assiduously. The renew cover 'Storing the Sun', observed that with increase in share of renewables in the distribution system, it has become indispensable to incorporate large scale integration of energy storage, which gives flexibility to quickly ramp up supply in case the need arises.
Our feature on smart grids 'Implementation is Key', explores how formulating policies is only the first step, the success of smart grids depends on the time-bound implementation of projects. While our special report on capacitors, 'Capacity Building', looks at the major market shareholder in the power sector, which seems to have lagged behind in meeting the high expectations, despite average results.

In the July 2017 edition of Power Today, our cover story 'Unclear to Nuclear', observed that while many countries are unable to take a firm stand on the future of nuclear power, India has decided to go ahead with it, to light up the future of millions of citizens.

Our first feature on monopoles 'Poles Apart', found that despite having been a part of the India power T&D for over 50 years, lack of awareness and expertise of utilities, have left monopoles as yet obscured in the country's T&D space.

While, the second feature on testing and measuring 'Gaining Prominence', saw how increasing awareness on the need for quality service is resulting in more comanies opting to test tehir products before they hit the market.

The renew cover story 'Balanced Scale' focussed on solar PV, which found that with India looking at solar to play a major role in the country’s energy mix, an emerging sticking point is the imbalance between usage of imported v/s domestic PV panels for local projects.


Cover story on surplus power, titled 'Problem of Plenty' analysed how India has become a power surplus nation, albeit with certain caveats. In its wake, the country has changed the whole paradigm of generation sources, with solar and wind hogging the spotlight and coal being relegated a bit. 

The feature on DG sets, 'Rising Opportunities', looked at how India’s economic growth coupled with the unreliable electricity grid has opened up a margin for the DG sets segment, which is looking at filling the gaps. The second feature on energy efficiency, 'On the Right Track', explores India's target of achieving around 30 GW of peak load energy savings by changing into energy efficient home appliances and LED lightings.

While the renew Cover on waste-to-energy, 'Pay Dirt', explains how waste-to-energy conversion can help India deal with the not only the increasing garbage disposal problem, but also address health and economic issues.

In the May 2017 edition of Power Today, the cover story 'UDAY – Turning the Tide Truly', focussed on how the UDAY scheme has brought about an initial turnaround in discom efficiency during the last one year. However, sustaining the pace is vital for bringing the power sector out of the woods. 
The first feature on coal in power - 'Future Ready', discussed that despite consisting of a major chunk of India’s energy mix, the coal sector is only now emerging from the dungeons, backed by GoI’s production targets. While the second feature on boilers & turbines - 'Replacement Market to Drive BTG Demand', found that over the next five years, it is estimated that India may need to replace the boilers to an equivalent of 50,000 MW capacity.
Our renew cover story 'Sunset Detour' focussed on hydropower and how once at the forefront of power generation in India, the sector has today fallen far behind. We took a look at what ails the sector and the possible solutions to restore its former glory.

Our cover story 'Blackouts Under Control', explored the possibility that just because we have avoided blackouts for four years, it does not mean that our grid infrastructure is robust and that implementation of plans at state level has to be expedited to yield better results. While our first feature on pumps 'Techno-Driven', found that while currently on the down low, the industry is positive of a manufacturing and technology backed revival soon. The second feature on balance of plant 'Green Shoot for BoP', looked at how from the inactive state, when the economy starts picking up, it is expected that there would be a growing gap between the demand and supply in the long term.
Our renew cover story on concentrated solar power (CSP), 'Reflection Time', impressed upon how despite dedicated solar policies with well-defined targets, there is barely any focus on CSP, and India thus needs to seriously re-think and regenerate to get the sector up and running.

'Solar Shines!', our cover story for the March 2017 edition of Power Today looked at the impact of the Union Budget on the sector, which was in particular full of sops for solar – in terms of investment, village electrification and taxes. However, we found that this calls for building renewable power compatible T&D infrastructure on a war footing. Our features were on Powerful PSUs and T&D Infrastructure. With the former focused on some of the PSUs involved in pushing India’s developmental agenda; while the latter analysed how with the Indian government looking at fortifying the T&D space and plugging the holes, the segment may be finally receiving its long overdue attention. Our renew cover on cogeneration observes that the biomass/cogeneration industry would like government support to tap its full potential with more advantageous policies.

In the February 2017 edition of POWER TODAY, our cover story 'Green Grid Gap', analysed the planned Green Energy Corridor, which is envisioned to carry 'intermittent' solar and wind power from producers to consumers efficiently. We found that the GEC is yet to catch up with the pace of capacity creation. Our feature on DG Sets, looked at how the diesel generator segment in India has seen steady rise, and unreliability of electricity grids is one of the major factors driving this market; and the one on and Oil & Gas Infra found that while the country lacks in gas infrastructure, India is already the fourth largest importer of LNG with 5.8 per cent share. The Renew section focused on wind energy, which has been in India since the 1990s. If used to its full potential, wind power can take the country's growth to uncharted shores.

The cover story ‘RECord Gains!’, evaluated and found out that Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which did not find takers till last year, have gained prominence after the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Renewable Public Obligations (RPOs).

Our two features, first on IT in power - The ‘IT’ Factor, saw how as a crucial element for efficient operation and management of industrial systems, information technology (IT) has the potential to open new avenues for the sector; while the second on power transformers - Leaps and Bounds, looks at how buoyancy in fast tracking projects could take the segment to the next level.

In the Renew section, the cover story ‘Elemental Dissonance’, tracked that despite solar being on a roll with a slew of project announcements and government backing, manufacturing is yet to hitch onto the wagon.

The cover story 'Light at the end of tunnel', highlighted how with the advent of structural reforms in discoms, debt stress in power companies is expected to ease. However, the implementation is critical. Our Renew section cover 'Undervalued Gold' focussed on how biomass plays a vital role especially in rural areas - being used widely for household routines, but this resource has been small in terms of comparative scale in India, especially when juxtapositioned against the other green energy sources. the features highlighted the growing Cooling Towers and Pumps & Pumping Systems segments of the power industry.

The cover story for the November issue focussed on ‘Good Monsoon: A Mixed Blessing’, where we looked at how the copious monsoon has turned out to be a boon for hydro and wind power segments, while it was a bane for coal-based power and solar plants. On the renewable side, we analysed what ails the hydro power sector, which despite once being at the forefront of power generation in India, lags behind today. We also look at possible solutions to restore its former glory. Our feature on LED looked at how the LED lighting business is growing significantly and is expected to reach $1.3 billion by 2018, capturing over 50 per cent of the lighting industry; while the one on Gas Turbines & Engines found that gas turbines could be the technology of choice for the future as the laws on emission standards get tougher by the day.


In the October issue, the cover story 'Making TPPs Sustainable', looked at how the new Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) norms impose huge costs on power generators, even as they are necessary for the country in the emerging global ecosystem. It explores why the government should thus play a balancing act in this direction. 

For the features, the first one on GST, observed that while it has the potential to turn the whole country into a common market and improve ease of doing business, it is expected to be mostly neutral to power sector. The second feature, on Instrumentation & Control, saw how given the infrastructural growth in the country, high volume, low voltage switchgear and controls will continue to dominate the markets. 

In Renew, we had a special report on the status of Nuclear Energy in the country and how India’s need for power and focus on reducing carbon footprint have put pressure on the need for green energy that can be produced on a large scale; and it is here where nuclear power races ahead of its competitors. Our analysis section overviewed the 'Renewables 2016: Global Status Report' by REN21, which looks at how the world now adds more renewable power capacity annually than it adds capacity from all fossil fuels combined.

In our cover story on ‘Reviving gas-based power’, we take a look at the several such power plants that have been lying idle for a few years due to drying up of gas supplies, and how the only way to revive them is to bolster LNG imports. Our features on ‘Wires & Cables’ we analyse how upcoming investments in the power sector worth Rs 15,000 lakh crore over the next five years, will boost the wires & cables segment - which are essential to enable this development and will witness a huge growth trajectory. Our second feature on ‘Capacitors & Meters’ finds that while the smart meter initiative will pull the growth rate of meters to double digits in the coming years, the capacitor market is expected to remain in the sub-5 per cent levels.
In the Renew section, we focus on ‘Geothermal Energy’, its growth and implementation around the world and possibilities in India. While the Power Point sections expands on the tools for maximizing wind turbine ROI and the legalese overviews how UDAY is an ambitious indian distribution sector bailout. The issue also features an exclusive interview with Mr Gurdeep Singh, CMD, NTPC Limited and analysis the benefits and finer details of asset performance management over the IoT platform.


The cover story‘Power of Quality’ was focused on how in all the rush to get initial power supply to consumers, an important aspect of quality of power is a neglected subject, despite its potential to boost industry and economy.  
Our  feature on ‘Smart Grids’ takes a look at the 14 smart grid pilot projects envisioned by the Government, which were small, but sure steps towards upgrading Indian power T&D infrastructure for the better. While, the feature on ‘Electric Motors’ has an overview of how the electrical equipment segment requires to adopt and implement effective energy efficient strategies to fuel growth.
We also interacted with Ramesh Kumar, Managing Director, Essar Power Gujarat Limited on the topic of power generation; and showcase a case study on micro-grids. The Power Point and Legalese columns deal with the topics of ‘Energy Management’ and ‘Government Initiatives in the Power Sector’, respectively.
The Renew section cover story looked at the ‘Wind Energy’ sector and how despite positive sentiments, the industry is yet to see movement from buyers for completed projects despite decrease in tariffs for wind power. While, the renew analysis showcased the financials for the solar sector in Q2.
