Falling Solar Tariffs Bring Opportunities Galore, But Present Challenges Too

Falling solar tariffs have certainly buoyed the Indian solar industry, and solar installations are expected to grow at a rapid pace this year. The recent bid of Rs 2.97/KWh for the Rewa mega project has created a new benchmark for the solar sector. With this, solar power in India has already achieved coal parity, something which not many were expecting before 2019. As tariffs fall further, the demand for solar power will go up, giving the government all the more reason to focus more on solar energy as compared to other energy sources.

India's Hydro Sector Needs An Impetus In 2017

The government of India has put in efforts to bring in reforms in transmission and distribution in India aiming at 24x7 electricity for all by 2021. There are also efforts to bring in similar reforms in India’s hydropower sector, which has been ailing for over 4-5 years now. India’s installed hydro base has remained in the 40k MW for the last 4 years with very incremental capacity additions. The renewables sector (solar and wind) have grown over 87% in the last decade while hydro caught up with only a meagre comparative increase of 28%.
