JNNSM - Phase 1 : Learning

Experienced companies have shown interest only in large size projects Price reduction is possible if the tender size is big. Most of the projects are coming up in few States, like, Rajasthan where cheap land and better State Government policies are in place. Availability of transmission infrastructure needs improvement. Assurance on regular payments is important for banks / financial institutions.

JNNSM Phase 2 : Goals

3000 MW capacity to be supported by the Government of India
Bundling with thermal power to the extent the latter is available Generation Based Incentive Use of viability gap funding mechanism

Additional 6000 MW is envisaged through Solar RPO requirement

Requirement of solar power capacity by 2017 is estimated to be about 10000 MW.

1000 MW off grid solar applications by 2017 15 million square meters solar thermal collector area by 2017

Mandatory Solar RPO Mechanism

State Electricity Regulators to fix a percentage of energy purchased from Solar Power under RPO. The Solar RPO has to begin with 0.25 % of the energy procured reaching 3% by 2022.
