1 Benefits of Grid ConneCted solar rooftop pV

Solar Potential in India Tropical Country More than 300 sunny days More than 300 sunny days Around 5000 trillion kwh/year energy incident over India Highest global radiation received in Rajasthan & Northern Gujarat Potential: 600 GW

Solar Targets :India Rooftop solar to account for 40 percent of the target (40 GW)

Key Benefits for Consumers Reduces the dependency on grid power, Long term reliable power source Reduction in Utility Electricity Bill; Higher benefits in TOD regime Option for revenue generation through Net Metering Framework One time investment provides 25 years’ solar generation Accelerated Depreciation Benefits for I&C consumers Levelized cost of generation vis-à-vis increasing fossil fuel cost makes economically viable project

Growth Drivers for Residential Consumers 30% Capital Subsidy by MNRE Delhi Solar Policy: Generation Generation No Based Incentives (GBI) @ Rs. 2/unit Based Maintenance for 3years; applicable to solar Incentive Cost plants which generate > 1100 units (GBI) /KW/annum . Residential Consumers Reduction in Utility Net Electricity Metering Bill Value creation from unutilized roofs

Key Benefits for Discoms Avoided Network Augmentation Cost Ease of Development Minimal operation and (Permits, Site Selection, maintenance cost and Clearances) Fulfill RPO obligations for Grid Interactive Low Gestation Period Discoms Rooftop Systems Reduction in T&D losses on account of proximity to Ease Network Congestion load centers Less dependence on fossil fuels-Green source of Energy

9 Key Benefits for Discoms: Impact on System Peak Load 80% Solar Generation Off-sets Normal Hours & 20% Off-sets Peak Hour Load for ToD Consumers Summer Peak Periods Afternoon - 3pm to 4:30pm Evening – 11pm to 1am Winter Peak Periods Morning- 9am to 11am Evening – 6pm to 8pm 9 Peaking of Rooftop Solar Generation is partly co-existent with Peak Demand of Discom

Challenges/Barriers in Large Scale Deployment  High Upfront Cost  Apprehensions about the technology  Limited financing Scheme by Banks  Shift of I&C consumers to solar result in revenue loss for Discoms  Issue of Cross subsidy to be handled  Regulators don’t often factor in / compensate for the cost of the grid support provided by utility to the solar consumers Technical: Grid-integration challenge with likelihood of ‒ Reversal of power flows across the LT network. ‒ Breach of voltage regulations with tail -end generation feed ‒ Erratic behavior of LV protection systems

Solar Implementation Roadmap for Discoms Identify key markets for solar- Utility can begin offering Commercial & Industrial customers quality and financially attractive rooftop solar systems Standardize and improve quality Streamline the interconnection process for customer Solar Plant Develop standards to ensure quality of solar installations ; monitor and track system performance and costs Manage Utility Portfolio: Further develop complementary programs: Demand Side Management /Energy Efficiency, Demand Response to maximize utility value from the solar 11 Manage Supply portfolio: As the installed solar increases, manage the conventional supply portfolio in a complementary manner

12 TPDDL Solar Initiatives  Highest Solar Grading as System Integrator and Project Developer received from ICRA.  Empanelled as first Utility Channel Partner with Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, GoI  TPDDL Initiative for providing Value Added Services to consumers on Solar Project received DERC Approval  Three Turnkey Solar Project Installation Agencies with Highest Grading have been empanelled  Association for framing BIS Standard for smart meter(whole current) to be used in Solar Projects. Smart Net Meter Specification has been finalized  Received National Award under category “Discom –Promotion /Facilitation for Rooftop Solar “ by Shri Piyush Goyal , Hon’ble Union Minister for Power, Coal, New and Renewable Energy, GOI  TPDDL has won the award “Rooftop Solar Enabler of the Year – Utility” under the aegis of the Indian Rooftop Solar Leadership Awards, 2016

Consumer Benefits from TPDDL Solar Projects Stakeholder Services Benefit to Customer Empanelment of Implementing Agency with open competitive bidding Optimum price with superior technology • • Benefit of Economy of Scale Standardization of Equipment Specification & Technology Ensuring Quality of Solar Plant Verification of Engineering Design and Array Layout for each consumer after joint site Customized design of optimum solar capacity for Consumer survey TPDDL Facilitation to finalize terms & conditions for supply, installation and AMC Ensuring smooth transaction and proper execution for solar project Dedicated technical team to monitor & facilitate installation, testing and Ensuring Quality and Safety for Solar Plant Execution commissioning of the Solar Plants Supply of material as per TPDDL Benchmark, modules with 25 years warranty and Ensuring Quality of material Solar Plants with 5, 7 or 10 years’ warranty Installation of project within timeline with adherence to TPDDL Safety & Quality Ensuring standard of quality and safety Implementing Guidelines Agency empanelled with TPDDL Committing Performance Ratio for Solar Plant for 25 years Ensuring proper generation of Solar Plant AMC including cleaning and comprehensive warranty for 5, 7 or 10 years Ensuring hassle free service and Performance Warranty

Tie Up with Indian Bank  Proposal received from the Indian Bank offering attractive interest rates for TPDDL consumers :-  For individuals, SHGs, NGOs etc.: 10.75 %  For Industrial & Commercial Consumers: 10.25 %  Home loan for consumers installing Rooftop Solar PVs : 9.55% (upto Rs. 75 lakhs) 9.75% (>Rs. 75 lakhs)  Joint Marketing Plan  Subsequently, we would be carrying out joint promotional campaign for the potential target consumers. Following plan has been chalked out :-  Joint visits to potential consumers  Presentations to be delivered during IWA and RWA meets for consumer sensitization  Display about the offer from banks on TPDDL websites  E-Mailers to be sent to the registered consumer base  Leaflets highlighting about the tie-up and scheme to be sent along with the electricity bills

SOLAR PROJECT STATUS  Total 82 cases with cumulative solar capacity of 5.6 MWp are connected with Tata Power Delhi Distribution Grid/ under progress for connection.  TPDDL till date has set up 15 Grid Connected Solar Plants, with a cumulative capacity of 1.78 MW , in its own premises.  40 Awareness Campaigns done covering 1200 nos. of Potential consumers.  Proposals under consideration by Consumers – 59 cases with 3.2 MW

16 Awareness Campaigns  More than 1000 Industrialists & Domestic consumers participated  Presentations have been made to Key Consumers like DJB, DMRC and NDMC. Camps at Camps at various various IWAs RWAs Camps at various IWAs
