The recently granted renewable power status and budgetary support for infrastructure associated with large hydro projects is a major positive move, research agency ICRA said. The centre has declared large hydro power projects with capacity of more than 25 MW as renewable energy projects. It has approved a separate HPO under non-solar renewable power obligation to cover large hydro power projects commissioned post notification of the norms. The government has approved HPO and tariff rationalisation norms with the objective to promote large hydro projects, given the slowdown in addition of new capacities in this segment over the past few years. The annual HPO trajectory will be notified by the ministry of power with required amendments to the existing tariff policy and regulations. The tariff rationalisation measures include providing flexibility to the developers to back-load tariff, increasing debt repayment period to 18 years and escalating tariff by two percent. Also, the budgetary support for funding cost of supporting infrastructures such as roads and bridges will be on a case-to-case as per actuals, subject to a limit of Rs15 mn per MW for hydro power projects up to 200 MW and Rs10 mn per MW for hydro power projects above 200 MW. Budgetary support will also be provided for funding flood moderation component of hydro power projects on a case-to-case basis.

28 March. Japan has extended state-backed insurance to cover imports of oil from Iran, potentially allowing the country’s refiners to continue loading crude cargoes from the Middle Eastern nation. The rollover of the insurance was approved by parliament and takes effect from April for one year. While the rollover provides insurance cover for imports that Japanese shippers cannot otherwise obtain, refiners are unlikely to load Iranian cargoes from April unless they get a waiver from the United States (US) on sanctions re-imposed on Iran last year. Japanese refiners have been pushing the government to seek an extension of the US sanctions waivers after an initial 180-day exemption period expires in early May.

South Korean utilities will be allowed to use biofuel oil for power generation as part of the government’s efforts to reduce emissions and encourage the usage of cleaner energy sources, the energy ministry said. The ministry revised a petroleum business law last year to allow power utilities to use biofuel oil as an alternative fuel source to generate electricity. The revised law came into force from 1 January 2019, but the process of verifying quality of biofuel oil took longer. The usage of this oil for power will be effective from 15 March, the ministry said. The use of biofuel oil will be at the discretion of utilities, the ministry said. South Korea mainly supplies electricity with coal and nuclear power, and fuel oil power makes up only a small portion of the country’s electricity needs.

29 March. Tamil Nadu may regain the top slot in total installed capacity in renewable energy as the state has bright prospects for capacity addition in wind and solar sectors in the coming year. Last year, Karnataka had toppled Tamil Nadu. Karnataka is the top State with a total installed capacity of 13,042 MW as of January 2019, while the same for Tamil Nadu is 12,125 MW. Tamil Nadu, however, is the leader in wind capacity, while Karnataka occupies the top position in the solar segment. Helped by faster installations in the solar sector and significant improvement in wind capacity, Karnataka has risen to the top position from the fifth rank about four years ago. According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), in September 2015, Tamil Nadu was the leader in renewable energy with a total capacity of 8,466 MW, while Karnataka’s capacity was 4,606 MW. A renewable energy consulting firm Bridge to India expects a total capacity addition of 15,860 MW in the renewable sector in India in 2019. In solar, 1,872 MW of new solar capacity is expected to come in Tamil Nadu, while Karnataka is expected to add 1,555 MW. The overall capacity addition in the wind sector is expected at 2,300 MW in 2019 and almost all this new capacity is expected to come up in Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.
