Lack of policy implementation out of State PV goals

It is fundamental in modern life that we need the power to accelerate our life. Power, such as electricity, is important for the economy to function. Searching for power is continuous, and more importantly, searching for cheap, clean sources is a constant search. Goa decided to consider solar energy as a viable source of clean energy. It was also sparked by the center's goal of producing 150 megawatts of solar energy in every state by 2022.

There were two options to achieve this goal. Solar roof top installation or ground mounted photovoltaic device. Roofs installed in orphans are limited in scope because of the lack of available space.

However, those who know that the state can produce about 20-25 megawatts by 2022 if the solar roof top plan is implemented with thrust and only interested parties have not done anything without doing anything. talking. To bring power from 120 to 130 megawatts, you have to go from a large plant to megawatts of capacity.

The problem with having the entire initial industry in punk was a small matter of tariffs that had to be addressed. Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission JERC has certain norms for setting tariffs. Because the tariffs set by JERC are higher than the electricity purchase price of the main electricity department, some of the electrical departments responsible for the necessary parts are reluctant.

As far as large plants are concerned, the reversal procedure should be carried out. This will ensure the competitiveness of the bidding parties. There is a need to thoroughly investigate the financial impact of meeting 120 megawatts of solar power. The benefit of solar power is to reduce transmission losses and conserve the environment.

Secondly, open planes to run these huge projects should be specified in the range of 200-240 hectares. At the same time, evaluation of grid for solar power generation should be performed at the same time as land allocation.

A long-standing observer in the power industry said the private sector is keen to produce its own electricity. However, he said the power department is purchasing 3.30 rupees per kilowatt and will not disclose production costs. However, the same department had no problem with selling power at Rs 6 or 8 per kilowatt, depending on load, time and other factors.

He said that other solar energy would be between 5 and 5.25 rupees per kilowatt, and as the capacity increases, the power would be lower. Goa Govt believed that the industrial real estate would have to be reorganized to create its own power within the real estate or on the collective land allocated to real estate.

GEDA, former deputy director general of GEDA, said, "It is necessary to explore the possibilities of solar storage devices that can be employed after sunset. GEDA has finalized solar energy policy in December of last year in cooperation with the electricity department. But it has not escaped the scope it has to fulfill. "

Sources say the industry has not taken off from Goa, and many of the solar installation cases are still pending. They confirmed that the country's solar energy policy would be revised again and processed promptly at the earliest possible time.

Perhaps you can get an idea of ​​the motivating absence to achieve the goal of this campaign as a full-time secretary after retiring from Patak. The important thing is that it takes time to reorganize and merge the executive officers.

There are delays in the installation of the solar system roof model due to tariffs that have reported 60-70 people with all disabilities but have not yet been fixed.

Anish Sousa runs the Goa-based company Sun360 to consult, design and install solar and hot water throughout Goa, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

"The government has made great progress in passing the solar policy in December 2017, but it has been almost a year, and despite the consumer's interest, several applications have just passed," Sousa said. We have successfully connected the first hybrid solar power plant in Wong Goa to the grid, but PPA has not been signed with customers until now. "

He talked about the policy and felt it very important to make clear about the solar policy and the subsidy provided to the customer. Currently, policy paralysis is unnecessarily causing doubts in the minds of customers. He said it is important to establish a PPA early and state the tax exemption on tariff rates, PPA terms and the sale of power by consumers.

Renewable purchasing obligation (RPO) can be met by government systems installed in government and non-government buildings and private solar farms without government capital investments. The government does not have to spend money to raise 125MW of solar power from NTPC. The government's efforts to install 410 KW in the substation building here should be commended. But for the industry to grow exponentially, governments must work to build clear policies without leaving their eyes on how to set up their own infrastructure.

Sousa also felt that online applications for solar connections had to start. You need to set up and enforce strict timelines.

Margao's Surya Akshay Urja Shop believes that since 2009, Mario Abreu, owner of Goa's first solar store, wants to implement a solar policy because he wants customers to implement it.

Abreu said, "This delay is painful, we are here, we are a promised subsidy and have not yet been completed. Delays are painful."

According to the policy, small prosumers, ie solar power plants up to 100 kW in size, require the state to recoup the lower of the capital cost or benchmark cost provided by MNRE to an interest-free loan, and six months after the outage After the restoration is made by paying the generator per kWh supplied to the grid. The number of times is Rs 4 per kWh or less of the JERC supply. The state must provide subsidies for stand-alone systems at rates as low as 30% of capital costs or benchmark costs provided by MNRE for facilities up to 100 kW. It will be paid once within six months, depending on Rs 1 per unit generated. In order to measure solar power generation, it is necessary to install a sealed tested GED in the form of an energy meter on the generator side. They shall not be paid to such producers under the net / total metric method to avoid the possibility of double gain. Finally, for small generators, the meter is rented for a monthly fee. For large generators, certified / approved meters must be procured at the expense.

Despite the government's lag, people are interested in knowing the administration of the southern orphanage. "Thirty people in the south are sensitive and have four or five temporary connections, but tariffs must be set in order to develop this industry."
