Market-based Model for Renewable Energy

 

 

Congratulations, Shri R K Singhji,

 

Context :

Market-based Model in the Works for Renewable Energy   /  Eco Times  / 09 June

 

Extract :

Ø  The government is examining a radical shift in its renewable energy programme by moving to a market-based mechanism where generators will sell their contracted capacity every day in power exchanges and distribution companies will settle the differential.

Ø  “ The market design shall balance the interests of DISCOMS and DEVELOPERS and also foster technological innovations in bringing renewable energy to market “, the official said

 

Ø  The proposal aims at bringing in competition in green energy space while ensuring investment security, promoting new technologies and giving access to WILLING RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMERS

My Suggestion :

         #  Introduce “ Co-operative Farming of Solar Power / CFSP “ { call it a kind

             of “ Contract Farming “ }

       Incorporate this into just released FARM LAWS to encourage setting- up of

      “ Solar   Power  Farmer Cooperative Society “ along the lines of  Dairy

       Farmers’  AMUL Milk Cooperative Society    

       

                

     #   Solar Farm company can “ Sell “ ownership rights of solar panels

          to individuals in modules of 1000 sq ft, (costing Rs 4- 6 lakh per

          module )

 

                                   

          These rights can be sold / transferred to any buyer, only with

          prior permission of the Solar Farm Company Concerned

             

         

#    My nearest DISCOM will supply me those 10 KW, free of cost ( ie: deduct

      from my monthly usage ) 

      Any excess over my actual consumption, to be credited to my account

            

                  

Not Good Enough ! …………………………………………………………….[ 02 Dec 2017 ]

Anyone can generate and SELL electricity, anytime and to anyone and at any price

Para # 4 :

Ø  Consumers other than Residentials can set up Solar Projects on their Roof / Premises or can give their roof / premises on lease to third party for generation & consumption of power within or OUTSIDE  the premises

Para # 6 :

Ø  A group of consumers can set up solar projects for self-consumption as a COLLECTIVE OWNERSHIP PROJECT and consume the generated solar energy IN THE RATIO of OWNERSHIP

No Godfather for Rooftop Solar ? …………………………………………..[ 01 June 2021 ]

Extract :

 

Dear Shri R K Singhji ( Minister for Power ) :

Ø  It is high time we stop limiting our SOLAR VISION HORIZON like a “ Frog in the Well “

Ø  It is time to remember that the nomenclature : Roof Top Solar “ , somehow ties us down to the words ROOF TOP , which is only just one of the locations which can be used to harness Solar Energy

Ø  Solar Energy can also be harvested at other locations on Earth, such as FARMS , DESERTS, LAKES, MOUNTAIN TOPS, HIGHWAYS , TRAIN TRACKS, etc., or even through solar panels farms in  SPACE ( low earth orbits ? ), beaming electricity down to Earth-based receivers ( using micro-waves ? )

Ø  We must break loose  from the narrowly defined, Roof-Top Solar / Land-based Solar and latch on to the all-encompassing concept of ,

  SOLAR  ENERGY  TRADING INFRASTRUCTURE  

                             ( SETI  )
