• • • •

Commercial bank lending

Low commercial bank lending to renewable energy projects is a major reason for low availability of debt.

Only 1/3rd public sector banks and even worse only 1/5th of private sector lend to renewable energy projects. This session will talk on • Problems faced by small and foreign developers in raising debt financing as relationships play strong role in Indian Banking • Should renewable energy sector exposure limits be decoupled from the power or energy sector?

• Banks limit their exposure to the sector due to unfamiliarity with renewable energy policy and markets. Way forward?

Equity Market

This panel explores important developments in equity market, recent M&A’s and their strategies • How are equity markets likely to evolve for renewable energy?

• Impact of variable rate debt on cost of equity due to increased risks?

• Low debt equity spreads not acknowledging the higher risks assumed by equity holders • Effect of technology maturity & strategic positioning on required returns • Do we see industry consolidation and mergers and acquisitions?

• IPOs and exit strategies

Policy Matters

This session analyses the impact of Indian policies on the attractiveness of renewable energy investments to various classes of investors • Poor finances of State electricity boards (SEB) and its impact on renewable energy financing in those states like Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar (despite of good renewable energy potential) • Elevated risk free rates due to high government borrowings – leading to increased costs of debt • Positive impacts of accelerated depreciation benefit and 10 year tax holidays.

• Concessional Excise and Customs duty – how much will it benefit the industry?

• WTO Rules – local vs. international sourcing; anti-dumping duty and solar trade wars

This session will explore the developer’s perspective on seeking finance – pathway, challenges, availability and their requirements • Challenges faced by them in procuring the right finance • How accessible are pension funds and private equity ?

• New financing Models and their perception on it • Problems faced due to unavailability of fixed interest debt • Access to foreign lending • Raising finance through green bonds, debt funds • FIT vs. REC vs. Competitive biddings

D B

Debt financing

•

Problem of low availability of long tenor debts leading to significant increase in cost of debt Weak corporate bond markets due to – government regulations, under developed financial market of India and hence, low liquidity, Do we have enough availability to finance the renewable energy potential of the country Non-recourse financing vs. Balance Sheet Financing

•

• •

Developers Perspective

Path forward for Renewables

•

Do we have sufficient resources to finance the ultra mega projects?

Solar cities and green energy corridors – Vision and the way to finance it How are micro-grids and roof top installations being financed?
