CASE STUDY: 5 MW GANDHINAGAR (SOLAR) PHOTOVOLTAIC ROOFTOP PROGRAMME

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT 4 ‘Technology Leapfrogging’ is becoming the trend for governments in aggressively meeting

their renewable energy targets and also marching towards a robust energy economy. While western countries are utilizing renewables, smart grids, energy storage and electric vehicles to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve energy security; the developing nations are adopting these technologies to meet the basic objectives of strengthening the electricity grid and supplying quality power to all its citizens.

4 Hence for any government to adopt a technology, it is critical that the purpose/objectives are well-defined and the programme is well-detailed such that it is in sync with the overall goals and approach of the government.

4 In this era of an overwhelming choices of technology and methodology for their adoption.

4 Prior to 2012, rooftop solar projects were mainly implemented through direct government funding or procurement, and it was widely observed that the performance of such systems was not at their technical best. Hence (due to cost and performance issues), it was obvious that this model would not work for widespread rooftop solar deployment.

4 With this backdrop, GERMI was assigned the task of implementing the 5 MW Gandhinagar (Solar) Photovoltaic Rooftop Programme (the “Programme”) by the Energy and Petrochemicals Department of the Government of Gujarat.

4 GERMI set on the task of re-thinking the entire implementation methodology of rooftop solar programmes and identified its objectives:

• Establish a widespread practice/ philosophy of distributed solar and renewable energy generation,

• Demonstrate technical feasibility of large volume of scattered energy injection into the distribution grid,

• Bring a level of comfort to all stakeholders including the governments, regulators, utilities, developers, homeowners and researchers,

• Showcase economic viability of large-volume rooftop programmes by leveraging public investments, and

• Encourage public participation.

4 As on 31st March 2014, all installations were complete through 38 government buildings and 274 private residences.

4 This public-private partnership Programme is one of the largest rooftop solar programmes in India and serves as a precedence for many similar programmes within and outside Gujarat.

4 With the success of the first 1 MW canal-top solar power project in the world, Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL) wanted to take this concept to the next step - replication at a commercial-scale of 10 MW.

4 GERMI was roped in as an advisor to:

• Check the feasibility of various sites and recommend the most appropriate site for developing the 10 MW project.

• Verify and achieve cost - effectiveness in developing a project on a canal.

• Recommend an appropriate business model for project development.

• Develop tender and other contractual documents to select an appropriate engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.

4 GERMI surveyed various canal locations in Gujarat, and finally recommended the Narmada branch canal passing through Vadodara city for the following reasons:

• Availability of sufficient evacuation substations in close proximity within the city.

• Minimal transmission losses as the generated power would be consumed in the city itself.

• Visibility of this novel concept to the urban population, as the canal passes through residential, industrial and commercials areas.

• Opportunity to demonstrate the concept on an east-west oriented canal (as the earlier 1 MW pilot lies on a north-south oriented canal).
