November 2, 2023
Key Takeaways
- C&I market significantly untapped – accounts for just 6% of the total renewable power purchases
- Captive open access the most preferred route – i.e. procuring power for captive consumption from private renewable players using govt. transmission facilities
- C&I consumer perspective – low investment, significant cost savings, return of upfront investment in 2-3 years, green energy credentials
- Investor perspective – well-diversified risk, stronger IRRs (15%-17%) vis-à-vis utility play, easily available project financing (65% – 75% of each project)
- InvIT play possible from day 1, effectively making it a development platform and increasing returns further
