Recommendation
• For the MHP above 100 kW capacities, direct subsidy
is not recommended. Because:
– Cannot fully utilize the capacity
– In case of grid connection, it become commercially viable
– It discourage the IPPs
• To encourage the construction of such viable projects,
it is strongly recommended to provide indirect subsidy
for carrying out feasibility study, detailed project
report (DPR) and even Technical assistance for
construction.
• Further, these projects should be supported with soft
credit facilities.
Justifications of Proposed Subsidy
• Different social parameters are considered,
such as: wholesale price index, decline in the
capital costs due to learning curve and
improvement in the RETs, disparity in the
human development indices, gender
inequality, and deprivation to income
generation in different sub-regions
• The proposed subsidy is within the threshold
of 80:20.
Issues to be Discussed
• Excluding of subsidy for >100kW
• Base cost
