All rights reserved. Solar Grid Parity – When? The point at which grid parity occurs is a function of the rate of increase in conventional power prices and the rate of decrease in solar prices We expect landed cost of conventional energy to consumers to increase over the next decade at the rate of 4% p.a. in base case and 5.5% p.a. in an aggressive case This factors in increasing proportion of raw material imports, cost of greenfield generation and network assets and improvements in operational efficiencies of the utilities We expect solar prices to decline at the rate of 5-7% p.a over the next decade This factors in increasing economies of scale in equipment manufacturing and advancements in product technology thereby improving solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency Note: We expect to reach grid parity in about the same time in the case of CSP too

According to a KPMG study, these three drivers could mean the following… 1.Solar power can potentially meet 7% of India’s power requirement in next ten years 2.It can mitigate 2.6% of India’s carbon emissions 3.It can enhance India’s energy security by reducing dependence on energy imports Oil imports stand at around 75% Coal imports expected to increase from 15% to 30% in next 5 years Solar energy can offset 20% of India’s coal imports and save 5% of India’s diesel consumption annually within 10 years, which can result in cumulative savings of USD 25 billion over the next 10 years 23
