TENDER NOTICE FOR
INVESTMENT PROSPECTUS PREPARATION MEETING GREEN BONDS/CLIMATE BONDS CERTIFICATION
REQUIREMENT FOR MOBILIZING FINANCING FOR EFFICIENT GRID CONNECTED SOLAR PUMPS IN SELECTED
STATES OF INDIA
|
Background:
According to India’s second Biennial Update Report (BUR) to the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) India emitted 2607.49 million tonnes CO 2 e (excluding LULUCF) and 2306.3 million
tonnes CO 2 e (including LULUCF) in 2014. Out of the total emissions, the energy sector accounted for 73% of
the emissions. India has set ambitious Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets of installing 40% of
renewable energy capacity by 2030. and reducing emission intensity of the economy by 33-35% by 2030
compared to 2005. India has around 19 million grid connected pump-sets that contribute to GHG emissions
due to consumption of electricity generated using fossil fuels mostly coal. Replacing these pumps with solar
pumps can lead to reducing GHG emissions along with water savings in case farmers are paid for selling
electricity generated using the solar panels. The European Union is implementing a programme titled
“Strategic Partnerships for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement (SPIPA)” with Ministry of Environment,
Forest and Climate Change to scale up climate policy collaborations and promote the implementation of the
Paris Agreement.
Objectives:
As part of the area on mitigation component, project is focusing on enabling mobilization of financing for grid
connected efficient solar pumping project in selected districts of three states leading to GHG emission
reductions.
The specific objectives of the work are as follows:
- Technical evaluation and stakeholder survey in three states for project implementation.
- Investment prospectus Preparation meeting Climate Bonds Initiative or comparable greenbond
certification requirement for Mobilizing Financing for Grid Connected efficient Solar Pumps in selected
states of India.
States selected i.e. Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh have different models of solarization i.e.
solarization of existing pumps; feeder level solarization; and solarisation with replacement with BLDC pump.
Therefore, separate methodologies will have to be adopted in surveys and analysis. As Andhra Pradesh has
already installed BLDC pumps a comparative technical analysis and survey of farmers would be required.
Please refer to the bidding conditions and follow the instructions carefully.
