7. Why Offshore? Potential to significantly contribute to renewable generation & COP commitment Generates jobs, supply chain opportunities and taxes Large additional area for wind generation Potential for exports (foundations, steel etc.) Attracts new foreign investment State of the art technology with major cost reductions Takes advantage of stronger, more reliable offshore winds 7 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

8. UK has over half of the global offshore wind 8 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

9. Cost reductions are driving capacity growth Installed capacity MW 9 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

10. Components of an Offshore Wind Farm 10 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

11. Offshore Wind Farm up to 2 Gigawatts 11 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

12. Stakeholder Engagement, November 2015 12 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

13. Industry Consultation General opinions and comments from Indian consultees: Turbine suppliers could be interested in development Would need site commitment if tendering for met mast Want government to take the lead in; Supply of data Clearances and EIA guidelines De-risking the process and political certainty Providing evidence of a pipeline and ambition for OSW Low Gujarat wind speeds Good TN speeds Need data Accept that costs will initially be high and need tariff Willing and able to provide significant local content 13 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

14. Industry Consultation EU Developers DONG Energy Interest in India but in the longer term currently busy with UK, USA and Netherlands Would need a business case to attract them to the market tariffs, seabed lease fees, wind resource, further opportunities Need project terms to allow flexibility in technical details and the timing of milestones Need to be able to divest of projects once operational and lower risk 14 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

15. Industry Consultation EU Developers RES Offshore (Renewable Energy Systems) Interested in India s future market Three key issues, authorities need to: Give confidence and certainty in the new market De-risk projects Provide visibility of opportunity to develop long term pipeline Strategy must offer scale and volume to develop and maintain a supply chain and pipeline of projects Permitting/consenting regulatory regime that is streamlined and efficient one stop shop Helpful for government to fund environmental / technical studies but must consult with developers 15 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

16. Indias Offshore Wind Programme

17. Roadmap Timeline Targets and Pipeline 17 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

18. Project Concession Competition

19. Options for Concession Tendering Developer led applications for any desired project/location Developer led applications within State defined strategic areas or blocks State led tenders for individual projects/sites Applications either ad-hoc or during specific time periods 19 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

20. Competition for Defined Blocks Benefits Gov t can strategically plan Any delays in demarcation/approvals is before dev application Lower risk to developers as more is known upfront so FDI is more likely Closer to NELP approach which companies may be more comfortable with Bids judged on technical proposals as well as commercial/finance specifics Drawbacks More upfront effort and expense required by MNRE/NIWE Longer time before met mast is in the water 20 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

21. Concession Timeline June 2017 earliest date for bidding process to start Driven by wind data Public announcement min. 3 months before PQQ PQQ 4 months Full bid 7 months 21 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

22. Concession Competition: Existing Data & Activities NIWE INCOIS/NCSCM/NIOT/NIO GEOLOGY etc. Minimum +1 year on-site LiDar Wind resource data Waves & currents Seabed conditions (soil, geology and depth) Other Marine Stakeholders MOD Dept. of Shipping Aviation Oil & Gas 22 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

23. Concession Competition: Industrys Voice Dedicated website: Where developers can register their interest and be kept abreast on the opportunities and relevant offshore wind consultation events. In depth industry consultation prior to formal bid competition, to inform and fine tune the bid competition process does it make sense? Government is able to obtain feedback and gauge interest in the offshore wind bids before announcement and take steps to amend the process or increase interest if necessary from the feedback from developers. Will provide feedback and planning time for companies to understand regulations, evaluate risks, and undertake financial modelling to put together a business case. Establishment of an offshore wind energy trade association. 23 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

24. Concession Competition: Applicants The competition should apply a broad definition of Developer , permitting companies to: Local and foreign companies bid singly or in consortium with other companies, be large utility companies, venture capitalist organisation or EPC contractor The tender competition should be structured but also allow for flexibility to stimulate Developers submission of innovative solutions and the most commercially competitive tender. Undergo a pre-qualification process which assessesthe financial strength, technical ability, and track record in the delivery of infrastructure and energy projects 24 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

25. Competition for New Projects Block selection by FOWIND/NIWE/MNRE Strategic decision made after reviewing existing data, LIDAR data, uses of the sea & consultation (MSP) Available data supplied to bidders upfront 25 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

26. Pre-Qualification Consortium members Company info, consortium governance, balance of local vs international, corporate relation between partners Commitment of resources What criteria Technical expertise; design, engineering, operations, maintenance Capability to deliver large projects; project management and corporate structure Experience; offshore O&G/wind/infrastructure/power scale and cost of projects Financial strength; audited financial records/balance sheet for previous 5 years? Credit? Evaluation weighting Focus on project delivery and financial strength want developers able to carry project through Management structure and capability is key as most other things can be contracted out 26 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

36. Support Mechanisms for Offshore Wind Project specific tariff is based on Central Electricity Regulatory Commission Tariff Regulations of 17 Sept. 2009 Cl 16 provides for a pre-tax return on equity of: 19% per annum for the first 10 years 24% per annum 11th years onwards Proposed additional support: Government funds evacuation using Green Corridor grants Debt on attractive terms from public sector banks Free inter-state transmission Bundling of offshore wind and coal / solar to enhance affordability 36 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

37. Offshore Transmission

38. Offshore transmission Who builds, owns & operates offshore electrical transmission infrastructure? Offshore wind farm developer or a grid operator? No precedent in India In UK, OFTOs take responsibility for offshore transmission assets under long-term licences. Pros for India Cons for India Proven and has successfully delivered 2.5 bn of investment in transmission Introduces additional interface between the OFTO and the developer. Adds complexity. Developers freed from providing finance for the transmission link Developer may feel revenue dependent on 3rd party adds risk. Reduces costs through competition and appropriate allocation of risks independent body required to run OFTO tender and regulate the OFTO. Attracted global bidders and accessed low cost capital not currently willing to invest in wind. Cost of OFTO tender may be significant Can either be generator build (model used in the UK so far) or OFTO build. OFTO approach would need to be adapted to fit in with Indian legal framework and power sector 38 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

39. Summary Points

43. Concession Timeline 43 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants

44. International Approach to Issuing Concessions Belgium Applications to Commission for the Regulation of Electricity and Gas (CREG) are made for individual, developer defined site areas within a zone, specifically allocated for offshore wind development by the government s marine spatial planning. The zone has been completely filled and the country s busy waters mean that further projects, outside of this zone, are likely to be feasible. Denmark The competitive tender is judged predominantly on the price of electricity of the bid. Sites are selected and initially developed by the government (Danish Energy Authority - DEA), providing site data for feasibility assessment, engineering and EIA. The onshore and offshore electrical transmission system is provided and operated by the state owned transmission system operator. The DEA also has an open door policy for ad hoc applications. France Competitive tender for state defined project sites, with a large emphasis on the bid price of electricity for each applicant. Germany Ad hoc project applications submitted to the Bundesamt fur Seeschifffahrt und Hydrogaphie (BSH translates to Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, a government agency), with proposals needing to fit with national Marine Spatial Planning and within pre-determined offshore wind development zones. Applications are judged on BSH s published standards, findings of the EIA, and impacts on sea users. Approvals are given on a first come first served basis. Netherlands Similar to Denmark, a new competitive tendering process is being introduced that will be judged on price of electricity. Tenders are offered for specific projects within planned offshore wind zones. The government provides the site data for EIA and engineering. The Transmission System Operator (TSO) builds and operates the onshore and offshore grid infrastructure. Sweden Ad hoc applications may be made, provided that the requested project sites comply with the country s marine spatial plan. There is little policy in place for offshore wind as Sweden has many other renewable energy resources that are exploitable at a lower price. Despite being the first country in the world to research offshore wind, the industry s progress has almost halted. United Kingdom Competitive tender judged on ability to successfully deliver a project rather than the cheapest price. Originally a developer led site selection process but now switched to a strategic zonal approach with developers selecting sites within zones. USA Auction process for project areas, where competition between applicants is deemed to exist. Project areas are pre- determined by the federal government and offered on a state-by-state basis. Auction judged by the highest price offered for project area. If no competition exists from other bids, negotiations for lease terms commence. The USA has a very complex concession and permitting process, which has led to very slow progress being made. 44 IT Power Consulting Seachange Offshore CmY Consultants
