Higher renewable energy share may lead to increase in regulatory risk for coal-based projects: Moody’s

04 Jun 2019 Evaluate

Global rating agency Moody’s Investors Service in its latest report has said that the increasing share of renewables in the total energy mix of the country may result in an increase in regulatory risk for coal-based projects over the longer term as pressure mounts to move to a lower carbon economy. It pointed out that the higher share of renewable energy in the total energy mix presents a key regulatory challenge in terms of integrating new renewable capacity, while protecting investments already made in coal-based capacity.

Moody’s said predictability of tariff regulations enhances the credit profile of regulated electric companies and added that the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has been responsive to changes in power sector trends. It also stated that over the last 20 years, regulations for the Indian utilities sector have been progressive and supportive of the power companies, and factored in technological advancements. It added that the regulatory framework in India is more independent, transparent and established versus the framework in Asian peers such as China and Indonesia.

According to the report, regulations in India have also balanced the interests of all stakeholders. It mentioned that the Indian electricity regulations allow a fair return on investment for generation and transmission companies, while ensuring that any benefits from technology, operational efficiency and debt refinancing are shared between the utilities and their customers.
