The Report
Introduction
The rapid worldwide expansion of Renewable Energy (RE) in recent years has been largely
driven through support policies. Typically, these aim to address market failures in an effort to
promote the uptake of renewable energy while achieving a number of other objectives,
including energy diversification, the development of a local industry and job creation.
2. Renewable Energy Auctions are also known as “demand auctions” or “procurement
auctions” or “Reverse Auction Mechanism”, whereby the government issues a call for
tenders to install a certain capacity of RE based electricity. Those project developers who
participate in the auction submit a bid with a price per unit of electricity at which they are able
to realize the project. The government evaluates the offers on the basis of the price and
other criteria and signs a power purchasing agreement with the successful bidder(s).
3. These types of RE auctions, despite some difficulties in implementation in the past,
have become quite a popular policy tool in the recent years. The number of countries relying
on this type of mechanism has risen from just 9 in 2005 to at least 60 by early 2015 (REN21,
2015).
4. SAARC Energy Centre, Islamabad under its approved programme activity for FY
2018 organized a two day Knowledge Sharing Workshop on “Modern Techniques
including Renewable Energy Auctions for Economizing Renewable Energy Tariff” in
Colombo, Sri Lanka on 9th – 10th May 2018. The event was arranged in Galadari Hotel
Colombo in collaboration with the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy, Colombo,
Government of Sri Lanka. The workshop was inaugurated by Chief Guest, His Excellency
Ajith P. Perera, State Minister of Power and Renewable Energy, Government of Sri Lanka. A
copy of the Workshop Agenda is available at Annexure I.
5. The objective of this workshop was to explore the developments and applications of
different policy and regulatory mechanisms including Renewable Energy (RE) Auctions in
order to identify its benefits and challenges as well as the best practices for its successful
applications in the SAARC Member States. The benefits envisioned included:
a) Achieving increased deployment of renewable electricity; b) Potential for real price discovery; c) Managing transparency in the whole process
6. The workshop helped to establish communication, facilitate professional exchange
and initiate cooperation between policy makers, experts, and other stakeholders from public
and private sectors.

Welcome Address by Director, SEC
10. Mr. Mohammad Naeem Malik, Director, SAARC Energy Centre delivered
Welcome address to the participants of the workshop. He especially thanked Chief Guest,
His Excellency Ajith P. Perera for his gracious presence at the workshop and for
encouraging the SAARC Energy Centre’s endeavors in Energy Sector. He welcomed the
resource persons and all the delegates from SAARC Member States for attending the
workshop.
11. In his address, he informed the participants that Renewable Energy Auctions have
become increasingly popular and have proven to be an effective mechanism for accelerating
renewable power generation in developed and developing countries. This is possible partly
due to the competitive pressure that auctions promote, and has been witnessed in many
cases that prices for solar and wind have plummeted to levels competitive with, and
sometimes even lower than conventional generation types, like coal and gas. Thus, he
emphasized that Member States can design renewable energy auctions to meet energy
sector goals of increased capacity and affordability, while doing so at a scale that enables
industry development and investor interest. He also stated that the requisite enabling
environment for achieving increased RE generation through auctions is very much
dependent on the maturity level of power sector in each member state, which shouldn’t be
overlooked. He mentioned that Renewable Energy Technologies in developing countries
have the potential for a wide range of additional social, economic and environmental
benefits, most importantly helping to extend affordable, reliable and clean energy access to
the 1.75 billion people in this region.
12. He acknowledged the great cooperation extended and kind hospitality provided by
the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy, Sri Lanka and especially to His Excellency
Ajith P. Perera and Dr. B.M.S Batagoda in facilitating SEC to organize this workshop. He
expressed his satisfaction, as the real stakeholders had joined hands for common goal. He
also thanked the high level officials of the Government of Sri Lanka and the delegates and
participants for their presence and for their interest and commitment to the cause of energy
and power.
Inaugural Address by the Chief Guest
13. His Excellency Ajith P. Perera, State Minister of Power and Renewable Energy,
Government of Sri Lanka in his inaugural address as Chief Guest appreciated the
initiatives taken by SAARC Energy Centre in facilitating and coordinating programmes to
enhance energy security, to remove barriers and to build confidence and consensus for
sustainable energy use across the SAARC region. His Excellency emphasized that
Renewable Energy is capable of providing enormous supplies of electricity for Sri Lanka and
the Investments need to be made into the development of RE technologies such as solar,
wind, biomass and a variety of ingenious new ways to improve our efficiency and conserve
presently wasted energy.
6 | P a g e
14. His Excellency, in his final remarks, wished for active participation of all delegates
from SAARC member countries and resource persons of the workshop, and for sharing
information and learning from each other’s experiences in the areas of modern policy tools
of renewable energy. His Excellency wished all the participants of the workshop a very
pleasant stay in Colombo.
Keynote Address by Secretary
15. Dr. B.M.S Batagoda, Secretary to the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy,
Government of Sri Lanka in his keynote address stated that currently all Member States
are energy importing and energy starved. He stated that all Member States have a lot of
potential to generate energy using their own indigenous resources for fulfilling the energy
needs of their people. Each country has very good resources of different types of renewable
energy which is not expensive in long run, doesn’t cause pollution and is abundantly
available.
16. In his remarks, he stated that the goal towards sustainable development must be
based on developing Renewable Energy resources within coming years. This requires all
Member States to overcome many obstacles, adopt new technologies and promote
development of RE technologies all over the SAARC region. At the end of his address, he
appreciated the role of SAARC Energy Centre in arranging workshop, and thanked all the
delegates and resource persons for participating in the workshop. The photographs taken

Mr. Ashwin showed historical trend of solar PV tariff in India; the tariff reduced from
approx.17 cents/kWh to approx. 4 cents/kWh from the year 2011 to 2018. He stated that the
key factors in reducing the tariff has been transparency, uniformity in processes and open
competition in the market. He also gave details on the timelines related to the overall bidding
process, planning and commissioning of Solar PV and Wind projects under competitive
bidding method in India.
ii. Renewable Energy Policies in European Union (EU) – Learning experience Dr. Tommaso Morbiato, Chief Executive Officer, Windcity, Italy
Dr. Tommaso, in his presentation, mentioned the important policy measures including FiT,
Quotas (REC and RPS), Tax incentives and Reverse Auctions which helped in developing
the RE sector in European Union (EU) countries. He mentioned that through EU Energy
Roadmap, by 2020, the EU aims to reduce its GHG emissions by at least 20%, increase the
share of RE to at least 20% of consumption, and achieve energy savings of 20% or more.
Moreover, all EU countries must also achieve a 10% share of RE in their transport sector
which is currently at approx. 7%. He further stated that, with the current progress, the EU
could double the RE share in its energy mix from 17% in 2015 to 34% in 2030.

d) Technical Session 4 - Reverse Auction Mechanism Specification II (Organization,
Implementation and Global practices)
i. Design and implementation of Reverse Auction – Case study of Brazil Mr. Bernardo Folly de Aguiar, Std. of Generation projects, EPE, Brazil
Mr. Bernardo shared detailed information on the key steps of the Brazilian auctioning
process which includes preparing auction guidelines, registration of projects, technical
qualification, online realization of auction, award of contract, registration and PPA signature.
He also gave historical trend of reduction of RE tariffs in Brazilian market for the last 15
years. He stated that the strict qualification rules in the auctioning process tends to lead to
higher success levels in the implementation of the projects, but may reduce the competition.
He also mentioned of a newly adopted approach whereby transmission is planned and
contracted before the new capacity auctions, thus projects are qualified only if there’s grid
capacity.
ii. Auctions and Policy support mechanism - IRENA Ms. Diala Hawila, Associate Programme Officer, IRENA, Abu Dhabi
Ms. Diala, in her presentation, stated that the global average installation costs of RE projects
awarded from auctions are consistently lower than projects processed through FiTs. She
gave an overview of latest electricity tariff of RE (including Solar and Wind) from different
countries around the globe; the Solar PV and on-shore Wind both in range of 3-8 cents/kWh.
She mentioned the four main factors that directly impact the RE tariff which includes country-
specific conditions, Investor confidence & learning curve, RE supported policies and Auction
design. She also gave detailed key considerations before designing and implementing a
reverse auction, and also gave insights of tradeoffs in qualification requirements of the
projects/bidders.
e) Technical Session 5 - Policy instrument: Feed-in tariffs design features and
estimation model
i. Evolution and experience of RPO framework and REC mechanism in India Mr. Ajit Pandit, Director, Idam Infrastructure Advisory (Pvt.) Ltd, India
