Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has floated an expression of interest (EoI) document, evincing
interest to “invite bids for allocation of project capacities, from prospective solar manufacturers who are
willing to set up vertically integrated solar PV module manufacturing facility in India, including ingots,
wafers, cells, and modules.”
MNRE recently announced its roadmap for achieving 175 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by
2022, which would require setting up of solar power plants of 77 GW capacity by 2020, entailing an
investment of Rs 3,50,000 crore.
The 20 GW solar manufacturing tender was also a part of this roadmap. The government wants big chunk
of raw materials and equipment to be used in the 77 GW capacity be made in India.

In case renewable energy capacity reaches 125 GW by 2022, coal demand growth would be at around a
CAGR of 3.6%, assuming power demand growth as 5% CAGR. In absolute terms, coal production is expected
to touch 1,003 million tonnes in 2022 from 839 tonnes in 2017.

Modi, who also holds the finance and environment and forest portfolios, stated that the work on installing separate feeders for
irrigation under the Centre's Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana, at an estimated cost of Rs 6,000 crore, had begun.
He said that in the next two years, farmers will not require diesel (to run pumpsets for fetching water) for irrigation. Rather, they will opt
for electricity-based irrigation.

Enea opened a 1,075 MW capacity unit built by Japan's Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems at its Kozienice
plant to join a dozen other units in the 250-300 MW range at the site.
The B11 section is the largest and most modern in Europe," said the firm's head of production Krzysztof
Figat. Total capacity at the plant, which uses some three million tons of coal annually, mainly from the
Bogdanka mine in southern Poland, is now nearly 4,000 MW.
As well as the major plant at Kozienice, Poland is home to Europe's largest plant at Belchatow near the
city of Lodz, one of the largest coal-fired plants in the world. Coal remains a sector of primary
importance in Poland, employing some 100,000 people.Coal and lignite account for around 90 percent of
Polish energy production.
