Nominations open for CSP Today India awards 2013
The inaugural CSP Today India awards ceremony takes place on March 12, and CSP developers, EPCs, suppliers and technology providers can now be nominated.
CSP has made tremendous progress since the announcement of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in 2010. With Phase I projects now drawing closer to completion, the first milestone in India's CSP learning curve is drawing closer. CSP Today has chosen the next CSP Today India conference (12-13 March, New Delhi) as the time for the industry to reflect upon its progress and celebrate its first achievements.
At the awards ceremony, industry leaders will be recognized for their achievements in one of 4 categories: CSP India Developer Award, CSP India Engineering Performance Award, CSP India Technology and Supplier Award, and the prestigious CSP India Personality of the Year.

I am particularly excited to launch the CSP India Personality of the Year award, a distinguished honor for the industry figure deemed worthy by their peers."

The country's target to harness 10,000 MW of hydropower by 2020 got a huge boost with the Government of India giving a green signal for the construction of four hydropower projects. This was decided at the 12th Empowered Joint Group (EJG). The four projects are the 600MW Kholongchhu, the 570MW Wangchhu, the 770 MW Chamkharchhu, and the 180MW Bunakha, all of which will be undertaken as joint venture projects between public sector companies of India and Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC) with 50 per cent equity shareholding each. However, the financing would be done on a 70 per cent loan and 30 per cent equity basis. This means that DGPC and the public sector companies from India would be investing 15 per cent each to make the 30 per cent equity. The two investors will also have to seek 70 per cent loan.
