Publication: CleanTechnica Edition: Online Web Published Date: 12 Nov Page No.: India's Tata Power To Float Separate Company For Renewable Energy Assets https://cleantechnica.com//11/11/indias-tata-power-float-separate-company-renewable-energy-assets/ In a clear sign of increasing financial competitiveness of renewable energy projects vis-a-vis conventional power plants, one of India's leading private sector power generators has carved out all its renewable energy assets into a separate company. Tata Power has announced the launch of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited as a separate company that will own and operate all the renewable energy assets of the parent company. Tata Power will transfer control of renewable energy assets to Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited. Upon the completion of the transfer, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited will control the operational capacity of 720 MW and the under construction capacity of 250 MW. According to media reports, the new company will also look for equity investments and scout for candidates for acquisition. Tata Power is the second private sector generator in the last few months that has shifted away from conventional power technologies and towards renewable energy technologies. Earlier, Reliance Power, which operates one of the largest coal-based power plants in India, was reportedly planning to sell its coal mines in Indonesia. The company has been struggling to take several large-scale thermal power plants online. It was embroiled in a lengthy regulatory tussle for increasing the tariff of its Sasan-based ultra mega power plant. The company wants the tariff of the projects increased after prices of the coal it imports from Indonesia increased. Tata Power itself has had a long regulatory battle to get the tariffs of its Mundra-based 4 GW coal-fired power plant revised, again on account of higher coal prices from Indonesia and appreciation of the US dollar against the Indian rupee. Tata Power could possibly not have chosen a better time to field the new company. India's conventional power sector is struggling with massive debts, both on the generator as well as the buyer side. Tariffs for renewable energy projects are increasing, while capital costs are falling, making them highly cost-competitive. Tata Power's announcement came only days after the government announced a rescue package for the power distribution companies which are struggling with $65.3 billion debt. The government has directed banks not to provide any additional funding to these companies. The renewable energy sector, on the other hand, has received substantial support from the government. One of the most recent measures announced by the government was to remove taxes and charges levied on the inter-state transmission of power generated from renewable energy projects.. Page 48 of 73

The move forms a part of the company's restructuring process to better focus on renewable energy capacity addition. The assets include 376.5MW of wind assets in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, 3MW solar asset in Mulshi and 120MW of waste heat recovery based power plants at Haldia, West Bengal. The projects including 11.3MW Bramhanvel, 50.4MW Khandke, 50.4MW Samana, 50.4MW Gadag, 10MW Visapur, 17.5MW Sadawaghapur, 49.5MW Agaswadi and 3MW of solar assets at Mulshi will be added to TPREL. Additionally, 17MW Supa, 21MW Nivede, 99MW Poolavadi and 120MW Haldia are being transferred to four special-purpose vehicle companies which would be wholly owned companies of TPREL. Tata Power CEO Anil Sardana said: "The company continuously evaluates various structures for its businesses to deliver better value to its shareholders by unlocking and enhancing operational synergies. "We aim to create a focused, clean and renewable energy business in TPREL with its own growth trajectory. Since the aggregation of renewable assets is being done to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, the shareholders in the parent company shall have the same or better value accruing to them as earlier, even after the proposed restructuring." The company's restructuring will be achieved through a scheme of arrangement under Sections 391 and Section 394 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. TPREL is the primary vehicle through which Tata Power will achieve its goal of generating 20-25 % of electricity from clean energy sources. The current installed capacity of TPREL is 220MW, with 250MW of renewable energy projects under construction. Page 50 of 73

More specifically, the company will transfer 376.5 MW of wind assets and 120 MW of waste heat recovery-based power plants along with a 3-MW solar array to Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL). The latter already owns 158 MW of wind farms and 54 MW of solar parks that are in operation and also has 250 MW of projects in the construction phase. "We aim to create a focused clean and renewable energy business in TPREL with its own growth trajectory," said Anil Sardana, CEO and managing director of Tata Power. The planned transfer of assets will also allow TPREL to tap different and competitive sources of capital to fund its growth plans, Tata Power added. The renewables business will pursue an expansion both through organic and inorganic means over the next few years. The group noted it will be using TPREL as the primary vehicle through which it is to meet its objective for clean energy sources to account for 20%-25% of its total generation capacity. The proposed restructuring of Tata Power's renewable energy assets is pending corporate and regulatory nods. Page 52 of 73

The company will bring its 500MW of renewable energy assets, including wind and solar, under a new subsidiary called Tata Power Renewable Energy. The restructuring, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, will pave the way for private equity (PE) investors in Tata Power Renewable Energy as the parent seeks funds to ramp up capacity of the clean energy arm through greenfield projects and also through acquisitions. India's clean energy sector is the new gold rush for marquee PE funds that are putting in millions of dollars after Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a target to have 60GW of wind energy and 100GW of solar power by 2022 - up from current levels of 25GW and 4GW respectively. To boost the sector, the government has permitted 100% foreign investment and is offering tax breaks. Two weeks ago, Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund invested $200 million in ReNew Power, marking its first investment in the country's renewable energy space. Some months ago, Japan's SoftBank entered this space too in partnership with Bharti Enterprises. Page 53 of 73

The fund-raising will help in financing the unit's growth plans as the Anil Sardana-led Tata Power intends to have a quarter of its total generation capacity come from renewables. It couldn't be ascertained whether Tata Power's overseas renewables ventures like the wind energy unit in South Africa and the geothermal projects in Australia and Indonesia will be brought under the new outfit. "The company continuously evaluates various structures for its businesses to deliver better value to its shareholders by unlocking and enhancing operational synergies.

The assets include 376.5 MW of wind assets in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, 3 MW solar asset in Mulshi and 120 MW of waste heat recovery based power plants at Haldia in West Bengal. The proposed structuring involves carving out of 500 MW of renewable assets of the Company to its subsidiary Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. (TPREL) and its subsidiaries. The proposed structuring is sought to be implemented by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme) under Sections 391 and Section 394 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The renewable wind assets, namely Bramhanvel (11.3 MW), Khandke (50.4 MW), Samana (50.4 MW), Gadag (50.4 MW),Visapur (10 MW),Sadawaghapur (17.5 MW),Agaswadi (49.5 MW) and solar assets at Mulshi (3 MW) are proposed to be aggregated in TPREL. Additionally, Supa (17 MW) (Renewable Energy Undertaking No. 2), Nivede (21 MW), Poolavadi (99 MW) and Haldia (120 MW) are being transferred to four SPV companies which would be wholly owned companiess of TPREL. On this development, Anil Sardana, CEO MD, Tata Power, said, The Company continuously evaluates various structures for its businesses to deliver better value to its shareholders by unlocking and enhancing operational synergies. Towards this objective, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved a scheme of arrangement of the Companys renewable assets portfolio of wind, solar and production gases by consolidating them under the renewable arm namely Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. We aim to create a focused clean and renewable energy business in TPREL with its own growth trajectory. Since the aggregation of renewable assets is being done to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the shareholders in the parent company shall have the same or better value accruing to them as earlier, even after the proposed restructuring. TPREL proposes to grow its capacity through organic and inorganic means over the next few years. TPREL is the primary vehicle through which Tata Powers goal of 20-25% generation capacity from clean energy sources will be achieved. The current installed capacity of TPREL is 220 MW (158 MW of wind and 54 MW of Solar) with 250 MW of renewable energy projects under construction. Post structuring, the total installed capacity of TPREL will be about 720 MW with additional 250 MW under construction. Other existing waste heat recovery based power plants of the company in certain JVs are also intended to be aggregated, subject to appropriate approvals and consents. The proposed restructuring is subject to necessary corporate/regulatory approvals, documentation and other details to be finalised. This move will help in positioning TPREL as the primary clean and renewable energy vehicle. Further, the proposed transfer of the renewable energy business of the Company to TPREL would enable TPREL to tap different and competitive sources of capital to fund its growth plans. This would also enable TPREL and subsidiaries to pursue captive generation opportunities if available, subject to receipt of necessary approvals and compliance. Page 61 of 73

Tata Power is set to bring renewable energy assets, including solar and wind energy up to 500 megawatts under a new name, Tata Power Renewable Energy. The reconstruction was subject to a shareholder and regulations approval. It will cover private equity investors to the power company as the mother company seeks funding to boost its capacity to green energy through acquisitions and rural projects. The clean energy division of India is the new gold mine for private equity funds. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a goal for the country to have 100GW of solar power and 60GW of wind energy on or before 2022, private equity funds are now making millions of dollars through investments. To boost India's clean energy sector, the government permitted foreign investments with tax breaks. Inclined to its investments, Abu Dhabi has invested $200 million to ReNew Power a couple of weeks ago, marking the first renewable energy space investment. Also, SoftBank of Japan entered India's clean energy sector with a partnership made with Bharti Enterprises a couple of months ago. Tata Power will be looking at share sales to PE private equity investors in the renewable energy business once it reaches a reasonable extent, as it will aid deriving striking compensations. After the restructuring, the power company will be generating 750 megawatts of renewable energy together with a facility that is still under construction, which will provide 250 megawatts of clean and renewable energy. Although, it could not be ascertained that the power company's venture overseas for renewable energy like South Africa's wind energy unit and Australia's geothermal energy along with Indonesia will be accepted through the new structure of Tata Power. "We aim to create a focused clean and renewable energy business in TPREL with its own growth trajectory,"tata Power Managing Director Anil Sardana said. Thecompany continues to check other structures for its clean energy business to give better value to its shareholders by enhancing and unlocking operational collaborations. In this regard, the company's board of directors approved an arrangement scheme for renewable energy assets such as solar, wind, and gasses through consolidation under Tata Power Renewable Energy's namesake.
