Overview
Indian Venture Capital Journal (IVCJ) brings to you its first ever conclave on Private Equity & Clean Energy.
With depleting natural energy resources, exploration for newer energy resources occupies the top position on national agendas of countries around the world, pledging billions towards clean energy initiatives. The clean-energy business is metamorphosing into the next big investment boom, with investors racing to finance start-ups in clean technology. According to Venture business research, investments by the private equity and venture capital community have quadrupled in the past two years, from $500 million to almost $2 billion this year so far. Today, India can well be identified as an energy guzzler. It is feared that by 2030, the country will import 94% of its petroleum requirement. Undoubtedly, renewable energy appears to be the most plausible option for the country to rely on.
According to Ernst & Young research, India has become the world's third most attractive market for renewable energy, owing to excellent national and regional government support for both foreign and local investment in renewable technologies. The new RE policy of the Government of India (GOI) aimed at generating 10,000 MW through renewable and a non-conventional source by 2012 is expected to further boost the growth rate of this sector. The government also aims to achieve prevalence of 5% biodiesel by 2007 and 10% by 2010. The GOI has originated plans and strategies for major energy infrastructure developments as well.
The energy sector in India is being perceived as the hottest financing and investment opportunity. It has a vast potential of renewable energy across various sources and today, it is among the world's largest programmes for renewable energy. Globally, India ranks 5th, in terms of exploitable hydro-potential and 4th in wind power generation. India's power sector offers enormous potential for investments with requirements of over US $200 billion in new investments over the next ten years.
India's potential in the thriving energy infrastructure market is also luring governments and private investors, keen to leverage on the project opportunities across all energy sectors. Internationally, new infrastructure investment funds are being created, focusing chiefly on the power and energy sectors. In India, TATA, Reliance and IDFC have been quick to institute funds within the infrastructure space. Energy goliaths, such as Chevron, GE, Shell, and Exxonmobil have been flourishing, developing major projects in India. However, a new group of international players such as fund management firms Warburg Pincus, Blackstone, AMP Capital and Darby Investors, are also emerging on the scene with equal vigour. Specialist investment firms and private equity fund managers such as Global Environmental Fund (GEF) have concentrated for more than a decade on investments in clean energy in India.
Clean energy is envisioned as an opportunity to make a good return on investments. Coupled with the enormous investment requirements to strengthen the domestic energy supply and exploiting the untapped alternate energy sources, a whole plethora of opportunities for the PE&VC community has been thrown wide open. Today, investors can take advantage of the shifting global dynamics, as India spearheads its progress toward a higher standing in the world order.
This conclave is aimed at unveiling the investment opportunities, regulatory scenario, success drivers and innovative funding models in the Indian Clean Energy Sector. |
