Stable outlook for solar, negative for wind energy in 2020-21
However, there could be some slippages in construction timelines due to delays in the import of modules from China. New Delhi: The ratings of solar power projects are likely to remain stable next financial year (2020-21) given revenue generation in line with projections and limited exposure to weak counterparties. Also, construction completion of projects with […]
Renewable energy: Curtailment is a bane that must be done away with
