The deserts of Rajasthan have long been known for their spare beauty and their intense sunshine. Now that sun is being turned into a surge of solar power expansion that may one day power not just Rajasthan but a wide swath of India with clean energy. Rajasthan, with its 300 days a year of sunshine and relatively cheap desert land, has set a goal even more ambitious than Indias. In this years state budget, the newly formed state government announced it hoped to install 25,000 megawatts of solar energy in the state within the next five years, and infrastructure to transmit that power to the national grid. Rajasthan is no newcomer to renewable energy. Since the 1990s, the state has been home to a range of wind energy projects, with about 2,800 megawatts of wind capacity now installed, out of an estimated potential capacity of 5,000 megawatts. Altogether wind power in Rajasthan accounts for about 13 percent of Indias wind energy production. But Rajasthans Great Indian Thar Desert, the test site for Indias first underground explosion of a nuclear weapon 15 years ago, may now help make India a solar power as well. The desert set in Rajasthans largest district Jaisalmer, near the border with Pakistan, it is a place of sand dunes and shrub thickets – but also, increasingly, solar installations that could help change the character of Indias energy development. India committed at the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations in Copenhagen in 2009 to reduce its climate-changing emissions, per unit of GDP, by 20 to 25 percent by 2020, compared to 2005 levels. The country is currently the worlds seventh largest emitter of global warming pollution and the fifth biggest producer of emissions from burning fossil fuels. Sixty-eight percent of those emissions from fossil fuel use come from creating energy for the worlds second most populous country, according to Indias energy ministry. Today the country has 2.28 million megawatts of power generating capacity, and about 12.4 percent of that comes from renewable energy. Of the 2,632 megawatts of solar power now installed in India, Rajasthan so far has only 730 megawatts, putting it in second place behind the state of Gujarat, with 916 megawatts, according to Indias Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. But Rajasthan, Indias largest state and 60 percent covered by sunny desert, is now attracting the worlds interest as a solar hotspot. Around 1 lakh (100,000) square kilometers of barren land is available in the northwest arid belt of the state at cheaper rates that could be utilized for large scale solar projects. The government is formulating the policy to harness the enormous solar potential of the region to meet the countrys growing energy requirements. Besides large solar installations, the government is studying the possibility of grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic units for households. The Solar Energy Corporation of India estimates that 130 million homes could potentially be equipped with the units, creating 25,000 megawatts of generating capacity. said Alok, Rajasthans Energy Secretary.

Subject Morocco renewables. Significance Morocco showcased the progress it has made with the development of renewable energy at the COP21 climate change conference in Paris. At the conference, Morocco pledged to increase the renewable contribution to its electricity mix to 52% by 2030. The government has already set a target of 42% of its electricity generating capacity based on renewables by 2020: 14% each from hydro, wind and solar plants. Impacts Morocco can derive political and diplomatic benefits by projecting itself as a leading global force in developing clean energy. It will have an even better opportunity to do so when it hosts the COP22 meeting in Marrakech in November 2016. Morocco's renewable energy projects have been underpinned by subsidies, but these are likely to diminish as costs fall. Depending on technology, Morocco could export electricity generated from renewables to Europe and countries in north and west Africa.

Subject Renewable and coal energy in China. Significance Late last month, China upgraded its target for renewable energy and issued a draft plan for green energy certificates. This follows a new three-year anti-pollution plan issued in July. These strategies to clean up the energy sector are being pursued at the same time as the government is introducing competition in the power sector, planning a nationwide carbon trading market starting with the power sector and reinforcing its clean energy policy. Impacts Central government will press hard on local governments across northern China to fight air pollution. Natural gas imports will rises, especially once new LNG gasification and import pipeline capacity comes onstream over the coming year. A new 'green certificate' scheme should boost the share of renewable energy in China’s electricity supply. The continued growth of coal-fired generating capacity may blunt the influence of the green certificate scheme.

This paper highlights how factors which were once considered curse for Rajasthan have turned into boon. Two critical resources that are essential to solar power production namely high level of solar radiation per square inch and large amounts of contiguous, relatively flat, undeveloped land is abundant there. In order to tap the huge potential of Rajasthan for solar energy, the state government has constituted a separate entity, Rajasthan Solar Park Development Company Limited, for better development and management of solar parks. Solar industry is expected to be an economic engine in Rajasthan creating jobs across the State and spur billions in economic growth and tax revenue along with powering remotely connected households. Barmer, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur are the key regions with best solar radiation in the State. Seeing the market attractiveness the State has stimulated interest among several developers to commit a pipeline of generation projects. Rajasthan has highest allocation of projects including both Solar Photovoltaic and Concentrated Solar Power under Phase I of National Solar Mission. Rajasthan has competitive advantage based on the availability of relatively low cost land for industrial use. Adequate availability of electricity enables the development of solar manufacturing industry, which is energy intensive. The State has a comparative advantage on labor cost compared to its peer states. Proximity to NCR helps in access to industrial labor and managerial talent. Rajasthan has excellent proximity to end user market as well as supplier base for raw material, providing logistics cost advantage as well. The State has excellent medical facilities, it has a peaceful environment, good social infrastructure and strong tourism brand thus providing better quality of life. The new investor friendly Solar Policy aims to establish Rajasthan as a national leader in solar energy in phased manner by creating the policy frame work for promoting use of solar energy in various applications. Various incentives provided under the policy by the State Government include exemption from electricity duty, grant of incentives available to industries and availability of water for power generation. The Government has also announced special scheme for setting up of new enterprise, expansion, modernization and diversification, and projects set-up for common social good.

The research is aimed at analyzing and finding the reasons for the specific development of the solar energy market of Ukraine, defining the interaction on the part of the State and its role, furthermore the role of monopolists-generators and small generating equipment in private households. As result of the research, the following issues are considered: specifics of the formation of a share of the segment of solar power plants among renewable energy sources; the largest companies – solar energy generators in Ukraine; dynamics of changes in the «green» tariff and installed capacity of solar power plants over the past decade; development of the direction of small solar power plants installed by households and the largest generating regions of Ukraine by both the number and the installed capacity of the households’ SPP. Analyzing modern analytical reports on renewable energy generation, it is appropriate to note that a system of indicators, which is being created currently to reflect the real state of development of renewable energy, indicates a certain prospect of scientific research in this direction. Modern problems of development of the generating renewable energy market are defined, among which the following are defined: changes in legislation on the «green» tariff, which leads to changes in the investment climate and attractiveness of generation projects, the conflicting mechanisms of tariff auctions; potential threat of shortage of both storage and transport capacities (due to disproportionate development of generation volumes and its infrastructure support) etc. Based on the analysis of existing development trends, conclusions have been drawn about the future state and development of the solar energy generation market. The need to form a balanced national strategy for the development of renewable energy, taking into account the current conditions for reducing the «green» tariff and the cost of generating equipment, as well as taking into account the national interests of the State, the interests of monopolists and households, has been established.
