13 3. Investment Highlights

14 INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Opportunity to acquire operational wind assets Benefit of Accelerated 80% Depreciation PPAs Transfer/ Termination This opportunity enables the buyer to expand its wind power generation portfolio by 67.2 MW in one go. The said acquisition will mitigate the risk of installation and commissioning as the assets are fully operational. Besides, as most of the assets are relatively new, the balance life is more than 20 years which is available for generation. The benefit of accelerated depreciation (80%) may be available to the prospective buyer on the Actual Cost i.e. the cost of the assets to buyer. After the latest Income Tax notification (Notification No. 15/2012 [F.No. 149/21/2010 SO (TPL)] S.O 694 (E), dated ), the depreciation is restricted to 15% on wind mills installed after Hence, due to earlier installation of the wind mill on sale, the buyer may be able to enjoy depreciation benefit of 80% which is no longer available on new installation. If Option of selling power to third party at mutually agreed price or to state distribution Company on the Average Pooled Purchase Cost (APPC) is chosen, then there will be additional benefit every year (available only after 3 years of PPA termination) from RECs at presently applicable floor price of Rs. 1500/MWh. CDM Benefit Out of total of 67.2 MW, approximately 50% are already registered for issuance of CERs and remaining 50% are in advanced stage of approval. Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu allow 100% of CDM benefits to developer in first year and thereafter reducing it by 10% every year till the sharing becomes 50:50 between the developer and the distribution licensee. In Rajasthan this sharing is 25:75 between distribution licensee and the developer respectively.

As informed by the Company, VER corresponding to 8.5 MW has already been utilised by them and VER for the remaining capacity will be available to the buyer. Location Benefit/Important sites The WTGs are installed at such locations which are one of the suitable sites for energy generation through wind in the country. The WTGs have the first mover advantage due to their site locations and will command better generation than the wind farms which will be installed at other sites Renewable Purchase Obligation Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) is the obligation mandated by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERC) under the Electricity Act 2003, to purchase minimum level of renewable energy out of the total consumption in the area of a distribution licensee. Current RPOs for various states: Year Madhya Pradesh Rajasthan Tamil Nadu FY % 6.00% 10% FY % 7.10% 10% FY % 8.2% 10%
