Key Operating and Financial Metrics:
Electricity generation during the nine months’ period ended December 31,
2016 increased by 163.0 million kWh, or 64%, to 416.9 million kWh,
compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in electricity
generation was principally a result of additional operational capacity
during the period.
Total revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 was INR
2,865.4 million (US$ 42.2 million), up 54% from INR 1,858.9 million
during the same period in 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily
driven by the commissioning of new projects.
Project cost per megawatt operating consists of costs incurred for one
megawatt of new solar power plant capacity during the reporting period.
The project cost per megawatt operating for the nine months ended
December 31, 2016 decreased by INR
16.0 million (US$ 0.23 million) to INR 44.2 million (US$ 0.65 million),
as compared to the same period in 2015. The decline is in line with
decreasing solar module prices and the reduction in balance of system
costs.
As of December 31, 2016, our operating and committed megawatts increased
by 267 MW to 1,071 MW compared to December 31, 2015, as a result of the
