India-Japan Energy Forum 2017

9th January, 2017 | New Delhi
The Seventh India-Japan Energy
Forum was organized by NEDO
in association with TERI on 9th
January 2017 in New Delhi.
Over 200 participants
representing both India and
Japan participated in this high
p r o f i l e eve n t . Th e Fo ru m
focused on enhancing
technology cooperation and
business opportunities between
the two countries in the energy
sector with a focus on
renewable energy, grid stability,
energy efficiency improvements in the industry, and commercial and transport sub-
sectors.
Welcoming the delegates to the Forum, Dr Ajay Mathur, Director General, TERI
highlighted the issue of increasing energy demand in India and outlined the challenges
that India is facing in the energy sector. He emphasized on the need to enhance energy
productivity (particularly in air conditioning and steel industry), integration of renewable
energy in overall energy supply and improving efficiency of transport sub-sector
including increased focus on electrification and use of LNG in heavy duty vehicles.
During his introductory remarks, Mr. Kazuo Furukawa, Chairman, NEDO mentioned that
India-Japan Energy Forum has helped enhancing bi-lateral ties between the two
countries and attracted direct investment by the Japanese companies in India. He
appreciated the Indian Government target of achieving 175 GW through renewable
energy by 2022.
Delivering the ministerial address, Mr. Hiroshige Seko, Minister of Economy, Trade and
Industry (METI), Government of Japan, appreciated the growth of India and the
importance that the country is drawing at global stage. Noting the growing energy
demand in India and its ambitious renewable energy targets he spoke about the need
for closer cooperation between India and Japan in the energy sector. He emphasized
on the need of combining Japanese technology with skilled man-power of India.

Smart Grid Updates: Policy, Regulations & Standards
CEA Released Draft National Electricity Plan for 2017-2022
The Draft National Electricity Plan (Vol-I: Generation & Vol-II: Transmission) has been prepared by CEA. The Draft covers a review of the
12th five year Plan, Plan for 2017-2022 along with details for RE integration and a perspective for the period beyond 2022. While
preparing the NEP, tentative demands for 2021-20122, as part of working of 19th EPS have been taken into consideration. Central
Electricity Authority (CEA) has estimated an investment of Rs.2.6 trillion (~$38.2 billion) in the Indian power transmission sector by the
end of 2022. These and other estimates form the base for a draft National Electricity Plan-Volume II, which would be the basis for
investment and policy planning in the sector. Inter-regional capacity addition during the 13th plan (2017-22) is estimated at 45.7 GW.

Spectrum Allocation for Smart Grid Applications in Europe
European Parliament reached a political agreement for the use of the ultra-high frequency band of 700 MHz for mobile services. TV
broadcasting services, currently the main users of the 700 MHz band, will be moved out of it but will retain priority in the sub-700 MHz
band ”until at least 2030.” Releasing the 700MHz band for internet use and the shift to 5G could help to enable cross-border internet of
things or smart grid applications in the EU. Read More: http://archive.newsletter2go.com/?n2g=ch1tsh5f-sy7l75k2-2j9
