For greater efficiency and longer lifetimes, intelligent lighting control can provide lighting as needed in aisles, rooms, or larger zones in the facility. LED lighting also achieves 100% light output from the instant it is switched on, which is a particular asset in hazardous locations that use independent generators; these are prone to blackout or brownout and so the locations require emergency lighting.

What are the primary structures for financing operating renewable energy projects in your jurisdiction?

What is the legal and regulatory framework applicable to developing, financing, operating and selling power and ‘environmental attributes’ from renewable energy projects?

Gallagher said China could regain some of the international goodwill it has lost and limit risk to its balance sheet by taking a more proactive stance in aligning its BRI investments with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and to the Paris Agreement.

However, it has always been a challenge to get all of the right stakeholders involved to make this theoretical dream a reality, until now. One of the countries at the forefront of this movement is Ethiopia. 

Ongoing copper cable theft from companies, such as state-owned power utility Eskom, has devastating effects on the local copper industry, says Copper Development Association Africa executive chairperson Evert Swanepoel.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you’ve probably been hearing about the marijuana industry almost nonstop — and there’s a good reason for that. It’s not often that we see an industry blossom from a few billion dollars a year in global sales to perhaps up to $75 billion in annual sales over a 15-year period. This is the type of growth that comes around once in a generation, and investors don’t want to miss out.

The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount November not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The rollout has fallen a bit behind schedule, admits Caldwell. As of last October, the city expected most of the network to be complete in May 2018. But Caldwell says that the original deadline was aspirational, and he isn’t too dismayed by the current pace of installation.

Hydropower plants having capacity of more than 25MW are not considered renewable energy projects and therefore the administrative ministry dealing with such projects is MOP and not MNRE. Owing to the key risks and issues such as deforestation and resettlement, these large-scale hydro projects have a limited private sector participation (restricted to 7.47 per cent of the total participation in the sector). However, small-scale hydropower projects (less than 25MW installed capacity) have the potential to meet the power requirements of remote and isolated areas and have seen increased private sector participation mainly owing to their long useful life and low generation cost. The MNRE has been vested with the responsibility of developing micro (up to 0.1MW), mini (0.101MW to 2MW) and small (2.001MW to 25MW) hydropower projects. Most of the potential from small hydropower projects is in Himalayan areas as river-based projects and in other areas as irrigation canals. Apart from the conventional dams and pumped storage projects, off-grid water mills are prevalent in hilly areas.
