BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
In the vast energy sector, electricity constitute a small fraction. Even in this small area, renewable energy constitutes a much smaller segment. Operating in this limited orbit we do not try to produce large waves but attempt to create ripples which would hopefully reach even the most under -privileged person in the farthest corner.
We firmly believe that ultimate relevance of all technological developments lies in bringing about improvement in the quality of life.
Our Objectives
We aspire to remain
Pioneer : Ever since we happened to be the first consultant in Wind Energy Sector in the country 38 years ago – we constantly endeavour to think much ahead, anticipate the requirement of the sector and get ourselves geared up. It is now an obsession for us to remain a pioneer.
Committed : Our commitment to deliver and complete the assignment within time is only one of the important factors. In totality it covers our commitment to stay in the clean-energy sector and achieve sustainable energy security.
Ethical: To maintain ethics in our business and commercial dealings is only a matter of routine. More importantly we ensure quality of the service we provide to our clients in particular and society in general.
To meet the requirement of the sector, CECL provided consultancy services to –
World Bank - Assessment of Investment Potential
ADB - Preparation of Business Plan
IREDA - Investment Climate for IPPs
Commercial Wind Power Projects are still at nascent stage of development and orientation of stake holders is a necessity for popularization. CECL organized Business meets, Investors meet and Interactive Sessions for various types of stakeholders to motivate them.
In long term interest of the new technology, orientation Programmes are conducted for Engineering Students – as there are no text books and/or regular courses.
Our objective is not only upgradation of knowledge and skill within the organization but also to disseminate the acquired knowledge – which increases through sharing.
Producing electricity from Wind and other Renewable Energy Sources and feeding them to the grid would largely benefit the need of Industry and Urban population. We however feel equally concerned about the need of agriculture and vast rural population living in remote corners.Decentralized power generation through locally available resources is needed urgently.
We surveyed, designed and executed the first project under “Village Energy Security Programme” (VESP) launched by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Govt. of India at Village Kasai in Betul District of M.P. The strategy was to harness locally available resources.
We have recently accepted a challenging assignment to scientifically assess the wind resource and develop large number of projects in North-Eastern States, Leh & Ladakh based on Wind-Solar Hybrid Concept. Success of this project shall meet the long standing need of people living in difficult area where grid supply can never be ensured.Towards our commitment to ensure Energy Security in true perspective – we are continuously experimenting with Stand-Alone Battery Charging, Biomass Gasification and Wind-Diesel Hybrid Systems.
CECL shall continue to explore new ideas and concepts to ensure total Energy Security both in terms of availability and affordability.
For Generators of Conventional Power it is now mandatory to produce clean energy. This has already created a substantially large demand for Wind Power Projects.
Further through introduction of unique and innovative scheme of Renewable Energy Certificate (REC), trading of Wind Power is now possible at a remunerative rate – which would make WPPs – commercially viable. This market boom would keep us busy for years to come. On consideration of market demand – we have already ventured into identification and development of sites for large projects. Substantial lumpsum earning through disposal of these sites shall be invested to own Wind Turbines and create a separate stream of regular revenue earning.
Re-powering of old wind farm shall now be a new feature and we have already provided services in this regard. Demand for our services in this new activity is likely to increase in near future.
At national level, substantial budgetary allocation has been made for decentralized power systems in remote corners of the country. Our services has already been retained by Govt. of India to implement Wind Solar Hybrid Systems in North East, Leh and Kargil. This would not only enhance business prospect but would also help us to ensure energy security in true perspective.
Most comprehensive wind energy services are being offered in all related technical aspects of Wind Power Projects (WPP) from Concept to commissioning – and beyond.
The skill is constantly upgraded through acquisition of recent data base and latest Computer Softwares. It is a continuous process of knowledge upgradation to meet the exacting requirements of the sector.
