Change In Law Compensation In India’s Power Sector: Is Full Restitution Possible Without Carrying Cost?
The Change in Law clause is a cornerstone of competitively bid power projects in India. It protects parties against unforeseen legislative and regulatory changes that alter the economic assumptions on which bids are submitted. The central objective is restitution: restoring the affected party to the same economic position as if the change had never occurred. Yet, in practice, Change in Law compensation under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) is often determined and paid years after the expenditure has been incurred.

From Capex To Service: MNRE's Model 'Electrolyser As A Service' Agreement
The principal obstacle in the adoption of green hydrogen for reduction of carbon emissions has been commercial rather than technological, as industrial users seeking to transition must fund and operate a dedicated electrolyser plant for a term of fifteen years or more. The “Electrolyser as a Service” (EaaS) model addresses this constraint. Under the EaaS model, a technology provider (Service Provider) designs, finances, constructs, owns, operates and maintains an electrolytic hydrogen generation plant (Project) on a build-own-operate basis at the premises of the industrial user (Consumer).

Financing India's Energy Transition: How Project Finance Is Moving Beyond The Solar And Wind Playbook
For much of the last decade, financing an Indian renewable energy project usually meant financing a familiar solar or wind template: a long-term power purchase agreement, a tariff discovered through bidding or assessed against the applicable CERC framework, and payments linked to power actually supplied. This template was typically backed by a letter of credit, mortgage and hypothecation package.

HSA Advocates Successfully Represented M.B. Power (Madhya Pradesh) Limited Before The Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission In Proceedings Concerning The True-up Of Generation Tariff For Its 2x600 MW Anuppur Thermal Power Project.
One of the key issues before the Ld. Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (“MPERC”) was whether MB Power was entitled to gross-up its Return on Equity (“RoE”) notwithstanding the fact that, at the corporate level, it had not paid income tax during certain years owing to losses and unabsorbed depreciation arising from its other businesses. MPPMCL opposed the claim, inter alia, on the grounds that the claim was barred by limitation and that grossing-up could not be permitted in the absence of actual tax payment by the corporate entity.
