One would, of course, expect developers to price in the intrinsic asset value in their bids, but at times aggressive price wars can lead to pricing that is not viable. This is where the government may need to step in to ensure that pricing matches asset quality. As mentioned earlier, a bifurcated market would go a long way towards sustaible pricing in the wind energy market. To understand the issue of wind energy auction mechanism better, it is important to learn a few lessons from other countries. In the paper “Renewable Energy Auctions and Tenders: How Good are They?”, David Toke looks at Danish and South African renewable energy projects and concludes that a significant proportion of the cost reduction is due to technological improvements and not from the auction mechanism itself.
