INDIAN POWER SECTOR
&
YOUR ROLE
 Indian Power Scenario –
Projected Growth

• Power for all by 2012

• Present Per capita Consumption – 606 kwh
• Per capita Consumption by 2012 – 1,000 kwh
• Peak demand Estimation by 2012 – 157 GW
• Inter Regional Transmission capacity to reach
37,000 MW by 2012 from 17,000 MW in 2007
• Investment requirement by 2012 – USD 100 Billion
• Generation – USD 50 Billion
• Transmission & Distribution – USD 50 Billion

•
 EXPECTATIONS
• To Make available the Power at “Affordable
Rate” i.e. to Common People
• 10% Rate of Growth in Power Sector supports
roughly 6-7% Growth in GDP
• To be competitive in Global Market “Cheap
Electricity” is essential
• Quality and uninterrupted Power Supply
• The aim should be 8-10% increase in KWH
power given to consumer
• Rural Electrification
• Government Agenda “Power on Demand by
2012

•
 CONSTRAINTS
• Electricity Being Used to attract
Votes
• Regulator in Power Sector but no
Regulator in Fuel
• Balance of Thermal, Hydro, and
Nuclear Power to minimise cost
of Electricity
• T&D Losses
•
Power Sector is Back
Bone of Economy
 YOUR ROLE

• Cost Reduction by way of Higher

Performance in Construction Schedule,
Operation of Plant, and Technological Up
gradation
• To Promote those Policies whereby the
overall Indian Power Sector turns into an
efficient system whereby total consumer
needs are met with quality and an
affordable cost

 CASE STUDY

SETTING UP OF
ULTRA MEGA PROJECT
 THE CONCEPT
• Setting up of large projects of 4000 MW at a
single location: ensuring economies of scale
• Utilisation of super critical technology: ensuring
higher efficiency and lower CO2 emissions
• Award of projects to developer through tariff
based competitive bidding : ensuring cheaper
power
 THE APPROACH
• Guidelines for determination of tariff through
bidding process were issued on 19th January,
2005 under Section 63 of the Electricity Act,
2003. These provide for procurement of power
by Distribution Licensees through competitive
bidding
• Separate SPVs for each project to undertake
project development activities including bid
process management on behalf of procurers
 TECHNICAL FEATURES
• Utilisation of higher efficiency super critical
technology with unit size of 800 MW

• Station capacity of about 4000 MW (5x800 MW)

• Flexibility re: unit size to be permitted, subject to

meeting thermal efficiency requirements
 SITE SELECTION
• Site selection by CEA taking into consideration
availability of fuel, land and water etc.
• 5 suitable locations identified based on preliminary
scrutiny by CEA of a number of potential sites
available in the country :
– Two pithead locations based on domestic coal.
• Sasan in MP
• Akaltara in Chhattisgarh
– Three coastal locations based on imported coal.
• Mundra in Gujarat
• Girye in Maharashtra
• Tadri in Karnataka
– One additional pithead site in Orissa and one coastal site
in Andhra Pradesh are also under consideration
 ROLE OF MINISTRY OF POWER
• Ministry of Power to be facilitator
• Co-ordination with concerned Ministries/
Agencies and State Govts. for ensuring:
– Coal block allotment/ coal linkage
– Environment/ forest clearances
– Facilitate acquisition of land
– Required support from State Govt. & its agencies on
various issues
– Financial closure by Financial Institutions
– To facilitate PPA and proper payment security mechanism
with State Govt./ State utilities
– Monitoring the progress of shell companies w.r.t
predetermined timelines
ROLE OF SHELL COMPANIES
• Shell Companies to take action for:
– Appointment of Consultants to undertake preparation of
Project Report
– Initiate land acquisition proceedings
– Obtain coal linkages/ allocation of captive coal blocks for
pit-head projects.
– Allocation of water by the State Govt. for pit-head locations
– Approval for use of seawater from Maritime Board/ other
Govt. Agencies for coastal locations
– Appointment of Consultants for International Competitive
Bidding (ICB), document preparation & evaluation.
ROLE OF SHELL COMPANIES
….Contd.
– Obtain various approvals and statutory
clearances.
– Tie up for off-take/ sale of power as per
provisions of Section 63 of EA 2003.
– Initiate action for development of the power
evacuation system and undertake system
studies considering the addition of capacity
from these projects
