Fuel Shortages Cast its impact on India's Power Generation5/15/2012 12:00:00

AM

l The Ministry of power has finally agreed that some power generation facilities are facing shortage of coal and gas. During the year 2011-12, Power Utilities reported a generation loss of the order of 9 Billion Unit (BU) and 11 BU due to shortage of coal and gas respectively.

l Production of coal from the domestic sources has not been matching with the increasing requirement for electricity generation. The shortfall is being mitigated through blending of imported coal to the extent technically feasible. The coal-based generation during 2011-12, however, registered a growth of about 9.2%.

l During the year 2011-12, gas and liquid fuel based energy generation was inter-alia affected due to lower system demand mainly on account of sudden drop in the domestic & agricultural demand due to better availability of water, better weather conditions & increased thermal, hydro and nuclear generations coupled with shortage in supply of gas.

l Being comparatively costly power, gas based units had to shut down / back down Gas Turbines (GTs) due to receipt of lower



schedule from the beneficiary States. The total average daily availability of natural gas during 2010-11 from different sources was 162.1 MMSCMD with a share of 55.35 MMSCMD from KG-D6. During 2011-12, the availability of gas from KG-D6, which is the major source of natural gas, has steadily declined with the availability of 34.3 MMSCMD during the month of March, 2012. The availability of imported R-LNG fluctuates from time to time depending upon the demand, price and tie ups with suppliers due to which supply to Power Plant has reduced.

l While efforts are being for getting supply of coal to power stations enhanced, import of coal subject to blending to the extent technically feasible has been resorted to during the last few years in view of prevailing inadequacy of domestic coal for meeting the electricity generation requirements. It has been decided that CIL will sign Fuel Supply Agreements (FSAs) with power plants that have entered into long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with DISCOMs and have been commissioned/would get commissioned on or before 31st March 2015. The FSAs will be signed for full quantity of coal mentioned in the Letters of Assurance (LOAs) for a period of 20 years with trigger level of 80% for levy of disincentive and 90% for levy of incentive.

l Production of gas from KG D-6 has steadily declined. Consequently, the project developers have been advised not to plan projects based on domestic gas till 2015-16.

Assam facing shortfall of 403 MW of power 5/8/2012 12:00:00 AM

l The State is facing a shortfall of 403 MW in power supply during the peak load hours. Its off peak load hours’ shortfall was 232 MW during the day. The shortfall faced by the State in power supply these days is due to the reduced generation in the hydel and thermal power stations of the region together with its failure to draw power from outside the region. The peak load hours’ power demand of the State today was 1100 MW against the availability of 697 MW of power. Its off peak load hour power demand today was 720 MW, against the availability of 488 MW.

l According to Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd (APDCL) sources, today, the Assam Power Generation Company Ltd (APGCL) supplied 174 MW of power to the APDCL during the off peak load hours, while it supplied 230 MW of power to the State power distribution company during the peak load hours. During the off peak load hours today, the APDCL received 176 MW of power from the Central Sector Generating Stations (CSGS) of the NE region and during the peak load hours it received 332 MW of power from these CSGS.

l From the National Thermal Power Corporation’s (NTPC’S) Eastern Region generating stations, the APDCL received 126 MW of power during the off peak load hours and during the peak load hours, it received 123 MW of power from these generating stations. The APDCL could not draw 120 MW of power it has sought to procure from the open market because of the non-restoration of the two 400 Kv towers of the Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL). These towers were uprooted by a storm on May 3 at Binaguri in West Bengal.

l It needs mention here that the State’s share of power from all the CSGS of the North East Region is 589 MW for this month. But because of the shortage in gas supply to the Central Sector thermal power stations and the less availability of water in the Central Sector hydel power stations, these CSGS are generating power at a reduced rate. Even the State’s own generating stations are not able to utilise their full generating capacities because of these two factors, sources said. The Kathalguri Thermal Power Station of the NEEPCO is utilising 71 per cent of its generating capacity. The Agartala Gas-based Thermal Power Station of the Central Sector power company is utilising 91 per cent of its capacity.

l The Dayang Hydel Project of the NEEPCO is utilising only 8 per cent of its installed capacity, while the Ranganadi Hydel Project of this Central Sector power company is utilising only 16 per cent of its capacity. The Kopili Hydel Project of this Central Sector power company is utilising 10 per cent of its capacity, while the Loktak Hydel Project of the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) is utilising 60 per cent of its capacity.

l Similarly, due to gas supply constraint and shutdown of machines, the Namrup Thermal Power Station of the APGCL is utilising 58 per cent of its generating capacity and the Lakwa Thermal Power Station of the State is utilising 67 per cent of its generating capacity. The Karbi-Langpi Hydel Project of the APGCL is utilising 50 per cent of its capacity due to shortage of water in the Langpi river, sources said.

Gas supplies pose threat to � iability of gas based power projects4/10/2012 12:00:00

AM

l Due to sharp decline in domestic production of gas in the country, particularly from KG D6 basin, almost all existing gas based power plants are facing difficulties and have been operating at lower PLF, resulting in loss of generation. Further, a few power plants are either commissioned or under advance stage of construction and awaiting gas supply for testing/commissioning and commercial operation.

l Demand and supply of gas to various gas-based power projects during each of the last three years and the current year is enclosed at Annex-1A, 1B, 1C and 1D.

l While presently none of the existing gas based power plant is lying idle due to non-availability of gas but most of the plants are operating at lower PLF and the gas based power stations have, during April, 2011 to January, 2012, reported a generation loss of 6,244.5 Million Unit (MU) due to short supply of gas.

l Infraline brings to you complete details of gas supplies going to power plants since 2008-09 till date.

India's power capacity not dependant on global equipment supply� Sharp increase in usage of Indigenous Equipment for Power Plants

4/9/2012 12:00:00 AM

Out of thermal generating capacity of 96649.6 MW and hydro capacity of 13754 MW which are under construction for likely benefit during the balance period of 11th Plan, 12th Plan and beyond, thermal projects aggregating to 50239.6 MW (details at Annex-I) and hydro projects aggregating to 12329 MW (details at Annex-I I) are being set up with equipment supplied by indigenous equipment suppliers.

In order to facilitate large power generation capacity addition programme currently under implementation, indigenous manufacturing of supercritical power equipment is being encouraged. BHEL have entered into technology collaboration agreements with M/s. Alstom (France) and Siemens (Germany) for manufacturing of supercritical boiler and turbine generators respectively. Several Joint Ventures like L&T with Mitsubishi, Bharat Forge with Alstom, JSW with Toshiba, BGR with Hitachi, Gammon with Ansaldo have been set up in the country for manufacturing of supercritical boilers & turbine generators with technology tie-ups from International manufacturers of supercritical equipment. Doosan has come to establish its manufacturing facilities on their own strength.

With a view to encouraging domestic manufacturing of supercritical units, bulk orders for 11 supercritical units of 660 MW each for NTPC and DVC and 9 supercritical units of 800 MW each for NTPC have been approved by the Government. These bulk orders have mandatory stipulation as per pre-agreed Phased Domestic Manufacturing Programme (PMP). The roadmap for PMP has also been defined indicating milestones for setting up manufacturing facilities for boilers and turbine generators.

Further with a view to supporting indigenous manufacturers of thermal power plants based on supercritical technology, Central Electricity Authority has advised Central/State sector power generating companies/utilities to incorporate the condition of setting up of PMP in the bids to be invited till October 2012 for super-critical boilers and turbine-generators.

NTPC-B� EL Power Projects to begin operations ne� t fiscal12/14/2011 12:00:00

AM

l NTPC-BHEL Power Projects Pvt Ltd (NBPPL), a 50:50 joint venture of state-owned NTPC and BHEL, for manufacturing power equipment, will start operations next fiscal, a senior company official has said. “The infrastructure for NTPC-BHEL joint venture company would be ready by March 2012...and it would start production next year (financial year),” NTPC Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Mr Arup Roy Choudhury, who is also the Chairman of NBPPL, said on the sidelines of National Energy Conservation Day.

l The company already has orders in hand, which it received from NTPC and BHEL at the time NBPPL was incorporated in April 2008. It will start manufacturing plant equipment such as transformers, switchgears, meters and automation systems from its facility in Andhra Pradesh. NBPPL will supply equipment for the 100-MW Namrup Power Station in Assam and 726-MW combined cycle power plant Palatana of ONGC Tripura Power Corporation. It would also take up execution of 500-MW Singrauli Thermal Power Plant and 600-MW Thermal Power Plant at Rayalseema of Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd (APGENCO).

l On whether the joint venture company is scouting for a technological partner, Mr Choudhury said: “Right now the focus is on starting operations...later we will see whether we need any kind of tie up with a foreign company.” The joint venture was formed to



carry out engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for power plants and infrastructure projects as well as manufacture and supply of equipment. The joint venture firm falls under the administrative control of the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Industries.

NTPC-B� EL Power scout for tech tie-up with foreign co - Technology would be mainly used for coal and ash handling plants of the projects

8/17/2010 12:00:00 AM

l NTPC-BHEL Power Projects is likely to rope in a global technology provider and may offer a minority stake. “We are looking for a technological tie-up with a global firm to join us in our joint venture with BHEL,” a NTPC official said, adding, “we are in talks with various foreign firms.” He however, declined to name those companies. The technology would be mainly used for coal and ash handling plants of the projects that would be taken up by NTPC-BHEL Power Projects Pvt Ltd (NBPPL). “NBPPL needs technology for coal as well as ash handling plants ... if it (global firm) wants to pick up stake they can,” the official said.

l NTPC-BHEL Power Projects is a 50:50 joint venture firm formed between power producer NTPC and equipment maker BHEL for carrying out engineering, procurement and construction contracts, besides manufacturing and supplying equipment for power plants. The joint venture has an order book of about Rs 450 crore. It is targeting an order book of Rs 7,000 crore by the end of the current fiscal. At present, NBPPL is working on the 100-MW Namrup Power Station in Assam and the 726-MW combined cycle power plant being set up by ONGC Tripura Power Corporation at Palatana in Tripura. It is also executing the 500-MW Singrauli thermal power plant and the 600-MW thermal power plant of Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd at Rayalseema.

Work apace at NTPC-B� EL Power Projects' plant in Andhra Pradesh - Company commits Rs 2 billion by end of March 31� 2011

8/10/2010 12:00:00 AM

l NTPC-BHEL Power Projects Ltd (NBPPL) has committed Rs 200 crore by end of March 31, 2011 to kick-start construction activity in the Rs 6,000-crore power equipment manufacturing facility at Mannavaram, near Tirupati in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. At least 150 professionals would be recruited by then; ground work has already begun at the 750-acre site allocated by the Andhra Pradesh Government, said Mr C.P. Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of the joint venture company floated by NTPC-BHEL combine.

l Though the official foundation laying event by the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, has been postponed, civil work, ordering of necessary equipment and finalising important aspects of the project are in full swing, Mr Singh said. The manufacturing unit has seen controversy over its location, setback after the death of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, and postponement of the visit of Prime Minister on two occasions, raising doubts in some quarters in the State.

l Mr Singh said the project is on course to complete Phase-I by 2013, which will see manufacturing facility for Balance of Plant (coal handling and ash handling plants) ready. During fiscal 2011-12, massive investments would flow in and recruitment in big numbers would happen. It will have a capacity of producing power generation equipment of 5,000 MW per year and provide direct employment to 6,000 and indirect employment to 25,000 when completed in 2015 with the main manufacturing of power plant equipment such as boilers, turbines and generators, he added. Asked about the funding for the project, Mr Singh said NTPC and BHEL have agreed for a debt:equity ratio of 1:1 for raising Rs 6,000 crore. Both being cash-rich, funds will not be a problem, he said.

l Even as the joint venture is focused on implementing the project in Andhra Pradesh, it is also getting contracts from power utilities as an EPC contractor. “We have bagged Rs 450 crore orders already and are on course to end the current fiscal with an order book of Rs 7,000 crore worth of projects,” Mr Singh said. At present, NBPPL is executing Balance of Plant packages, including civil and structural works for the 100 MW Namrup Power Station in Assam and 726 MW CCPP-Palatana of ONGC Tripura Power Corporation. The joint venture will take up the execution of the 500 MW Singrauli unit on EPC basis.

l It will also implement the 600 MW unit of the Andhra Pradesh Generation Corporation (APGenco) in Rayalseema region. The company's business plan target is to achieve a turnover of Rs 10,000 crore by 2015, when the AP plant is expected to be commissioned, Mr Singh added. The company is building up expertise in project management engineering and also drawing on necessary skills from both NTPC and BHEL in executing projects. There is scope for going abroad for contracts in future. However, the huge demand for power equipment and urgent need for beefing up installed capacity within the country require more manufacturing facilities, he said.

NBPPL promises to clock a Rs 10� 000 cr turno� er by 20156/17/2010 12:00:00

AM

l The newly formed equipment manufacturing joint venture company of NTPC and BHEL --NTPC BHEL Power Projects Pvt Ltd (NBPPL) --has informed the government that it expects to clock a turnover of Rs 10,000 crore by 2015 and Rs 20,000 crore by 2020. The manufacturing facility is expected o kick start its operations shortly.



l The Business Plan of NBPPL envisages capital investment of Rs 1200 crore for establishing EPC capabilities and manufacturing of BOP equipments (Coal Handling Plant (CHP), Ash Handling Plant (AHP)) in Phase I to be followed by Capital Investment of Rs 4800 crore for establishing manufacturing facilities for BTG (Boiler, turbine and Generator) in Phase II with manufacturing capacity of 5000 MW per year. According to NBPPL, Phase I is planned for completion by 2012 and Phase II by 2015.

l As far as the present order book position of NBPPL goes, government sources said that presently BoP order worth Rs. 187 cr. for a Gas based project of ONGC at Palatana, Tripura and Civil work and BoP worth Rs. 199 cr. for the Gas based project from Namrup, Assam have been received from BHEL and are under execution. Further orders for 11 out of 12 turnkey packages and 23 out of 42 non turnkey packages have already been placed for the ONGC Tripura project and the ordering for remaining packages would be completed soon. In the case of Namrup, Assam project, the ordering of 11 turnkey packages and 75 non turnkey packages was in various stages.

l NBPPL is also trying to secure more orders for Coal based Thermal Power Plant and is in talks with the government Andhra Pradesh for transfer of an order for 1x600 MW Rayalseema TPS of APGENCO on EPC basis to NBPPL. NBPPL will source BTG from BHEL and rest will be managed by NBPPL. Further, NTPC has also agreed to place the order for the 500MW Singrauli TPS, but the same is yet to be finalized due to delay in environmental clearances.

We want to be an Indian MNC in the power EPC space� says NTPC Bhel Power Projects' chairman CP Singh

5/24/2010 12:00:00 AM

l NTPC Bhel Power Projects Pvt Ltd (NBPPL), a 50: 50 joint venture (JV) between NTPC and Bhel, is emerging as a key player in the domestic power sector EPC domain. Though the company started operations only recently, it has bagged orders worth Rs 450 crore. It expects an order book of Rs 7,000 crore by March 2011. NBBPL is investing Rs 6,000 crore to set up a 5,000 mw a year power equipment manufacturing facility in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, which should improve power equipment supply in the country and help expedite the pace of capacity addition in generation. NBPPL chairman CP Singh spoke about the company’s strengths as an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contractor. Excerpts:

l NBPPL is a subsidiary of Bhel� the state-run power equipment maker. Do you think there is space for another public sector firm in the domestic power equipment market�

l The government has envisaged a capacity addition of 78,577 mw under the current 11th Five-Year Plan while the target for the 12th Plan is 82,000 mw. This comes to more than 150,000 mw, which is almost equivalent to what the country added in the past 60 years. According to the report submitted by Mckinsey & Company to the government of India, the country needs to have power equipment manufacturing capacity of 30,000-40,000 mw per year if it is to keep pace with the growth in electricity demand.

l As per the projections of the Integrated Energy Policy, the power capacity addition will go up to 960 gw by 2031-32 under a 9% GDP growth scenario. All these point towards a continuous growth opportunity in the Indian power sector. Hence, it is most desirable that we have many more manufacturing plants in both public and private sectors. In view of this projected increase in power demand, a need was felt for a company like NBPPL that could supplement the domestic equipment making capacity.

l Yours is a new company. Running a new company is always a challenge. What are NBPPL� s key strengths you count on�

l Running a new company is always a challenge. But NBPPL is a sunrise company and it has a big role to play in the Indian power sector because of the prevailing equipment shortfall. NBPPL, being a JV between NTPC and Bhel, is well placed to emerge as a strong player in the power sector EPC area. The two promoter companies have significant complementarities: Bhel is strong in power equipment manufacturing and project implementation while NTPC’s strength lies in project development and management. The JV was created to leverage the core strengths and synergies of the respective promoter companies and supplement their EPC and equipment manufacturing capacities. This would help in meeting the huge emerging demand for setting up new power projects in the country.

l We have signed a performance memorandum of understanding (MoU) with NTPC and Bhel, which is a major initiative to ensure fast growth of NBPPL by giving it enhanced functional autonomy and empowerment. The company is being managed by professionals drawn from Bhel and NTPC who have experience of 5 to 30 years.

l What is your business model�

l We will try to bag contracts for implementing power projects on an EPC basis as well as for the supply and installation of balance of plant (BoP) equipment. We are looking at securing contracts for undertaking project management and quality control and inspection work on behalf of developers. Besides, we will also try to get contracts for providing consultancy services on setting up of new plants and overhauling and maintenance of existing power plants.

l What is the status of work on the manufacturing facility being set up in Andhra Pradesh�

l We are investing Rs 6,000 crore to set up a facility in Chittoor district for manufacturing boilers, turbines, generators as well as BoP equipment under one roof. The government of Andhra Pradesh has allotted 750 acres for the plant. The construction work has started at the project site. Under the first phase, a facility for manufacturing BoP equipment will be set up. This project would be commissioned by March 2013. A facility for manufacturing boilers, turbines and generators will be commissioned by March 2015.

l The plant- envisaged to have power equipment manufacturing capacity of 5,000 mw a year-will be commissioned by 2014. In another two years, NBPPL will set up the facility for coal- and ash-handling plants. Although the timeframe for completing each of the three facilities is different, work will go on in parallel. The company will generate direct employment for 6,000 professionals and indirect employment for 25,000 people more.

l � ow is the flow of orders�



l We have started with a BoP sub-contract awarded by Bhel for the 726 mw combined cycle Palatana project of ONGC Tripura Power Corporation Ltd. The commissioning of the first set of this project is planned by December 2011 and the second set by March 2012. Bhel has also sub-contracted us work for the supply and installation of BoP equipment at the 100 mw Namrup power station of Assam Power Generating Company.

l Meanwhile, NBPPL is expected to get EPC orders from NTPC for the execution of a 500 mw unit at Singrauli. Besides, we are also expecting a similar order from Apgenco for building its 600 mw unit at Rayalseema. We currently have an order book of Rs 450 crore, which is likely to go up to Rs 3,500 crore by July 2010 and up to Rs 7,000 crore by March 2011. The company has prepared a business plan to achieve a turnover of Rs 10,000 crore by March 2015.

l What is the corporate � ision of NBPPL�

l We have a challenge to make NBPPL a world-class company in power and infrastructure sectors, committed to enhancing the stakeholders’ value with a global presence. For this, we will strive to ensure economy and efficiency in the company’s operations to remain competitive in this highly competitive area where more and more players are entering. We also want to emerge as an Indian multinational EPC contractor and excel in providing total business solutions through timely execution of power plants and other infrastructure projects in India and abroad with backward integration in power plant and BoP equipment making.

NBPPL enters into a pact with its parent firms to meet financial targets set for current fiscal - Current order book may touch Rs 35 billion by � uly

5/3/2010 12:00:00 AM

l NTPC-BHEL Power Projects Ltd (NBPPL), the joint venture between power major NTPC Ltd and equipment firm Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, on Saturday said it has entered into a pact with its parent firms to meet the financial targets set for the current fiscal. NBPPL's current order book of approximately Rs 450 crore is likely to touch Rs 3,500 crore by July and to Rs 7,000 crore by the end of the financial year 2010-11. “This is a major initiative taken to ensure fast track growth of NBPPL by providing greater functional autonomy and empowerment in achieving laid down objectives of the company,” the joint venture company, which was incorporated last year as a 50:50 joint venture firm between NTPC and BHEL, said in a statement.

l Currently, NBPPL is working on the 100 MW Namrup Power Station in Assam, and 726 MW combined cycle power plant in Palatana of ONGC Tripura Power Corporation.

Power crisis plagues Assam - Forcing the state go� ernment to look at neighbouring states and e� en Bhutan for additional supply

6/21/2007 12:00:00 AM

l Assam is facing its worst power shortage in recent years, forcing the state government to look at neighbouring states, and even

Bhutan, for additional supply. The crisis is the result of a long dry spell that led to poor hydropower generation and a weak distribution network. Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has asked the Centre for immediate allocation of 400 mw power from ONGC's Tripura-based gas project, and also some power from Tala and Kiruchu.

l Gogoi said that ONGC and Oil India Ltd had failed to supply committed gas for power generation in Assam. As a result, the

Namrup thermal power station, Lakwa TPS as well as Kthalguri TPS of North East Electric Power Corporation Ltd had suffered. State Power Minister Pradyut Bordoloi said that the crisis was due to over-dependence on thermal projects, some of which have

become obsolete.

l To partially meet the challenge of power shortage, 125 mw thermal power from Eastern Region has been arranged while all land



and project facilities with respect to Bongaigaon TPS has been handed over to NTPC. Assam faces an uncertain future even in the

rural electrification sector, with over 5,500 villages out of a total 25,124 yet to be electrified.

Assam faces acute power crisis - Already facing shortage� the problem has been compounded with a prolonged dry spell

6/14/2007 12:00:00 AM

l A drought like situation leading to poor hydro-power generation and a weak distribution network have led to Assam facing the worst ever power crisis prompting the government to approach neighbouring States as well as the Himalayan kingdom of Bh utan

for power supply.

l Already facing a shortage crisis has been compounded with a prolonged dry spell. The Chief Minister, Mr Tarun Gogoi in an SOS to the Centre recently requested for immediate allocation of 400 MW power from ONGC's Tripura based gas project, and also some

power from the Tala and Kiruchu hydro electric projects of Bhutan to Assam.

l Charging the public sector ONGC and OIL for failing to supply committed gas for power generation in Assam, Mr Gogoi said as a result of that generation in the Namrup thermal power station (TPS) and Lakwa TPS as well as the Kthalguri TPS of North East Ele ctric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) have suffered badly.

l The Chief Minister has also called for adequate investment in the power distribution segment as there are large gaps in the network

in major towns. To improve the situation the Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) has been divided into separate companies for generation, transmission and distribution, he said.

Assam Power Generation Corporation in� ites bids for re� i� al of the 60 MW Chandrapur thermal power station in Assam

4/19/2007 12:00:00 AM

l Assam Power Generation Corporation has invited bids for revival of the 60-mw (2x30 mw) Chandrapur thermal power station in

Assam on lease, renovate, operate and transfer (LROT) or joint sector participation basis. Currently, this unit is shut down due to high cost of fuel. Under this revival plan, existing boilers would be replaced with fluidised bed combustion boilers so as to run it

with coal.

l APGC also plans to revive the 20-mw Dhansiri hydel power project at Golaghat as per the Assam government's policy for development of small hydro powers (SHP) 2007. EOI were also invited for the same. The company recently invited tender for environment impact assessment studies for revival of the 200-mw gas-based Namrup TPS in Dibrugarh district.

Assam suffers as states refuse to sell power - States should not charge more than 4 paisa o� er their generating cost per unit� says ATE � erdict

4/10/2007 12:00:00 AM

l The verdict of Appellate Tribunal of Electricity (ATE) this January, capping the profit on intra-state trading of power, has become a

headache for power-starved Assam, as a power shortage will hit the state this year. ATE, in the verdict, said that states should not charge more than 4 paisa over their generating cost per unit while selling power to other states.

l Assam, which produces around 120 mw from two thermal projects at Namrup and Lakwa round the clock and only 50 mw out of

capacity 100mw from the recently commissioned Karbi Langpi project owing to poor rainfall, buys around 380 mw during peak hours from central government power generating agencies.

l The state has a deficit of around 180-200 mw during peak hours. The situation deteriorated this year as deficient rainfall meant

lower power supply from central government agencies. Assam earlier used to buy power from neighbouring states but is unable to do it this year after the ATE verdict, claim state power sector sources.

l "We are not in a position to buy power from other states due to this ceiling imposed by the Apellate Tribunal of Electricity. No state is willing to sell power at such nominal rate", sources said. Assam purchased power at Rs. 5 to Rs. 6 per unit from other states in

the past to combat the power crisis.

l The state is now waiting for the Supreme Court's decision, as the verdict of ATE has been challenged by the states in the Supreme Court. Till March 15, the state was receiving 50 mw daily from the Unallocated Central Quota (UCO) which the central government

distributes at its discretion. Since the state stopped receiving power under UCO, the power crisis has deepened.



l Since the verdict, sources said, West Bengal, which once sold power to Assam, is no more willing to sell power as the profit margin

is negligible.

l This has caused severe power cuts in Assam since March-end. "In case there is a deficit monsoon this year too (last year Assam had a deficit rainfall of 33 per cent) we have no other alternative but to be at the mercy of the central government to release us power under the UCO", sources said.

Detailed project report of 110 MW Namrup Thermal Replacement Project ready - Appro� al from Public In� estment Board awaited

2/20/2007 12:00:00 AM

l The detailed project report (DPR) of the 110MW Namrup Thermal Replacement Project is now ready and the approval from the

Public Investment Board (PIB) to it is awaited. Tender for its implementation-related work will be floated as soon as the PIB approval to the project is obtained, Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) sources here said.

l The project is undertaken to replace the age-old units of the Namrup thermal project, which were commissioned in 1965. The

capacity of the old units was 133.5MW. These units were the first gas turbine units of the country. But their efficiency is low. They need more gas to generate power. These units are now sought to be replaced with the more efficient modern machines, said the sources.

l Meanwhile, the civil work for the 37MW Lakwa Waste Heat Project is under progress. The Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL)

has been awarded the contract for supplying the equipment for the project. Manufacturing of the equipment is under process at various BHEL units. With the phases of the civil construction over, installation of the equipment will also be done simultaneously

in phases, said the sources.

l Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, in his New Year announcement on January 1 last, said that the Lakwa project would be commissioned in June 2009. The total cost for the project is estimated at Rs 236 crore. The Chief Minister had also said on that day that the work

for the Namrup Thermal Replacement Project would start in the current year and its total cost was estimated at Rs 440 crore.

l The projects are expected to help the power-starved State generate 147MW of power steadily. The summer peak-load-hour power demand of the State is around 800MW, while its winter peak-load-hour demand is over 700MW now. Its own generation capacity is limited to around 130MW till the other day. Until January 31 last, the State had to depend solely on the 120MW Lakwa Thermal

Project and the Namrup Thermal Project for generation of power.

l However, with the commissioning of one 50MW unit of the 100MW Karbi Langpi Hydroelectric Power Project (KLHEP) on January 31, the generation capacity of the State has gone up to about 180 MW. This unit of the KHELP is now supplying 50MW of

power. The other unit of the KLHEP is also being commissioned by March next. This will enhance the generation capacity of the State to 230MW.

l Meanwhile, the ASEB and the Assam Power Generation Company has been working on five new hydel projects, which will

enhance the generating capacity of the State by another 285MW after their commissioning by the 12th Five Year Plan.

Assam for attaining self-sufficiency in power generation� says minister 8/1/2006 12:00:00 AM

l Private partners for joint development of projects would be selected through advertisements inviting bids soon. Industry will get uninterrupted supply of power in the near future, according to Padyut Bordoloi, power and industries minister of Assam.

l "Power availability is the priority of the Government of Assam and having revamped the transmission and distribution (T&D)

system, the priority now is for attaining self-sufficiency in power generation," he told the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

l Two special economic zones (SEZs), two special economic regions (SERs), a gas cracker project, a plastic park and other 10 industrial growth centres would be constructed in Assam in the next 10 years, the minister said, admitting that the government needed a transmission plan to meet future power requirements. Availability of coal was not a problem in the state.

l The challenge was to "harness resources to augment the existing generation as quickly as possible to increase generation to sell

extra power to the rest of India". He claimed the government had since 2004 worked to reform the power sector and make it efficient and make the state self sufficient in power. Reform started in 2004 with massive investment in capacity addition and

modernisation of the existing T&D system.



l "The goal is to enhance carrying capacity of the system from present 880mw to 1300mw by 2008", he added. The minister said after

the reform process started, Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) rushed to finish delayed projects and took up new projects. As a result, 11 small projects were commissioned between August 2005 and May 2006.

l As part of reforms, ASEB was unbundled into five corporations on December 10, 2004, called the Assam Power Generation Corporation Limited (APGCL), Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Limited (AEGCL), Upper Assam Electricity Distribution

Corporation Limited (UAEDCL), Lower Assam Electricity Distribution Corporation Limited (LAEDCL) and Central Assam Electricity Distribution Corporation Limited (CAEDCL).

l Efforts were being made to reduce losses of the electricity board. ASEB's annual T&D energy loss in the last five years was Rs

2655.97 crore, and the aim was to bring this down in 2005-2006 to Rs 623 crore. Losses were caused by an ageing network, low line capacity, inadequate transformer capacity, non-billing, non-collection, unaccounted supply and theft.

l Except for the Karbi-Langpi hydel project, no investment was made in the generating sector in Assam in 30 years. Consequently,

the demand-supply gap widened and the situation worsened. To attain self-sufficiency, investment of Rs 10,000 crore was needed in the generation sector in Assam, said Bordoloi.

l The government had lined up projects like commissioning of the delayed Karbi-Langpi hydel power project, hopefully by October

2006, revival of the Bongaigaon Thermal Power Project by NTPC with capacity of 750mw and modernisation of the Namrup TPP. The government was also planning a greenfield JV power project in Namrup.

l Other power projects in the pipeline included the Lower Kopili hydel power project, Borgulai coal-based thermal power project in Tinsukia, and PPP project with a capacity of 180mw in Badarpur in Barak Valley. Private partners for joint development of the

projects would be selected through advertisements inviting bids soon, said the minister. These projects will create 2101mw of power for the state.

l The government will also seek additional power linkages from the 200mw Kahelgaon TPP, the 600mw Lower Subansiri Project and

another 200mw from the proposed ONGC gas-based project in Tripura between 2006 and 2012, adding up to 1900mw.

l Besides the reform process, the government was investing in rural electrification under the Assam rural electrification policy notified in February 2005, covering 7,000 villages under the Rajiv Gandhi Vidyutikaran Yojna. Users said they expected

improvements in the power delivery systems following the reforms and a change in quality, service and style of functioning of ASEB.

Power game continues in Assam - Inadequate supply from central electricity-generating units5/10/2006 12:00:00

AM

l The hunt for scapegoats continued in power-starved Assam with governor Ajai Singh on Tuesday blaming inadequate supply from central electricity-generating units for the agony of a summer of ceaseless loadshedding. Power minister Pradyut Bordoloi had identified Neepco as the main culprit. He said on Monday that the power utility’s decision to shut down the Kopili and Khandong

hydel power stations for maintenance caught the state “off-guard” and triggered a peak-hour shortfall of over 300 MW.

l Lt Gen. (retd) Singh chose to focus on “insufficient” supply from all central power-generating agencies after a briefing from the top brass of the Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB). K. Chattopadhyay, aide-de-camp to the governor, said that Singh took stock of

the situation and decided to personally request Delhi to ensure stabilisation of power supply to the state from central agencies. He said the governor asked the ASEB to pull up its socks, too.

l “The governor hopes that the power scenario in Assam will improve after the gestation period of the reforms introduced by the

state government in 2001 is over by 2008,” Chattopadhyay said. P.K. Borthakur, managing director of the Upper and Lower Assam distribution companies of the ASEB, informed the governor that the peak-hour demand was 709 MW, while the power committed

by various sources was around 750 MW. He said the shortage had been caused by reduction of output at all central power-generating units around the same time.

l The government has filed a complaint against Neepco with the Central Electricity Authority for shutting down two hydel power stations for 45 days at this time of the year. Dispur contends that Neepco should have completed maintenance tasks at its units in

November and December, which is the lean period for hydel stations.

l Borthakur said during the meeting at Raj Bhavan that the 100-MW Karbi Langpi project was likely to be commissioned by July and the 35-MW Namrup thermal project by September. He also maintained that the actual benefits of power reforms would be visible

only by 2008. Irate consumers last week vandalised offices of the ASEB, including its headquarters in Guwahati. Yesterday, there



was a 12-hour bandh in the Barak Valley districts to protest the power cuts.
