3. Power Sector in India: Drivers and Roadblocks
Drivers
Rapid economic growth has created a need for dependable and reliable supply of electricity
Electricity Act 2003 has opened up the power business in India leading to huge competition
Private sector is set to be the Major source of growth over the next decade
Advent of advance technology has led to the requirement of skillful manpower
New business model with cost reduction and risk mitigation are the key focus of the sector
Roadblocks
Implementation of the power sector reforms extremely slow
Limited supply of raw material is leading government regulations and raw material cost
Majority of current capability are public held and most of the operations are done in-house
4. Indian Power Sector - Snapshot

NTPC TATA Power
TATA Power’s revenues have fallen YoY while NTPC has grown in the same period.
10. Alternatives
New
Growth by entering new business Growth by Innovation.
Enter power services business. Use of alternate fuels and technologies.
Business
Growth by scale Growth by Replication
Improve operations (better Acquire new similar power companies and
collections, running of plants at full set up similar power plants in other
Same
load, lower AT&T losses). geographies.
Same Location New
The four options have to be evaluated on the following parameters:
1. Feasibility- Can we do the business in India in the given context?
2. Investment- Is the business asset heavy or asset light?
3. Future cash flows- How fast will the cash start to flow in?
11. New power plants: Opportunities
Power sector has targeted per capita consumption of 1000 KWh by the
end of 11th 5 year plan (2007-2012) compared to levels of 734 KWh in
2008-09.
Eleventh five year plan period sets up an ambitious capacity addition
targets to the tune of 62 GW. Majority capacity addition will be seen in
thermal sector which will account to 81.45% of total capacity addition by
2012.
The captive power generation units represents 10% of total installed
capacity. It has increased at a CAGR of 7% since 2005-06. This growing
trend is set to continue.
Power generation grew at a rate of 6.6 per cent in 2009–2010, as
compared with 2.7 per cent in 2008–09.
12. New power plants- challenges
Aligning new vendors and making new purchase contracts for coal and
gas for thermal power stations
Inventory management: The inventory of coal has to be critically
managed. The demand varies with seasons and across day
Delay of projects due to shortage of equipments which are to be
provided by BHEL
Capital Investment: Very high capital investment need for new power
plants with very high
Land acquisition: Delays in new land acquisition policies lead to
increase in the number of unfinished projects. There is a significant
mismatch of expectations of the Project Affected persons (EAP)

13. Renewable Energy- Opportunity
Capacity addition of 30,000 MW is envisaged during 12th plan for
renewable, raising the total capacity to 54,000 MW by 2022. This will have
40000 MW of wind power alone
Potential from renewable energy sources is estimated to be approximately
85,000 MW. Total potential for wind power in India is estimated at 48.5 GW
The government has announced a generation based incentive of ` 0.50 per
unit of electricity from wind power projects. This is done to increase
investments in wind projects
Research analyst firm, GBI Research predicts that the global carbon trading
market will experience a dramatic growth after 2012 and reach USD 1.2
trillion by 2020.
Low import duty for several raw materials and components, capital subsidy
and provision of accelerated depreciation for solar projects. 100% EOU is
permissible for solar products
14. Renewable Energy- Challenges
High capital costs: Solar power plants= 17 crore per MW and operational
cost 13.45-18.44 per KW. Wind Power Plant=5.5-6 crore per MW
Cost of technology development and production need to be reduced
significantly from current levels
Quality and consistency issues of renewable power arising from the
intermittent nature of electricity from wind and solar sources
Creditworthiness of counter parties has posed challenges
The demand for carbon allowances fell sharply in late 2008 and early
2009 as the recession reduced economic output, resulting in much lower
emissions than had been expected.
15. Power services business-Opportunities
The amendment in the Indian Electricity Act has paved the way to private
players to foray into the O&M services in India.
Renovation, modernization, up-rating and life extension of old thermal and
hydro power plants is also likely to contribute to the quick turnaround of
generation capacity expansion.
National Training Policy for the power sector mandate: A minimum of 1.5%
of the salary budget of the organization may be allocated for training to begin
with this should gradually be increased to 5% of the salary budget
100 per cent FDI is allowed in the Indian power sector
The Government of India (GoI) is planning nine ultra mega projects of 4 GW
each with an estimated individual investment of US$ 4 billion (INR 192
billion).
