Sembcorp Industries deal with Bangaldesh for sale of  250MW of power represents around 19% of Sembcorp Gayatri Power Ltd's (SGPL) 1,320MW installed capacity. The plant has been in losses due to the lack of PPA since the inception of operations.
Some questions are answered here;
8What price was the deal arrived at?
8How will Sembcorp Gayatri Power fare now that the deal is in place?
8Does the deal make sense for India, wherein the CO2 emissions take place within India while the power is supplied at the lowest cost basis to Bangladesh.
8Should such power plants exporting to India pay for the cost of CO2 emissions in India?

 The renewable energy sector could have grown at a faster rate had it not been for the detrimental and constraining role played by financial institutions and banks, according to a new analysis that policy makers must take note.
 8The bank-dominated financial system juxtaposed against an underdeveloped capital market leaves banks as the major source of funding for green renewable energy projects.
 8Considering these projects supposedly more risky with low rate of return on their invested capital, their reluctance to finance them has been the major barrier to the expansion of green renewable energy.
 8Addressing the financing challenge is both possible and necessary to remove the barrier to a faster expansion of green energy in Asia.

If you are looking at pumped storage projects to power the need to stabilize the grid with the advent of renewable energy, then you are mistaken.
 8There is only talk and very little action on the ground
 8Only a few of them are functional, some are facing problems
 8And a few which being constructed won't come on for some time to come
 8For solutions to grid stability, pump storage systems are not going to help much, not the way it is going now

A controversy has also erupted over Adani Power Limited's 2x800 MW super-critical thermal power plant to be located in the Godda district of Jharkhand.
8The plant is meant to supply power to Bangladesh.
8An EPC contract was awarded to Shanghai Electric Power Construction Corporation but work at the ground has not been started yet.
8As a host state, Jharkhand is legally entitled to buy 25% of the electricity, but the company plans to export the entire electricity to Bangladesh while sourcing Jharkhand's 25% share from another power plant, albeit at a higher price.
8The land acquisition plan has come run into trouble as villagers are strongly opposed to the plant.
8Perhaps they have a point reasonable point of view because the question is whether it is justified to take over local land, build a power plant, emit emissions and then ferry the power at competitive rates to Bangladesh? Details

At long last, combine cycle gas based power plant are back in demand. And they will not be subsidy driven this time around.
 8The expansion of the renewable industry will not mean that gas based power plants will be increasingly called upon to fill up the gap in power supply in the absence of large scale energy storage systems.
 8This is part of a major shift now on in the Indian power sector, in which conventional power plants shift from baseload to intermediate load operation
 8Indian power grid operators recently recommended the need for power plants to have fast load ramp-ups and shorter low-load and start-up time to ensure stable grid in the face of increasing injection of intermittent renewable energy. 
 8The demand for ancillary services such as provision of control reserves and frequency support, as well as tertiary control reserves along with consequential load-follow operation has gone up.
 8New operating dynamics, never seen earlier, have now emerged, such as two-shift operation, load-follow operation, island operation, black start capability, frequency support and very high start-up and operating reliability.

This is where gas based power plants will now step in. And the change in coming quickly, within the coming few months. 
 8The pattern of dispatch of combine cycle gas turbines (CCFTs).
 8There will be a general shift for CCGTs from base load to flexible operation. 
 8Flexible operation is broadly defined as any mode of operation other than base load, such as a two-shift operation and load following.
 8Two shift operations will mean starting up and shutting down a plant each day to meet load demand during periods of high demand.

Gas suppliers were recently contacted by India's grid operators to help out with two-shift gas plant operations.
8There was some initial reservations as such operations would lead to luctuations in pipeline pressure which would affect the others connected to their supply system. 
8But it is now learnt that least one of them have agreed to try out the experiment8
8A mock test is proposed to be carred out at the end of the month in one power plant wherein a gas turbine would be scheduled for 2-3 hours of operation during the evening peak to examine the level of  pressure fluctuations in the gas pipelines.
8On successful completion of the trial, the proposed two shift operation would be implemented. 
8The energy generated during this mock test will be scheduled to the beneficiaries of the respective generating stations. 
8f the system holds out, gas based power plants across the country will be moved into double shift. And nearly all of them will start pumping out power once again, given India's growing appetite for flexible power..
 8If the demand for gas from the Indian power sector picks up in this manner, the gas supply industry in India is in for a major boost

The real reason why pollution is so rampant in India is due to false reporting of data
 8The rules are all in place but polluters just do not follow them
 859% of the industrial plants whose audits were back-checked by an independent agency were found to be polluting above the standard.
 8The other place where fraud occurs is at the auditing level. Monitoring reports carried out by accredited third-party labs were found to be heavily biased. For instance, independent back-check pollution readings were 0.3 standard deviations higher than the readings produced in official audits. In other words, 29% of industries were falsely reported to be in compliance.
 8A new study claims that pollution an be brought down by simple measures:
 -- Install real time emission monitors and check the data remotely
 -- Publicize the list of polluters to build public pressure
 -- Move to fines instead of heavy fisted criminal penalties
 -- Introduce emission trading
 -- Introduce a different set of incentives to get auditors to report correct data
 -- Introduce Odd-Even driving restrictions during times of heavy pollution, as data shows that this works

One of the reasons why the power industry in India had been in trouble is because it has always been mired in red tape and heavy institutional regulations.
 8Here is a power company which gave a Rs 200 crore bank guarantee to to get a pithead super thermal power station along with a captive coal mine going
 8But the beneficiary state utility was meant to acquire the land but failed to do so
 8The promoter has gone ahead and acquired the requisite private land that it was made to acquire
 8But the acquisition of government and forest land got held over
 8The promoter is now demanding that the bank guarantee be released
 8The process has slowed down, and the power ministry is now figuring out whether performance benchmarks were indeed set for the promoter
 8And if so, whether he fulfilled the conditions or not
 8It will be a long while before the promoter gets his money back, it seems from way the proceedings are going as of now

Washed non-coking coal does seem to have too many takers
8This one primary reason why beneficiated coal demand is not picking up strongly enough.
8Washery projects are also getting delayed because of delay in identification of land for washeries and reject handling, and time taken for acquisition and possession of the sites.
8Then again, for Coal India washeries, there is an inordinate amount of delay in tendering activity
8Also, tender participation is very low, leading to retender

The wind energy is going through its transition
8The move from a Feed-in-Tariff regime to a reverse bidding process and have seen tariffs fall drastically.
8The issues plaguing industry are on the evacuation of wind energy generated and delay in payment by Discoms.
8But the situation is now improving
8However, those who felt comfortable with the earlier regime continue to demand the continuing of the Feed-in-Tariff regime for wind power projects below 25 MW.
8Apologists claim that this will help not only the small and medium installations mostly for captive use, but would also ensure a balanced and inclusive growth.
8The argument for continued support to the renewable industry arises from the argument that the when all externalities are taken into account, the cost of one unit of thermal power will
be several times the cost of renewable power. And MNRE draft report already proves this point
8Only when this concept is internalized by the policy and decision makers, will RE get the desired thrust.

The government's decision to allocate 110% of the gas quantity needed for CNG and PNG through artificially low priced domestic gas is causing a demand distortion of unprecedented proportion.
8As domestic gas price has remained stagnant, the price of competing liquid fuels such diesel and petrol have flared up as subsidies have been removed on the latter.
8The price differential as of now is as high as 68%, causing the market to become distorted
8The differentials between competing fuels have thus become artificially wide
8As increasingly less polluting BS-VI sootless fuel is supplied to the market, the government will need to rethink the policy of 110% allocation of cheap domestic gas to the CNG, if not the PNG segment.
8As renewable energy infusion goes up, the power sector may need to be bailed out too with some low priced gas

Once a Renewable Procurement Obligation (RPO) has entered into, any default in off take will attract penal provisions
8This was what happened Uttarakhand Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) when it failed to discharge its RPO obligation on the ground of subdued power demand.
8UPCL was given the option to carryover its RPO to the consecutive year
8But then again, UPCL did not fulfill its RPO quote on the ground that the RPO tariff rate went up from the previous year
8This was found to be unbecoming conduct on the part of UPCL. Hence penalties for default in lifting its RPO had to be imposed

A transmission company can encash the bank guarantee of a generator in case the later is not in a position to either open or LC or pay transmission charges after the completion of a transmission line by the transmission company for connecting the generation station to the grid.
8Even if force majure conditions, such as lack of environmental clearance or problems in land acquisition cause a delay in the commissioning of the generation plant, the owner will have to pay up if the concomitant transmission line is commissioned
8Regulators upheld the contention of the transmission company that it is within its rights to encash the bank guarantee.
8However the arguments are still being heard on the generator's plea that it is not liable to pay in case of force majure or a change in law.

The power sector is struggling to cope with the shortage of low-priced domestic gas as the bulk of it now diverted to CGD companies.
8NTPC recently lost out on securing 2 mmscmd of new ONGC domestic gas because consumers were unwilling to give a go-ahead for a deal.
8The gas could have been available for five years at around $5.05/mmbtu, with a ceiling price of $6.78/mmbtu
8This was a deal lost at power could have been available at between Rs 5.21 to Rs 5.47/kwh.

Power utilities which buy power for NTPC's gas based power stations have now realized that it will be prudent to keep some RLNG supplies available to take care of times when demand for power surges ahead.
8Gas generation units are capable of quick ramp-up when there is an urgent demand for power during peak season.
8NTPC is now working out a long term LNG deal with a gas supplier as liquid fuel priced electricity has become frighteningly expensive.
Find out the details of the deal in terms of:
8ACQ quantity
8Flexible gas supply timing
8Flexibility in daily supply quantity
8Annual TOP quantity
