8Eventually what kind of haircuts can you expect if a power company falls into the grip of the NCLT?
8Power assets to face higher haircuts; gas-based and under-construction projects are at most risk
Power exposure can be divided into four key categories:
8Fixed tariff – better prospects with haircut of ~30%
8Project is complete but no/partial PPAs – Parivartan scheme is launched for its revival; expected haircut of ~50%
8Gas-based – not much demand with expected haircut of ~80%-90%
8Project is not complete – no buyer; to be treated as scrap with a loss of ~90%-100%

What is the cost of new coal fired generation in India?
8And, more importantly, how does renewable energy compare with these costs?
8A critical turning point is coming: when the cost of renewable power, after adding the cost of battery storage, turns out to be cheaper than super critical coal-fired power.
8That thermal power is under pressure is already known. Get a list of coal-fired plants which are now under shutdown because of unviable production economics.
8Know more on how water shortage is hurting thermal power plants
8Also, when can we expect thermal coal demand to peak globally? What will happen to the coal industry in the aftermath?

The model exercise to look at the optimal ramp-up rate of a thermal power plant showed that the rate is far slower than what was thought earlier
8The ramp-up rate was 1% against the benchmark 3%
8The result was that a ramp up from the minimum 50% to 100% took a whole 90 minutes, from 440 MW to 800 MW

A 500 MW solar power park is ready for supply power
8But the interesting point is that no one wants to be dubbed as the Solar Power Developer (SPD)
8Is the SPD the aggregator or is the solar park promoter the SPD? Or should various individual developers be titled as SPDs?

Who is meant to pay for renewable reactive power?
8Usually the beneficiary either pays or gets paid depending upon voltage conditions
8But instances have cropped up where the entire reactive power is billed on one party, irrespective of how the voltage has behaved
8Then again, solar and wind reactive power is billed at a different rates
8There is still a lot of confusion that still needs to be settled

The Allahabad High Court order will now mean that around 20GW capacity is likely to be referred to NCLT due to lack of unanimity among lenders on reaching a resolution.
8It is now likely that cash-rich players like JSW Energy, NTPC, NLC India and Torrent Power, among others, will be able to pick up these stressed assets for a song.
8These stressed assets could face steep hair-cuts of 40-50% at the resolution stage and 60-70% at the NCLT stage in bidding values.
8This is the best possible opportunity to buy distressed assets at the cheapest possible price

The technologies needed to convert renewable energy to hydrogen are now ready.
8A target cost of USD 5–6/kg can already be achieved today by connecting an electrolyzer to the electricity grid (with 2017 Danish electricity prices that include all grid fees, levies and taxes) and prices are expected to fall further.
8A lot of fresh data has come in to establish the viability of renewable to hydrogen generation.
8The focus is now to move to large-scale applications that are able to rapidly generate economies of scale, with minimal infrastructure requirements, and in sectors where hydrogen from renewables stands out as the best-performing option for meeting climate targets.
8The target areas are large industries (refineries, chemicals facilities, methanol production) and heavy-duty transport (large fleets of hydrogen buses, trucks, trains on non-electrified lines, maritime, etc.).
8The hydrogen price curves are coming down more rapidly than before.
8Find out more on why the world is moving to a hydrogen economy quicker than was envisaged earlier.
8Know more how the refinery and petrochemical segments are going to be impacted by this looming transition

There were serious disagreements in a recent meeting of state government representatives about the kind of incentives that can be extended to those generators who install FDGs
8The decision to divide complaint and non-complaint units and then to have a separate merit order dispatch for complaint generators was opposed
8Two separate merit order lists will create a lot of confusion, it was stated.

While a dual merit order dispatch lists were opposed, there were some areas of agreement
These include:
8Excise and custom duty or GST be exempted for pollution control equipment like FGD .
8Present limit of 30% equity to be met by plants to be relaxed to 10%, this will enable plants to raise the fund comfortably and encourage early installation of pollution control equipment.
8NCEF collected through coal cess be utilized for funding the utilities for installation of pollution control equipment

There were some genuine fears expressed by some states over NTPC's view that variable cost will go up by Rs 0.10 to 0.12 upon installation of an FDG.
8State representatives are not very convinced about the extent of the rise in price.
8One argument made was that generators scheduling between 55% to 100% PLF are anyways compensated. There is also an incentive when PLF goes beyond 85%.
8The fear expressed is that if an FGD is installed then then a plant will not get schedule due to higher tariff rate is unjustified, it is argued.
8In any case, the fixed cost is paid by discom as per PPA.
8There is also the issue of who is going to verify incremental variable cost due to FGD installation.
8Further, the variable cost would change every month, and there is the possibility of some gaming by the gaming by generator.
8The NTPC representative then piped in, saying that that variable cost increases should be addressed through regulation via an agreed-upon methodology.

The move to 5-minute scheduling of power is unlikely to happen anytime soon
8There are too many variables which are not in place
8Majority of the stakeholders are opposed to the idea
8What is more, the 5-minute system would not benefit DAM (Day Ahead Market) but may somewhat benefit the intra-day market.
8Overall, the visible benefits are too little for such a switch to be necessitated.

What should be the cold start-up time for a thermal power plant?
8The issue is now coming increasingly into focus on account of the need for flexible generation
8Once a unit is taken to the "RSD" format, the rule is that it should be able to come back on within eight hours
8But many units are able to adhere to the norm
8The operators of one supercritical unit have now claimed that it will take as many as 35 hours to start after going to "RSD" mode
