Coal and lignite based power capacity will have to be highly flexible if renewable generation targets are achieved by the year 2022.
8The hourly despatch from coal based capacity would drop to 30,000 MW during the time of peak solar generation and would ramp up to around 1,10,000 MW during six hours during a typical monsoonal day.
8The cost of coal based generation will go up dramatically as flexibility has to be woven into their capacities
8Suitable fiscal incentives will be needed and new tariff regulations will be needed.
8Ramping up requirements for the grid will be more than 12,000 MW per hour for 10% of the duration within the next year itself.
8In this context, gas based power can again become a viable proposition -- as incremental hydel power may not be easily available, besides being expensive - if gas prices stay low and peaking power requirements are urgently needed, as is likely to be the case

Bidders have rejected an ONGC conditionality of a premium on the gas price from its Eastern Offshore fields should the government decide the dismantle the current ceiling pricing regime for deepwater gas.
8The lack of demand for gas and the price discount have forced ONGC to retreat from asking for a premium
8This cost economics of ONGC's investment in KG-DWN-98/2 will now have to be looked into in more detail to ensure that breakeven levels are reached
8This means that the DES price of LNG will effectively be the ceiling price at which producers of KG Basin gas will be able to sell the gas, if at all
8Most likely, given the slump in demand, it will have to be at a discount.

The fact that the world is moving away from long term contracts is going to make it difficult for ONGC as well as RIL-BP to find terms buyers for its gas, particularly if gas supplies exceed demand.
8The best indicator of buyers shunning long term contracts is available from current LNG global contract data.
8LNG contract sales declined to 5.7MMt in 1H 2017, a new record low in the past eight years. It was less than half of the volumes sold over the same period in 2016, indicating a very challenging market for LNG sellers.
8Even interests in short-term contracts (1-4 years) diminished as buyers expect abundant availability of cheap spot LNG cargos over the next few years due to imminent oversupply and soft oil prices.
8Portfolio suppliers are now stepping in, and grabbing term contracts instead of bulk suppliers as they have far greater flexibility.
8In India too there is an urgent need for portfolio suppliers to emerge but that will require sweeping regulatory changes
8Does the government have the stomach for it?

In what might be bad news for producers of gas in the KG Basin, the latest projections are that LNG prices are unlikely to see an upturn until at least 2025.
8By 2025, demand will catch up with supply overcapacity.
8But them again, a chance of experiencing the previously-expected supply shortage post-2025 is fading as Qatar has decided to add 30MMtpa of supply in the market by then.
8That will balance the market and prevent spot LNG prices from going very high.
8If oil prices stay close to the current futures, spot LNG prices should stay low in the 2020s

Has India gone into a complete demand slump as far as the appetite for gas is concerned?
8An analysis carried here by this website earlier this week, India is now dubbed as a "wildcard" among countries where demand for LNG is meant to be strong.
8The website spoke to several sources and they indicated that the monopoly pipeline and evacuation networks in India do not allow for a level playing field for independent buyers or traders to participate in an auction of the type held by ONGC.
8Sweeping reforms are needed to revive the demand for gas, including splitting up gas monopolies, in order to revive demand

The discount against the auction of gas has caught both ONGC and RIL-BP -- with both investing over $ 10 billion in their eastern offshore locations for a large quantum of additional gas -- unawares.
8The slump in demand, and lack of bidders for the auction has sent planners in both companies back to the drawing room.
8With private sector investment in big projects -- where gas can be consumed in bulk -- not forthcoming, there are now worries about the cost economics of these big gas production programmes.
8ONGC particularly will be staring at big losses if new gas from its KG-DWN-98/2 were to be auctioned at current levels of discount
8For RIL-BP, the breakeven is lower because of existing spare infrastructure available, but the massive discount elicited in the current discount has become a big cause for worry

he fact that ONGC's auction for 5.45 mmscmd of gas from the S1 and VA fields in its Eastern Offshore asset got a poor response and price quotes were at a huge discount to the ceiling price of $5.56/mmbtu has send the two gas producers from the region, ONGC and RIL-BP, into a tizzy.

There are massive business development opportunities now available in the domestic power transmission segment.
8Though investments in the transmission sector have surged, they have significantly lagged those in the generation sector.
8However, with the government sharpening focus on alleviating congestion via several grid enhancement projects, transmission capacities are anticipated to clock robust growth.
8Over FY18-22, investments in the transmission segment are expected to jump 1.5x compared to FY12-17 to a whopping Rs 300,000 crore in 2018-22.
8It is estimated that around Rs 9 lakh crore of projects are to be awarded on tariff based competitive bidding (TBCB) basis, an opportunity for the private sector, though PGCIL also bids under this mode.
8An entity can now built any TBCB projects under the intra-state route.

Power sector analysts will need to keep an eye on whether gas-based power plants will ever turn viable.
8Climate change conditionalities, a steep carbon tax on coal, amounting to around $ 30/tonne, and a need for peaking power requirements to take on the load of a huge increase in renewable energy generation may revive gas-based power plants in India
8But right now the future of gas-fired power looks grim
8Suppliers of LNG had once thought that India's massive appetite for gas -- powered by 1.1 billion people and a rapid increase in demand from the power sector -- will drive the dynamics of the global LNG market well into the future.
8No longer so.
8India is now considered a "wildcard" when it comes to how much demand for gas it can generate.
8While the gas demand in China and many other countries is predictable, India's demand is no longer so.
8The government's projection of gas demand in India is now termed as overtly optimistic and a spate of new LNG terminals are finding it difficult to find customers.
8Some optimists still cling to the power sector to provide the much needed impetus but others have given up hope.
8Analysts all over the world are puzzled by the myriad factors that shape gas demand in India. Untangling every single thread of this demand is turning out to be increasingly complicated
8The website carries here a thorough analysis of the various strands of arguments which eventually narrow down to three widely variant gas demand scenarios, all of which are possible, given the quirky Indian market.

This website carries here an open source modeling system that allows disaggregated energy and emission analysis at the country or company level going well into the future.
8The model uses a system of linear equations to search for lowest-cost solutions for a secure energy supply system, given externally defined constraints, mainly in terms of CO2-emissions. The general algebraic modeling system version is updated to the newest version and, in addition, extended and enhanced to include a modal split for transport, an improved trading system, and changes to storages.
8Its main focus is on interdependencies between traditionally segregated sectors: electricity, transportation, and heating; which are all included in the model.
8Model calculations suggest that in order to achieve the 1.5–2 °C target, a combination of renewable energy sources provides the lowest-cost solution, solar photovoltaic being the dominant source.

Sep 26 : Business opportunities in UP-I: Existing power capacities to be raised through RM&U schemes
UP had drawn up detailed power demand-supply projections going up to the year 2022 which provide a clear business opportunity map for power equipment and service suppliers over the next five year in Uttar Pradesh.
8To meet increasing demand, UP has planned an additional capacity of 11,282 MW from its own generating stations and allocations from central generating stations, besides sourcing power from private generating stations under Case 1 competitive bidding and renewable energy plants in a phased manner by FY22.
8Capacities of existing power plants are sought to be raised mostly through RM&U schemes.
8But these plans are now going to be rolled out faster after the Prime Minister's announcement that electricity supply will be made available to all households by December 2018.

The advent of renewable power and made pumped storage units a viable proposition but India's capacity is limited so far.
8There is only around 4785 MW of capacity installed, of which a good chunk is not working currently
8If those under construction and where DPRs have been concurred by the CEA are taken into account, the total adds up to a little more but note much.
8But there is really nothing much to talk about.

The Indo-Nepal cooperation in setting up hydel projects do not seem to be making much progress
8A lot of committees have been set up and there is a lot of to-and-fro over many years, but there is very little activity on the ground
8The website carries here a detailed synopsis of hydel projects that India has been trying to construct in Nepal but making little headway.
8The snail pace of work will discourage even the most enthusiastic supporters of these projects.
8Quick work is now needed to get at least some of these projects going
8Remember, the Chinese are knocking on Nepal's doors, and they planning to tunnel in a railway line all the way to Katmandu.

Red ink continues to be spilled in Jindal Power and Steel's balance sheet.
8A Rs 3,300 crore retrospective levy over above a heavy debt burden just when the market had turned hostile, both for steel and and power, forced the company to skip some interest payment milestones in 2016-17
8But Jindal's power assets continue to be profitable even as the company is divesting 1000 MW of its power capacity just so as to be able to handle the heavy burden imposed by its massive steel capacity expansions.
8Currently there are no plans to expand power sector capacity.
8The company however holds on to a very large hydel power portfolio in Arunachal Pradesh.
8Clearly, given the financial stress, no progress has been made in any of them in the last couple of years.
8Does it make sense then for a new promoter to take over these hydel projects?
8Will there be any takers?

The website lists here the travails of running a distribution company in India.
8Profits margins are woefully low and the future does not look particularly bright.
8Caught between politicians unwilling to allow tariff hikes and hemmed in by court dictates and non-revision of tariffs by regulatory bodies, the promoters arean increasingly disenchanted lot.
8AT&C losses are being curtailed but they can help only up to a point
8Absence of cost reflective tariffs has resulted in a large accumulation of the regulatory asset base. Unrevised dues piled up as a result
8Due to heavy regulatory oversight, lenders are unwilling to loan money.
8Also, as the tariff rate is not fully cost reflective, the cash flow is not sufficient to meet all obligations of power utilities, leading to delay in payment of dues against power supplied. The power suppliers end up slapping late payment surcharge up to the tune of 15% to 18% , much higher than bank interest rates.
8There is the constant threat to cut off supplies by power producers.
8Find out more on this discom struggling cope with all that is thrown on its way.

The total power and fuel bill of the Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) is massive Rs 5234 crore
8The captive power generation capacity of the company is 820 MW while its total power requirement is 1200 MW
8About 30% of its total power purchases are from grid utilities and only about 1.7% is from power exchanges through open access.
8SAIL wants to change this paradigm and get more open access power as grid power has found to be expensive. It will also increase its captive power generation capacity while making it more efficient. So digitalization of power capacity and more open access purchases are in the offing
8Clearly, there is a business opportunity here for those interested

In today's choppy waters, being a Category-1 power trader is not an easy job at all.
8One such trader has a big turnover but it defaulted on its debt service obligations
8This is because of a one-way traffic, wherein the seller of power invoked a bank guarantee whereas the buyer is yet to pay up and the trader was caught in between

The government is trying to push all hydro power projects to peaking mode in the country
8A survey has shown that of the total capacity of 40.6 MW, only 33 MW is in peak generation mode
8Find out what are the reasons for the inability of a fourth of the hydel power generation to run on peak mode
8An analysis has found that 10 projects with total installed capacity of 5,252 MW had hardly any margin for additional peaking due to technical constraints.
8But 11 projects with cumulative installed capacity of 5,012 MW were identified that can provide additional peaking capacity of 1,263 MW.
8More initiatives are now likely to get the defaulting units to peaking mode.

Power companies seem to be heaving a sigh of relief after the environment ministry has ruled that coal block allottees are not longer needed to provide linkage details for obtaining clearance.
8Bridge linkage will therefore stand delinked from environment clearance.
8Nevertheless, the spate of linkages granted recently seems to show that coal based power plants will continue to be set up in the state and central sector.

Sep 22 : Solar power loses a little bit of momentum-I: Panel prices go up, anti-dumping duty readied
The coal-based power sector is in turmoil but so is the renewable segment, caught as it is by rapid and momentous developments.
8The momentum witnessed so far seems to be slowing down
8Solar panel prices are rising again (get the price curve here)
8And rate of installations is slowing down.
8There is an anti-dumping duty investigation and the recommendations were initially expected to be announced around September 22nd, but that has been delayed.
8Meanwhile, India has also imposed an anti-dumping duty on tempered solar glass and wind turbine castings imported from China.
8So clearly, the uncertainty is here to stay for some time to come.
