1. Current Electric Industry Taiwan Power Company • Industry Structure • Self-generation • co-generation • renewables IPPs 5 projects, 7,220 MW • Power Generation • 72 plants, 27,385 MW. 25yrs PPA Transmission Avoided cost For self-use Distribution Supply obligation self-use users Customers
Power System (2000) 1st Nuclear 2nd Nuclear Linkou Shenao N Ever Power IPP Hsiehho Kuokuang IPP Peak Capacity: 29,124 MW Peak Load: 25,854 MW Rserve: 3,270 MW 12.6% Hsintao IPP Tunghsiao HopingIPP Taichung Starenergy IPP Takuan Hydro Mailiao IPP Mingtan Pumped Storage ChiahuiIPP Penghu SunbaIPP IPP ( 2,250 MW) Nuclear ( 5,144 MW) Hsinta Nanpu Hydro ( 4,422 MW) Talin 345 kV Transmission Line 3rd Nuclear Thermal (17,818MW: coal 8100; oil 5404; gas 4314 MW) Extra High Voltage Substation
2. IPP Programs • Policy Objectives • To meet power demand at reserve margin of 20% • 1st & 2nd rounds (1995): 10,260 MW (1997-2002); • 3rd round (1999): 2,840 MW (2003-2004) • To balance regional supply and demand • To prepare for power liberalization • 1st & 2nd rounds: competitive bidding (base load, medium load) • 3re round: fixed price, first come first serve (gas fired, medium load) • To follow clean energy policy
3. Measures Assisting IPPs • Revising relative regulations • Use of public ground. • Allowance of land use for power plants. • Governmental fund financing. • Foreign capital share up to 49%. • Setting up an ad hoc committee • Committee members from related government agencies: • construction/ land authority/EPA/local governments • Solving disputes on Power Purchase Agreement(PPA) • Surplus capacity • Foreign exchange reflection
4. The Envisage of the Forth Round IPPs • Rules on applications for a preparatory permit • Required capacity: • 1. Year 2007: 100 MW, gas fired and in the North only • 2. Year 2008-2009: 320 MW ( 150 MW reserved for TPC) • Requisitions (Construction planning plus the following 6 documents): • 1.Environment Impact Assessment • 2.General agreement from local government • 3.Agreement of fuel supply • 4.Agreement of power interconnection • 5.Agreement of land use • 6.Letter of intent on financing
Rules on Power purchase • Purchase prices: • The Price will decided by bidding process held by Taipower . • Dispatch rules: • 1. Year 2007, medium load • 2. Year 2008-2009, base load • Transmission constraints: • Taipower should announce its transmission constraints in one month since this program is implemented.
5. Basic Structure of Liberalization Wholesale Integrated Utility • Generation • Existed Plants • Under-construction • Approved Projects • Future Projects • Generators • 1st, 2nd round IPPs • 3rd round IPPs • (Non-utility) After PPA terminated • Generators • IPP's new units • NewIPPs • (Non-utility) Self-generators ISO transmission Direct Supply Bilateral Contract Distribution Supply Obligation Self-use Users Contestable Customers Direct Users Captive Customers (regulated tariff) (Unregulated tariff) (Unregulated tariff)
6. Energy Policy Requirements Integrated Utility Wholesale Generation • Generators • 1st, 2nd round IPPs • 3rd round IPPs • (Non-utility) • Generators • IPP's new units • NewIPPs • (Non-utility) Self-generators §required to install hydro and nuclear power. §require to have gas- fired and renewable capacity through: 1.installation, or 2.PPA. ISO §Exempted from the obligation when its capacity less than the assigned Direct Supply §Generators are required to have gas-fired and renewable capacity through: 1.installation, 2.purchase by PPA, or 3.pay fund Bilateral Contract Supply Obligation Contestable Customers Direct Users Self-use Users Captive Customers
7. Revise of Electricity Law • To allow Taipower to be vertically integrated and independent of the privatization process. • To allow new industries such as generation, transmission, and distribution to enter the market as soon as the law is passed. • To establish the Independent System Operator(ISO). • To allow electricity customers to choose their suppliers. • To require electricity industries to install certain percentage of clean energy capacity. • To require Integrated utility and distribution company have the obligation of guaranteed supply of electricity. • To allow generators to supply power directly to nearby users through private power lines.
