  1. Presentation on Investment Opportunities in Indian Power Sector and Cooperation with IEAByR.V. SHAHISecretary, Ministry of PowerGovernment of IndiaDecember13, 2006

  2. Strengths of Indian Economy • India has been able to achieve an economic growth rate of 8% per annum during last few years. • Industrial growth rate over 9%. • Domestic savings rates have been rising and reached over 29%. • Inflation level moderate, despite of sharp rise in international oil prices. • Current Account Deficit only 1.3% of GDP. • Foreign exchange reserves about USD 170 billion.

  3. Strengths of Indian Power Sector • During 2007-12, average Economic growth rate projected at 9% pa. • Power sector to also grow by 9% to sustain the economic growth. • Installed capacity to reach 800 GW by 2031-32 from the present level of 128 GW. Present captive generation 41,000 MW. • Enabling environment created by enacting Electricity Act and various policies framed thereunder.

  4. New Liberal Competitive Framework • New Electricity Act 2003 - Liberal and competitive framework. • Entry Barriers • Removed in generation. • Reduced in transmission, distribution and supply. • Open access in transmission already in place in interconnected all India grid. • Open access to consumers above 1 MW by Jan, 2009. Contd..

  5. New Liberal Competitive Framework • 100% FDI permitted in all segments. • Duty free import of equipment permitted for Mega Power Projects. • Most project execution through International Competitive Bidding.

  6. National Electricity Policy • Total Village Electrification in 5 years. By year 2012 : • Per capita availability 1000 units. • Installed capacity over 200,000 MW. • Spinning reserves 5% . • Minimum lifeline consumption of one unit per household per day. • Inter-regional transmission capacity 37,000 MW. • Quality and reliable power supply.

  7. Tariff of all Generation and Transmission Projects in Private Sector through Competitive route- Public sector to complete transition in five years. • Reduction of cross subsidy to (+)(-) 20% in next five years. • Emphasis on facilitating Open Access in Distribution; clear formulation on cross subsidy surcharge. • Transmission Tariff framework sensitive to distance and direction. • Strict Implementation of Performance Standards. • Agriculture Tariff to leverage sustainable use of Ground Water Resources. • Time bound introduction of MYT. Tariff Policy

  8. Competitive Tariff Bidding for Project Development • Tariff based International Competitive Bidding for selection of project developer. • 7 Large coal based Ultra Mega projects of 4000 MW each being developed. • Mix of Coastal projects with imported coal and pit head integrated coal mining- cum- power projects. • Use of more efficient super critical technology – lower CO2 emissions. • Final tariff bids already received for 2 projects- selection of successful bidder by December, 2006. Contd..

  9. Competitive Tariff Bidding contd.. • Two more projects to be awarded in April/ June’ 2007. • Bids of other projects in pipeline. • States initiating bids for smaller capacity thermal projects. • Bids for transmission projects in pipeline.

  10. The Energy Strategy • Full development of hydro potential. Hydro power irrespective of size, renewable source of energy. • Domestic coal to remain primary source. Emphasis on Super Critical Plants and Clean Coal Technologies. • Import of coal on moderate scale for coastal locations. • Use of gas dependent on availability and price. • Import of gas – LNG terminals. Gas pipelines from Western and Central Asia. Contd..

  11. Alternate Sources of Energy • Emphasis on Biomass. • Wind power potential – success story for rapid development. More than 3800 MW added in the last four years. • At over 5500 MW , Wind capacity 4th largest in the world. • Development of mini and micro hydroelectric projects. • Solar power needs intensive R&D for cost reduction . Extensive development of solar dependent on CDM benefits to offset present high cost. Contd..

  12. The Energy Strategy • Nuclear power presently 3,900 MW- Share of Nuclear power to be enhanced. No CO2 emissions. • Mastery in fuel cycle and technology. • Fuel Constraint. • Rapidincrease in share of nuclear power dependent on International Cooperation.

  13. Energy Efficiency – High Priority • Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). • Standards and Labeling of appliances. • Building Codes being developed. • Energy conservation norms for industry and performance standards for equipment being developed. • Public awareness campaign launched.

  14. Low Energy Intensity and Low Carbon Path of Development

  15. Investment Requirements During XI Plan (2007-2012) in Power Sector • USD 50 Billion for Generation. • Another USD 50 Billion for Transmission, Distribution and Rural Electrification. • Total USD 100 Billion. • At present 43,000 MW generation capacity is already under execution. Investment of USD 50 Billion committed. • Public sector investments have been stepped up ; will need to be supplemented through private investments.

  16. Merchant Power Plants • Development of Merchant power plants with highly competitive tariff- a new electricity market development initiative. • To fill the demand supply gap. • Facilitated by Open access in transmission and distribution. • Full market risk to be absorbed by the developer. • Coal linkage to be provided for plants up to 1000 MW size. Captive coal blocks for plants in the range of 500- 1000 MW.

  17. Present India - IEA Cooperation • MoU signed with IEA during April 1998 for cooperation in power sector. • Training programmes organised by IEA on Energy statistics, forecasting etc. • Jointly organised International workshop on Standards and Labeling. • India participating in IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D programme. • India participating in IEA DSM implementation agreement.

  18. Proposed Future India - IEA Cooperation • Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management. • Data Management, Demand supply mismatch projections, Energy Balance : method of assessment. • Establishing World over that Hydro power irrespective of size is renewable, and accepting these projects under CDM. • Collaboration in Clean Coal Technologies. • 20 year projections for gas availability and prices. • Capital cost benchmarks for Nuclear power projects. • 20 year projections for nuclear fuel availability and prices.
