  1. Pricing policy for renewable energy: Avoided Cost based Tariff Bandula S. Tilakasena Project Director Trincomalee Coal Power Project Ceylon Electricity Board 21 October, 2007

  2. Introduction • Classification of Renewable Energy • Main Features of the current Standardized Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) • Tariff based on CEB’s avoided costs • Historical trends

  3. Classification of Renewable Energy Plants • Grid Connected :Connected to the integrated electricity distribution grid and deliver electricity exclusively to the grid • Self Generating :Connected to the grid and while delivering electricity to the grid, a part of the electricity generated is used by the developer • Off- Grid : Operate in isolation

  4. Standardized Power Purchase Agreement: Eligibility Capacity Limit : Less than 10 MW Energy produced from : • Mini Hydro • Bio mass • Cogeneration CEB/SPPA.bst

  5. Standardized Power Purchase Agreement Main Features… • All energy produced by the Facility will be purchased by CEB • The power plant is not subject to dispatch • The Power Purchase tariff is based on the Avoided Costs of CEB, and is announced each year

  6. Standardized Power Purchase Agreement Main Features… • The cost of transmission interconnection has to be borne by the Developer • Electrical interconnections to comply with the CEB Guide for Interconnection of Embedded Generators –December 2000 • The floor tariff over the term is 90% of the initial year Tariff

  7. Tariff calculation methodology - Step 1 Calculate the cost of a unit generated by each plant in operation using applicable fuel costs and other plant data such as heat rates.

  8. Tariff calculation methodology - Step 2 Compute the expected plant factors for each month in the year under consideration using projections prepared by CEB’s System Control Centre.

  9. Tariff calculation methodology- Step 3 Calculate the fraction of time that each plant operates in the margin during a given month using the expected monthly plant factors.

  10. Seasonal Tariff – Step 4 • Estimate the avoided costs for wet and dry seasons separately by taking the arithmetic average of the months in each season • Allowances made on account of Transmission Losses and Overheads incurred by CEB May -January February ,March-April

  11. Tariff calculation methodology - Step 5 Allowances made on account of Station Losses, Transmission Losses and overheads incurred by CEB are as follows: • Station Losses 3.0 % • Transmission Losses 3.2 % • CEB Overheads1.5 %

  12. Tariff calculation methodology - Step 6 Tariff offered each year is the arithmetic average of : • Avoided cost of generation for the year, calculated according to the methodology described above, and • Avoided costs of generation used for estimating the price offered in the previous two years
