Indian power scenario
?

The power industry in India is divided into 3 major sectors: ? State Sector ? Central Sector ? Private Sector The major types of power generation in India consists of thermal power, hydro power and nuclear power. The power sector in India is characterized by deficits with demand outstripping the supply. Going forward, it is likely that the same situation will continue till the end of XII plan.

?

?

As per 'Eleventh Five Year Plan' of planning commission, India is world's 5th largest energy consumer accounting for 3.45% of global energy consumption.
However, the per capita energy consumption in India remains low.

Souce: International Energy Association

?

?

The per capita consumption of electricity of 704 Kwh in India is quite low as compared to global average of 3240 Kwh

India’s Per capita power consumption is much below developed countries indicating an impending Huge demand rise and inability to meet the same would result in high power deficit

India’s generation alternatives
?

Natural Gas
?

Limited availability of indigenous gas; high price of LNG ? Gas shortages expected to persist despite new domestic production
?

Hydro
?

India has substantial hydro potential mainly in the North and Northeast ? High capital costs, long gestation periods and E&S issues ? Run-of-river hydros affected by seasonality of rainfall
?

Wind
?

Intermittent nature makes wind unsuitable for large scale base load demand ? India has a moderate wind regime with low load factors of 20-25%
?

Nuclear
?

India has ambitious plans for nuclear power but faces many challenges Domestic coal resources are abundant in Eastern India

?

Coal
? ? ? ?

Imported coal is reasonably accessible for coastal locations
Coal is a viable alternative for meeting base load demand GoI is emphasizing the use of cleaner technologies

Installed Capacity
? Total installed capacity =

147,965 MW ? State has the highest share in the total installed capacity in the country. ? It is also highest in terms of capacity addition in the year 2008-09. ? Total Capacity added = 3,454 MW
? State – 53%
Source: Central Electricity Authority

? Centre – 22%

? Private – 25%

Installed Capacity
? About 52% of nation’s

capacity is contributed by coal based stations. ? Hence coal remains a key fuel for power generation. ? Focus has been shifting to other sources of energy due to various environmental factors like CO2 emissions.

Indian Demand – Supply Position
?

India is facing energy shortages of 11% of demand and even higher peak shortages of 14% ? Demand-supply gap is more acute in Western region (where 70% of the Project’s power will be supplied) with energy deficit at 16% and peak deficit at 21% ? Capacity additions of 160,000 MW required in the next 10 years to satisfy India’s power needs ? New capacity will need to come from a combination of coal, hydro, gas, nuclear and wind projects

?

?

Development Of UMPP
? In spite of many Govt. Initiative and Reforms, No

significant Private investment in power sector
? Main reasons are:

? Lack of adequate Payment Security
? Difficulties in project formulations and tie up for

inputs & clearances like fuel linkage, environmental clearance etc. ? Ultra mega Power Project is a step to boost private investment.

Development Of Ultra Mega Power Projects
UMPPs are expected to provide cheaper power on account of :
? Large sized projects of 4000 MW capacity each

with economy of scale.
? Well developed project with tie up of inputs/

clearance will provide comfort to the bidders.

Salient features of UMPP
? UMPPs to adopt large size units of supercritical technology. ? UMPPs to be set up at Pithead and at coastal locations. ? Pithead Projects to have captive coal mines and coastal

projects to use imported coal,
? Shell companies formed for project development activities

and for carrying out bidding process.
? Clearance/ inputs to be tied up such as land, water, coal

block, public hearing, environmental clearance, forest clearance etc. before bidding
? Project Report to be ready before bidding
? Land acquisition to be completed alongwith R&R package

by Shell companies.
? Shell companies to be transferred to the successful bidder

Site selection
? CEA studied and examined number of sites for

? Pit head location with domestic coal ? Coastal location with imported coal
? 7 suitable locations have been identified :

? Three pithead locations based on domestic coal

(Sasan in MP, Akaltara in Chattisgarh & site in Orissa). ? Four coastal locations based on imported coal (Mundra in Gujarat, Girye in Maharashtra, Tadri in Karnataka and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh). ? Work on Sasan & Mundra projects at advanced stage.

Formation of Shell companies
? PFC has taken initial actions for registration of shell

companies (SPVs) and following shell companies have been incorporated:
1. Sasan Power Limited (M.P) 2. Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (Mundra Port) 3. Coastal Maharashtra Mega Power Limited 4. Coastal Karnataka Power Limted 5. Akaltara Power Limited (Chhattisgarh)

? For pit head site in Orissa and Krishnapatnam

coastal site in Andhra Pradesh SPV being incorporated

Function of Shell companies
? Preparation of project report ? Land acquisition

? Allocation of fuel linkages/ coal blocks
? Allocation of water by state government ? Appointment by consultants for EIA & project Report

? Appointment of consultants for International

competitive bidding document preparation & evaluation ? Various approvals & statutory clearances ? Off-take/ sale of power- section 63 of EA2003 provision ? Power evacuation/ transmission system

PROJECT TATA MUNDRA UMPP

TATA’s Mundra Power Project
? ? ? ?

4,000 MW Greenfield coal-fired plant located near Mundra Port, Gujarat India’s first private sector power project using supercritical technology; most energy efficient plant in the country Awarded by Ministry of Power through tariff-based competitive bidding in December 2006 Levelized tariff of Rs 2.26 per kWh

?
? ? ? ? ?

Project cost of Rs. 17000 crore to be financed by equity (Rs 4250 crore) and debt from IFC, ADB, Korean ECAs, local banks (Rs 12750 crore)
Will sell electricity to state-owned utilities in 5 states – Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab First unit of 800 MW to be commissioned in July 2011 Will import coal from Indonesia and other countries through the Mundra Port Main equipment from Korea and Japan Sponsor is Tata Power, India’s largest private sector power company with operating capacity of 2,355 MW (1,838 MW in thermal, 457 MW in hydro and 62 MW in wind)

Project Description
? Facilities by CGPL:
? Power Plant ? 5 coal-fired, super critical steam electricity generating stations, 830 MW capacity each ? Cooling water system ? Once-through cooling system using sea water ? Daily requirement of 15.12 million cubic meters ? Inlet through Kotdi Creek ? Outlet through Mudhwa Creek

Project Description
? Water production system ? Daily requirement of 25,710 cubic meters of fresh water ? Desalination plant used to make fresh water ? 25,280 cu.mt. for process use including coal & ash handling ? 430 cu.mt. for domestic purposes ? Residential complex ? Access road

Land required & ownership

Project management
? CGPL responsible for overall management of

project implementation ? Staffing & recruitment to be carried out by CGPL ? Power plant require about 718 people ? Continuous monitoring to be done by CGPL officials

Need for Alternatives
? Gujarat has a deficit in peak power demand of 1,785 MW in ?

?
? ?

fiscal year (FY) 2007 and would be 3,656 MW by FY2011. For the region encompassing Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, the peak power demand would be 78,849 MW by FY2011. Even considering the installation of new plants, there would be a shortfall of 22,829 MW by FY2011 in the region. It is evident that the Project is desirable to close the demand-supply gaps. The alternative without the project is obviously undesirable, as the worsening power shortage would constrain economic growth.

Why coal based UMPP?
? Alternative fuel ? Coal is still the most cost-effective fuel for generating

electricity. Although coal has greater pollution potential than natural gas, importing natural gas requires a large investment in infrastructure. ? As the western region has no potential large-scale hydropower sites, the only alternatives are coal and nuclear energy. ? Between coal and nuclear, coal is the preferred alternative given its shorter gestation period, lower costs, and relative safety.

Why at Mundra?
? Alternative Project locations

? The location of a power plant is broadly determined by

demand and capacity in the transmission system. ? Locating the power plant as close as possible to regional centres of demand reduces power losses in transmission. ? The project site therefore has to be in Gujarat to meet demand in Gujarat and other western states. ? At present, there is no power plant located near the project area. ? The nearest power plants are at Sikka, about 250 km away, and Akrimota, about 210 km away. ? However, the 660 MW Adani Power Project is being developed by Adani Power Limited near the project area to supply electricity to industries to be located in MSEZ

Cooling System for Mundra UMPP
? Alternative Cooling System
? Two cooling system alternatives were considered: ? (i) a closed or recirculation system and ? (ii) an open or once-through system. ? In the closed system, warm cooling water is cooled in

cooling towers before being recycled. The system needs make-up water to compensate for evaporation loss, and needs to discharge a certain portion of its water to maintain cooling water quality. ? A closed system for the Project would require about 55,000 m /hr of make-up water and discharge about 31,000 m /hr of cooling tower blow down into the sea. ? In the once-through system, the entire volume of warm cooling water is directly discharged into a receiving water body. ? For the Project, the once-through cooling water system will discharge 550,000 m/hr of warm cooling water into
3 3

Supercritical Technology
? Alternative technologies
? The technology options for large pulverized coal-

fired power plants are subcritical and supercritical. ? Supercritical plants operate at steam pressure above 22.1 mega Pascal (about 3,200 pounds per square inch) and use once-through boilers. In the supercritical stage, water becomes gas. ? Subcritical plants operate at steam pressure below 19 mega pascals and use drum-type boilers. In the subcritical stage, the steam is a mix of liquid and gas.

Environmental impacts & Mitigation
? During Construction ? Noise pollution from various heavy equipments ? Dust & emissions from equipments & vehicles ? Possible pilferage of oil and fuels from vehicles ? Polluted water deposition in nearby water bodies ? Excavated materials found from various sites ? Human wastes would be generated as the work force

would be around 5000-6000 workers

? Mitigation of risks during construction
? Noise walls to be installed, speed of vehicles &

machines to be kept under check ? Continuous sprinkling of water to reduce dust emission & air pollution ? Maintenance of machines & equipments ? Materials found from evacuation sites to be used for filling large pits ? Solid human wastes to be disposed in pits

IFC Role & Additionality
?

IFC requested by GoI to support this first private supercritical project in the country
? IFC

participated in pre-bid consultations to improve Project’s bankability is important to boost confidence of domestic & international investors in India’s power sector

? Success

?

Project has significant risks due to size and complexity
? First

private project using supercritical coal technology in India

? Significantly

larger than any previous project by the sponsor, tripling its generation capacity played a key role in financial structuring on behalf of all lenders

? IFC

? IFC’s

presence contributes indirectly towards mitigation of political and regulatory risk

IFC Role & Additionality
?

Project requires very long maturities (20 years) to achieve a low tariff for consumers
?IFC’s

financing is critical to meet large debt financing

needs
?Local

banks are providing significant debt but are unable to meet entire debt needs due to exposure limits commercial banks have limited appetite for long maturities because of refinancing risks and poor creditworthiness of state-owned off takers

?International

?

IFC’s involvement requires CGPL to comply with more stringent E&S standards than GoI’s

Fit with IFC’s Climate Change Strategy in the Electricity Sector
?

India has few scalable alternatives to coal; IFC encourages use of more efficient coal technology which results in lower carbon emissions

?

Project will have amongst the lowest GHG emission rates globally lower by 40%, 18% and 16% compared to the average GHG emission rate of coal based plants in India, across the globe and OECD, respectively
First supercritical project sets a precedent for efficient coal usage: consumes 1.7 million tons of coal less per year than traditional subcritical plants of comparable size

?

?

IFC support for this project will have a strong demonstration effect for other developing countries that need to develop coal-fired generation

Risks & Mitigants
? In June 2007, Tata Power acquired a 30% stake in two coal

mines in Indonesia to hedge the fuel supply risk for its Mundra UMPP project ? The acquisition has turned out to be meaningful, since Tata Power has enjoyed returns from higher coal prices by earning dividends from the coal mines until the commissioning of the Mundra UMPP project ? The political and regulatory environment pose a threat to our assumptions, but we believe that the coal contracts of work (CCOW), under which the company operates provide a partial hedge to this risk ? Mundra Port and SEZ Ltd (MSEZ IN, not rated) are planning a 35MT per annum terminal by 2010 and any delay in its execution could lead to fuel supply concerns. However, the total demand for 12–13MT per annum of imported coal is likely to be required only in 2013, by which time, we believe the coal terminal will be ready.

Risks & Mitigants
? A delay in the execution of projects, would pose increased capital

cost risk, owing to accumulated interest during construction, which would affect earnings.
? The company has already awarded contracts for its projects under execution

and, hence, we believe delays in equipment supply would be highly unlikely. ? Since Tata Power placed orders with Toshiba and Doosan

immediately after the project was awarded, we believe timely supply is likely and cost overruns can be avoided despite the significant volatility in commodity prices over the past year, as the main equipment supplier would have been able to hedge by forward buying for this project ? To hedge against varying shipping costs, the company is planning to acquire ships for coal transportation through a wholly owned subsidiary based in Singapore [Source: Hindu Business Line, 20 December 2007] (this move could help it obtain tax incentives that are to shipping companies). In addition, shipping prices have fallen in the recent past, providing Tata Power the opportunity to charter ships for the long term at reasonable rates. We assume Tata Power’s average transportation cost to be INR750 per tonne for the project life led by both the acquisition and chartering of ships.

Risks & Mitigants
?

Largest ever power plant in India with significant implementation risks including delays and cost overruns
?

Key technology supplied by reputable contractors at fixed price; adequate contingencies and sponsor support for cost overruns and delays

?

Fuel supply risks from imported coal could expose Project to volatility in coal pricing
?

Long term coal supply contract at reasonable prices; Coastal Gujarat Power Limited plans to further diversify coal sources

?

Delays in completing the requisite transmission lines and port infrastructure
?

Transmission & port infrastructure developed by reputable companies with good track record

Risks & Mitigants
?

Off-take risks from poor creditworthiness of the state-owned utilities
?

Project’s tariff is highly competitive; ensures that state utilities are incentivized to pay; power sector reforms progressing in most Indian

states
?

Refinancing risks after 10 years of operations because of insufficiently long tenors from local banks
?

IFC and other foreign lenders providing long-term loans with 20 year tenor which will help mobilize other commercial lenders when needed

?

CER price volatility in the international markets subjects the project to the risks of fluctuating gains arising out of sale of CER’s
?

This risk mitigation mechanism is not freely available in the market and
thus it cannot be effectively mitigated

Agenda
? India Power Scenario

? Development of UMPP
? Project Tata Mundra UMPP ? Assumptions in Financial Model ? Financial Projections ? Key Risks ? Recommendation

Recommendation
? Given that fuel security is a major concern for most thermal plants in

India, Tata Power has backward integrated by acquiring a minority stake in Indonesia’s coal mines with an offtake agreement ? The Mundra UMPP project can lower the amount of coal burnt each year by 1.7MT, thus lowering emissions by 3.6MT per year, using super critical technology, which is more efficient than sub-critical technology commonly used in India. As a result, the Mundra UMPP is eligible for clean development mechanism (CDM) projects, which will allow it to claim 2.8mn carbon credits during 2011–21, this contributes around 4.5% of revenues Project IRR 18.14%
NPV-FCFF (Rs Million) Equity IRR NPV-FCFE (Rs Million) 70,359 22.53% 11,097

? Considering the IRR, the project should be financed
? We believe that Tata Power must reduce its reliance on one coal supplier
