Cabinet Approves Recommendations of Group of Ministers to Address the Issues of Stressed Thermal Power Projects

The Cabinet has approved recommendations of Group of Ministers constituted to examine the specific recommendations of High Level Empowered Committee (HLEC) constituted to address the issues of Stressed Thermal Power Projects. The summary of the recommendations are as hereunder:

Amendments made in Shakti Policy

z All such power plants including private generators which do not have PPAs will be allowed Coal linkage under Shakti Policy for a period of minimum 3 months upto a maximum of 1 year.

z The power generated through that linkage should be sold in DAM through power exchanges or in short term through DEEP portal. A methodology in this regard to be formulated by MoP in consultation with Ministry of Coal.

z A generator which terminates PPA in case of default in payment by the DISCOM, may be allowed to use existing linkage coal for sale of power through short-term PPAs using DEEP portal or power exchange for a period of maximum 2 years or until they find another buyer of power under long/medium term PPA whichever is earlier.

z The provisions of Shakti Policy above will also be applicable in cases where the nodal agency designated by MoP aggregates/procures the power requirement for a group of States even without requisition from such states.

z Central and State generating companies can act as an aggregator of power of such stressed power assets and procure it through transparent bidding process and offer that power to the DISCOM against their existing PPAs to such DISCOMS, till such time their own plants get commissioned. It is proposed that Central and State generating companies may be allowed to use the existing unutilized Bridge Linkages for such stressed power assets provided they meet other parameters of tolling guidelines including competitive bidding.

Increase in quantity of Coal for E-Auction

z Ministry of Coal may earmark more coal for power sector under special forward e-auction by reducing the equivalent quantity from the spot e-auction.

z The Coal India Ltd. may earmark at least 50 percent of the total coal meant for e-auction for power.

z The increase in supply of coal for forward e-auction will be in addition to regular requirement of linkage coal for the power sector and the requirements of other sectors.

Non-Lapsing of Short Supplies of Coal

z If the power plant fulfills its obligations limited to making advance payments to coal companies, payments to Indian Railways and making arrangements for unloading of the rakes at its plants, then any short supply for that month of coal, either on account of short supply of coal in the

coal company or on account of unavailability of rakes, may not lapse and be carried over (without current limitations of 5% or same quarter) to the subsequent months upto a maximum period of 3 months. In this regard, a suitable methodology would be evolved for implementation.

ACq based on Efficiency

z ACQ per MW entitlements for all thermal power plants, irrespective of their age or technical parameters, will be calculated based on Normative Station Heat Rate with upper ceiling of 2600 kcal/kWh.

Mandatory Payment of Late Payment Surcharge

z MoP may engage with the Regulators to ensure that Late Payment Surcharge is paid in case of delay in payment by DISCOMs as per the provisions of PPA.

Cancellation of PPA/FSA/Transmission Connectivity/EC/FC/Water etc

z DISCOMS, CIL, PGCIL, Ministry of Environment and Forests, and appropriate Governments may be advised not to cancel PPA, FSA, transmission connectivity, EC/FC, and all other approvals including water, even if the project is referred to NCLT or is acquired by another entity subject to the provisions of the contracted PPA and/or applicable rules. All clearances may be linked to the plant and not to the promoter.

Cancellation of PPA for Non-Compliance of COd

z If there is any delay in the commissioning of a project for reasons not attributable to the generator, the DISCOMs may be advised not to cancel those PPAs. The PPA may be kept on hold for a certain period, so as to enable removal of impediments in the execution of the project. In the meantime, power can be procured through the mechanism suggested in previous proposals.

Cabinet Approves Measures to Promote Hydro Power Sector

z The Union Cabinet has approved measures to promote Hydro Power Sector which includes declaring Large Hydro Power Projects (LHP) as a part of Non-Solar RPO. The summary of the decision is has hereunder:

z Large Hydro Power Projects (LHPs) to be declared as RE source.

REC Market

IEX cumulatively traded 89,55,572 RECs over 93,29,253 RECs in the previous fiscal, registering decline of about 4% largely due to the lower REC inventory. Through this fiscal year, both Non-Solar and Solar markets continued to see low supply situation with buy bids exceeding the sell bids consequently the clearing price increased for both the markets. While in the previous fiscal year, the REC market was in contrary situation with sell bids exceeding the buy bids and consequently market traded at the floor price.

A total of 3,469 participants are registered in the REC segment. Of this, 669 are Eligible Entities (RE Generators) 2,772 are Obligated Entities (DISCOMs, Open Access Consumers & Captive Generators) and 21 are registered as Voluntary Entities.
