SECTOR OVERVIEW

 

Global Energy Demand

 

The global average per capita consumption of energy is currently at about 2,500 kWh. It is said that the basic minimum need of energy for a decent quality of life is about 4,500 to 5,000 kWh per capita1. Further, global population is expected to rise from about 6.8 billion currently to about 9 billion by 2050 and then stabilize2. Therefore, no matter which way one looks at energy demand viz. either to just provide a basic quality of life to the existing population or to take care of the needs of another 2.2 billion people, the world will need more energy. While the rate of growth in energy consumption is expected to be very high in growing economies like China, India, Africa, South America, etc., the growth in energy consumption in absolute terms is projected to be the highest in China followed by North America, India, Middle East, etc. For the power sector, growth in absolute energy consumption is more relevant than just percentage change in energy consumption. Further, it is also seen that the ability to pay in markets that have high energy growth rates is weaker as compared to the developed markets. In absolute terms, the United States of America (USA) is by far the largest consumer of energy followed by China and Western Europe. Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and Russia are the other big consumers. In comparison, India’s energy consumption today is much lower but is expected to be around the current levels of Japan, South Korea, and others by 20303. With evolving consumer needs and technology, energy and electricity are getting more fungible. Electricity, however, is the most convenient form of energy and, hence, it is expected that its share of delivered energy will rise from the current 17% to 20% by 20304. The key factors that will shape the energy / electricity markets will be climate change and energy security. The key drivers for the power sector will be based on:

 

Global Energy Supply

 

The World has fossil fuel reserves that are projected to last for 91 years based on current consumption levels and around 45 years based on increasing consumption trends. Russia has sizeable energy consumption and also one of the largest reserves. Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Australia are other regions of large reserves with a far lower domestic consumption and, hence, can play a major role in the global trade of energy. Oil is the most widely traded commodity primarily because of its ease of handling and usage. However, oil exports are largely controlled

by countries of the Middle East, Russia and Nigeria. The major oil importers are the USA, Western Europe, China, India and Japan. Increasing cost of oil production, falling reserves and increasing demand are likely to push oil prices upwards6. Volume of gas as a traded commodity is fast increasing, facilitated by improving Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) infrastructure. The major gas consumers are the USA, Western Europe and Japan, whereas the main suppliers are Russia and countries in the Middle East. The discovery of shale gas in North America could, however, dramatically change the gas supply scenario, leading to drop in demand and stranded LNG capacity, resulting in lower gas prices in the near term7. Sea-borne coal trade, especially thermal coal, accounts for only about 15% of the total coal consumption. The main importers of coal are the USA, China, India, Western Europe, Korea and Japan. The main suppliers are Russia, Indonesia, Australia, South Africa and Colombia. The USA has the largest reserves of coal but is currently not exploiting them. Growing demand for energy in China and bottlenecks in internal supply in India are expected to drive global demand for coal in the near term. At a macro level, this implies limited fossil fuel supply and that many people might in their lifetime see fossil fuel availability taper off. Hence, prices of fossil fuels are expected to rise. This would also lead to an increase in electricity prices. Since major consuming economies like Western Europe, Japan, South Korea and China do not have sufficient domestic resources, nuclear power and renewable sources would be more important to fulfill their energy requirements.

 

Market Structure

 

While primary energy sources like coal, gas and oil are global commodities, electricity has traditionally been a more local / regional commodity. However, with international grids getting connected, the picture hereunder might change.

 

Globally, a structure seems to be evolving where electricity generation and retail will be open to competition and the wires will be a natural monopoly and available to all. The power generated will be sold to a common pool on the basis of ‘Least marginal cost of supply’ wherefrom all retailers will buy their supply needs. The markets will permit direct hedging contracts between the retailers and generators to manage price volatility in the common pool. India has different models of power sale ranging from an integrated utility (the old State Electricity Board [SEB] structure), to a ‘single buyer’ (MoU based / regulated generation), to ‘wholesale competition’ (Ultra Mega Power Projects [UMPPs], Case 1) and retail competition (Mumbai). Migration to developed market structure is expected to occur as soon as the gap between demand and supply is narrowed.

 

While the electricity market structure is subject to a high degree of regulation, the basic input to electricity i.e. fuel, remains free of all control and can provide opportunities for a deregulated play over a longer term (in India fuel is not yet free of all control – coal mines are still ‘allocated’ and oil and gas prices are still administered).

An analysis of the value chain from fuel to electricity generation to transmission to distribution and finally to retail suggests that the maximum value lies on the fuel side followed by generation. The volatility of returns in fuel, however, is higher as compared to that in generation.

 

India Scenario

 

Current per capita consumption of electricity in India is about 733 kWh9 which would have to grow 7-8 fold to provide a decent quality of life. At a GDP growth rate of 5-9%, the demand is expected to grow to about 2 times the current demand by 201710. It is expected that with the 12th five year plan (2017), India might have sufficient base load capacity. However, with economic growth, there will still be a need to add 115 GW to 190 GW of base load capacity between 2020 and 2030 i.e. about 12,000 MW to 19,000 MW every year. Hence, there would be a need to continue adding base load capacity in the 13th and 14th five year plans as well11. The expected growth would mean that about 40,000 MW will be under construction every year. About 75,000 to 80,000 new skilled workers would be required only for construction and operations in the power sector12. However, the power sector faces competition from both infrastructure sectors and other industries such as Information Technology (IT) for skilled manpower. Further, at an average cost of Rs.60.000 Millions per MW covering all forms of generation, India will need Rs.240,0000.000 Millions to Rs.300,0000.000 Millions as capital, with an additional requirement of about Rs.60,0000.000 Millions to Rs.80,000 Millions per year. Hence, people development and funding are critical to cater to the growing demand.

 

The major fuel source for base load capacity addition is expected to be coal. However, availability of domestic coal is a challenge on account of various bottlenecks such as capacity expansion of Coal India Limited, coal block allocation, tribal land acquisition, environmental and forest clearances, etc. This is further compounded by issues around land acquisition for the power plant, water availability and ash disposal for domestic coal-based plants. As per the annual report of FY11 released by the Ministry of Coal, the projected coal demand in FY12 is 713 Million Tonnes (MT) (including both coking and non-coking coal), while the likely supply is expected to be 592 MT. This would leave a deficit of about 120 MT which would need to be made up by imported coal or blended coal as per plant design. This would lead to increased demand for imported coal, resulting in a rise in fuel cost for generating companies.

 

In view of the inherent risks and challenges in developing and executing new projects and rising fuel costs, the cost of generation is likely to increase. However, the political will to pass on these costs to consumers has been rather weak, thereby forcing Governments to increase subsidy bills. It is ironic that while the consumers are willing to pay for diesel generation sets and invertors, from which the cost of power is very high, they are unwilling to pay for power from the utilities. People need to be educated and prepared for price increases and Governments need to address this communication challenge. Unless the challenge of an increasing subsidy bill is addressed urgently, it could become another serious bottleneck in capacity addition.

 

Currently, the power sector relies excessively on coal-based generation. When the climate change movement gathers momentum, India will need to move away from coal to other power generation sources such as hydro and nuclear. Even without the challenge of climate change, just the sheer need for more energy and the need for self-reliance will drive the Indian power sector towards energy efficiency, conservation and cleaner power.

 

Towards this end, the Company has enunciated a path for sustainability to address the fallouts and opportunities. It has undertaken various initiatives in areas such as Environment, Architecture, Community Development, Advocacy, Renewables, New Technology, Green Buildings, New Models of Development, etc. It has established the Tata Power Energy Club for creating mass awareness on energy conservation across the country and established renewable energy generation as part of the approach.

 

Nuclear power is considered to be another option for India, given the shortage of adequate existing energy sources. The three stage process adopted by India that uses reprocessed spent fuel in fast breeder reactors, eventually moving to a Thorium-based cycle, would offer the long term solution, provided concerns arising out of safety issues including the recent incident at Fukushima in Japan get addressed appropriately.

 

Performance of the Indian Power Sector during the year 2010-11

 

Generation

 

The total power generation in the country during FY11 was 811.10 Billion Units (BUs) which comprised primarily 664.91 BUs from thermal, followed by 114.29 BUs from hydro, 26.28 BUs from nuclear and import of 5.61 BUs from Bhutan. The average thermal plant load factor was 75.07%. The installed generating capacity in the country (as shown in Chart 3) as on 31st March, 2011, was 173.626 GW13. The base load deficit during the year was about 73,000 MUs and the average peak load deficit for the year was about 12,910 MW14.

 

Capacity Addition

 

The capacity addition in the 9th and 10th five year plans put together was 46.534 GW. The revised 11th plan (2007-2012) target is 62.000 GW. Capacity commissioned during 11th plan (upto 31st March, 2011) was 41.297 GW. The expected capacity addition, although much higher than earlier five year plans, is, however, still short of the revised target.

 

Fuel Availability – Coal

 

Current domestic coal supply has been affected by environmental restrictions on coal mining because of which Coal India Limited (CIL) has not been able to ramp up production to planned levels, as also, a large quantity of coal has not been transported from the mines (about 60 MT as per CIL). This has impacted generation availability of domestic coal-based plants in the country. As many as 28 plants amounting to a capacity of about 30,000 MW, were facing critical fuel stock situation with a coal stock of less than 7 days, as per the CEA monthly report. The production of CIL in FY11 was 431 MT of coal, with non–coking coal production of 390 MT.

 

This is significantly lower than the demand. Import of coal is, therefore, being resorted to during the last few years and utility-wise allocation is being made by the Ministry of Power in consultation with CEA. The import of coal is set to rise from about 100 MT per annum (MTPA) currently to over 150 MTPA by 201315.

 

Fuel Availability – Gas

 

The installed generation capacity of gas-based power stations as on 31st March, 2011, was about 17.706 GW. Although the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has come up with guidelines for allocation of domestic gas, there is uncertainty in domestic gas supply with respect to quantity as well as price. Production from KG D-6 of Reliance Industries Limited, India’s largest producing gas field, has dropped significantly during the last few months. Due to this uncertainty, gas projects that have requested for gas have been put on hold by the concerned authorities in the power sector till further clarity emerges on the production scenario. Under such circumstances, new gas-based capacities are unlikely to come up in the near future, till the above issues are resolved. Imported LNG, which is a direct substitute for domestic natural gas, is at almost double the price. In this way, electricity produced from imported LNG makes the cost of generation relatively higher to merit dispatch on a base load basis.

 

Transmission

 

The rate of growth of the transmission network (at voltages of 220 kV and above) during the past decade has been at about 6-7% per annum. The inter-regional transmission capacity has increased from 5.050 GW (end of 9th plan) to about 22 GW by March 2011. However, this still falls short of the 14% per annum growth in transmission capacity targeted in the 11th plan. The Government policy plans to increase inter-regional transmission capacity to 58.700 GW by 2015. It is expected that thereafter, inter-regional transmission will not be a constraint16. New Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses Regulations, 2010, came into effect from 1st April, 2011.

 

Distribution

 

Power distribution still remains a segment that needs significant reform, as this would have a direct impact on the sector’s commercial viability and ultimately on the consumers and generators. The sector has been plagued by high distribution losses (as high as 35-40%) and low billing recovery, resulting in poor financial health of the utilities. After the mediocre results of the Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP), the Government has introduced the Revised Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP). The programme is to be implemented in two phases. The focus of the first phase is on implementation

of IT systems for distribution. This is to be followed by large scale distribution franchising in the second phase in order to remove inefficiencies. The reform of the distribution sector is also crucial for the success of the generation sector as the generation companies cannot sell power to financially unviable entities.

 

At least 25% financial savings could be accrued by reducing distribution losses. This can help offset the increase in fuel and energy costs. The 13th Finance Commission has advocated that the States need to address the problem of losses in the power sector in a time-bound manner. In its recommendations, it has included the following recommendations, among others:

 

“i) Reduction of Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses should be attempted through metering, feeder separation, introduction of High Voltage Distribution Systems (HVDS), metering of distribution transformers and strict anti-theft measures. Distribution franchising and Electricity Services Company (ESCO)-based structures should be considered for efficiency improvement.

ii) Unbundling needs to be carried out on priority basis and open access to transmission strengthened.”

The Company, with its integrated operation and significant experience in public private partnerships in all areas of the value chain, is well poised to address opportunities in the sector as they arise.

Alternate models for distribution, particularly decentralized generation using renewable energy sources could be effectively used to address the needs of the country’s rural and semi–rural communities.

 

Power Trading

 

The Electricity Act, 2003 (EA 2003), recognised power trading as a new segment apart from generation, transmission and distribution. Tata Power Trading Company Limited was the first company to be granted a license by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) in June 2004. Power trading has since enabled the country as a whole to balance its power surpluses and deficits and has helped to optimally utilise its generation resources. Electricity traded in the short term power market has gradually increased to nearly 7% of the generation, of which close to 5% is via bilateral trading and the balance 2% is through power exchanges. Power trading has been continuously evolving since its inception and the increase in volumes reflects the confidence of market participants. Open access to generators and consumers, increased share of merchant power in upcoming independent power plants, banking of power, establishment of distribution franchisees and supply of power to Special Economic Zones, etc. is expected to lead to further growth in power trading business in the future. With these increased opportunities, however, the competition has also grown fierce due to increase in number of CERC licensed traders from 13 in FY05 to 39 in FY1118.

 

While the outlook for power trading is bright in the longer term, the sector is currently facing several challenges that need to be addressed by the regulators and policymakers. The financial condition of the distribution sector is a matter for concern. This is limiting their purchases and constraining their ability to pay for power procured. Distribution companies (discoms) prefer to shed load rather than purchase power, resulting in lower off-take and dampened prices in the merchant market. It is a paradox in the Indian market that consumers have to invest in generating expensive power using backup power equipment while inexpensive power remains un-dispatched due to load shedding by discoms. In addition, the unwillingness of discoms to allow for open access to their consumers in spite of the provisions in EA 2003 is acting as a barrier to further growth and competition in the sector. A combination of tariff increases, distribution reforms, open access and enforcement of the ‘obligation to serve’ is required going forward.

Fact Sheet – Geothermal Energy:

Geothermal generation is energy derived from the Earth’s intense heat. Fluid from highly pressurised, natural geothermal systems is brought to the surface by wells that vary in depth from a few hundred metres to 2.5 kilometres. At the surface this fluid is separated into two streams, one of steam and the other of water. The steam is used in a turbine to generate electricity and the hot geothermal water is either injected back into the ground or drained away.

 

Greenhouse gas emissions from geothermal power plants are significantly less than for a conventional thermal power station, although other gases, such as hydrogen sulphide, may be emitted with the geothermal steam.

 

About Sorik Marapi

Sorik Marapi is located in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, approximately 590km south of the city of Medan. The Sorik Marapi concession has a total area of 629km2. It encompasses more than 50 kilometres of the Sumatra Fault Zone which is the major geologic tectonic structure that runs the length of Sumatra and controls the location of most of the volcanic and geothermal activity on the island.

Mumbai, 12th August 2010: The Tata Power Company Limited, India's largest private power company, today announced its standalone and consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended June 30th FY 2010-11.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS- QI FY11 - STANDALONE RESULTS

 

During the quarter, Company’s standalone results reflected a robust financial and operational performance. The Company reported Revenues at Rs. 18679.000 Millions  as against Rs. 20156.200 Millions  in the corresponding period last year. The decrease was mainly due to lower fuel cost in the Mumbai regulated business. Further, the Company also reduced the fuel cost by replacing oil with cheaper RLNG gas, thereby reducing the tariff for the end consumers. However, the cost of power purchase has gone up as we were prevented from scheduling power generated by us to our distribution business in Mumbai.

 

Profit After Tax (PAT) for the quarter stood at Rs. 2689.800 Millions  as compared to Rs. 3770.800 Millions  in the previous year. This is not comparable as previous year includes amount of Rs. 2324.000 Millions  due to MERC tariff orders and judgment of ATE received. Other Income has gone up by 19% at Rs.1275.400 Millions  due to increased earnings out of the FCCBs funds and interest on tax refund. The interest went down by 32% and stood at Rs. 795.800 Millions  due to repayment of short term borrowings and refund of interest paid on tax pertaining to previous years. PAT after Statutory Appropriations stood at Rs. 2629.800 Millions  as against Rs. 3969.700 Millions  in the corresponding period last year.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS- QI FY11 - CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

 

On a consolidated basis, Revenues for the quarter were up by 7% at Rs. 51848.400 Millions  compared to Rs. 48527.900 Millions  in the corresponding period last year. PAT was at Rs. 3176.700 Millions  as compared to Rs. 5527.600 Millions  in the corresponding quarter last year. This decrease is mainly due the Rs.1540.000 Millions  of forex loss  reported on account of realignment of CGPL borrowings and also Rs. 2324.000 Millions  due to MERC tariff orders and judgment of ATE received in the previous year.

 

On Consolidated Segment-wise performance, Net Revenue for Power business was Rs. 35048.100 Millions  and Coal Business for Rs 15390.600 Millions , an increase of 5% and 19% as compared to Rs. 33429.700 Millions  and Rs. 12980.600 Millions  respectively, during the corresponding periods last year. PBIT for Power Business was Rs. 5173.200 Millions  against Rs. 6624.100 Millions  (due to MERC/ATE orders explained above). Whereas, PBIT for Coal Business stood at Rs. 4239.700 Millions  as compared to Rs. 3731.600 Millions , 14% higher than the corresponding quarter last year. This increase is due to higher production and increase in coal prices.

 

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:

 

During the quarter, Company’s Operations continued to report strong performance. Sales volume for the quarter increased by 8% at 4533 MUs as against 4180 MUs in the corresponding period last year. Overall Generation was up by 3% at 4386 MUs as compared to 4260 MUs in the same period last year.

 

Trombay Thermal Power Station and Hydro Power Stations generated 2799 MUs and 358 MUs of power respectively as compared to 2779 MUs and 369 MUs in the corresponding period previous year. The Jojobera Thermal Power Station recorded a generation of 850 MUs during the quarter as compared to 803 MUs in the previous year. Belgaum and Haldia reported generation of 94 MUs and 180 MUs as compared to 107 MUs and 116 MUs in the corresponding period last year. PH#6 Jamshedpur recorded a generation of 143 MUs. Wind Farms also recorded a higher generation of 105 MUs as compared to 87 MUs in the same period last year.

 

Speaking on the performance for the quarter, Mr. Prasad R. Menon, Managing Director, Tata Power, said, “We have started the year on a strong footing. All our businesses have performed well in this quarter. We are encouraged by the strong performance and growth of our retail business in Mumbai. Our generating stations have

also recorded robust increase in power generation.

 

Further, we are making good progress on our new projects under implementation. We are entering an important and exciting leg of our growth phase as most of our large projects are in advance stages of completion.

 

We believe that the growth momentum in Renewables may gather impetus with the strict implementation of RPO obligation and the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism. These additional steps can trigger demand from various States in the country. We are well placed to capitalise on the increasing demand for renewable energy sources through a substantially expanded portfolio including wind, solar and geothermal energy sources. Our Joint-Venture with SN Power for Hydro projects provides the potential to expand our presence in hydro projects in India and Nepal. We are progressing as planned and today around 20% of our power generated is from ‘clean’ sources.

 

We are glad that we are one of the leading wind power generators in the country. Our 3 MW solar PV plant will be

the first and largest grid connected solar plant in Maharashtra and we are exploring opportunities for geothermal energy. Our wind project in Maharashtra has been received the first CDM certified project which further recognizes our commitment towards reducing carbon footprint.”
