India's Power Sector
http://www.hindu.com/2007/11/29/stories ... 711900.htm
Amid doubts over the ability of public sector companies to supply power equipment for the 78,000 MW capacity addition during the XI Plan, the Heavy Industry Ministry has turned down the proposal of the Power Ministry to allow international competitive bidding for procurement of power equipment for the 4,000 MW Ultra Mega Power Projects.
The Heavy Industry Ministry has not given a positive nod to the proposal on the ground that the Power Ministry’s proposal favours foreign suppliers vis-a-vis domestic players.
WTF does this mean? What is competitive about placing certain orders with BHEL for sure?The Heavy Industry Ministry has also expressed ‘serious concern’ over the move to extend benefits under the UMPP policy to captive power plants and merchant power plants Responding to the issue of purchase preference policy being sought to be waived, the Department of Heavy Industry pointed out that the power sector had been exempted from it since 2005-06. The exemption is subject to the condition that the Power Ministry will place certain orders upon BHEL on a negotiated basis, price benchmarked through competitively bid projects every year.

Moser Baer setting up grid connected solar farm
[quote]Moser Baer Photo Voltaic (MBPV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moser Baer India, on Friday announced it would set up India’s largest grid connected solar farm in Rajasthan with an estimated investment of Rs 100 crore.
The company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Rajasthan Government for setting-up of the large solar power project in the State with an estimated generation capacity of 1-5 MW.
“The project will entail an investment of around $25 million (Rs 100 crore) at $4.5 million per MW,â€

Once again a state scraps non competitive single auction favouring BHEL for a split auction of smaller orders with competitive bidding to gain better prices. BHELs inability to execute on all the UMPP projects is affecting these projects:
Bharat Heavy's $2.1 Billion Power Plant Bid Rejected
Bharat Heavy's $2.1 Billion Power Plant Bid Rejected
Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.'s bid to build an 84.3 billion rupee ($2.1 billion) electricity- generation factory was rejected, the second such cancellation in a year for India's biggest power-equipment maker.
Bharat Heavy was the sole bidder to set up two 800-megawatt units in southern India, leaving no scope for evaluation, Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corp. Technical Advisor Kodandarami Reddy said by telephone from Hyderabad today. The company will split the job into three contracts and call for new tenders. Bharat Heavy officials didn't answer e-mails or phone calls on whether it would bid again.
Bharat Heavy's domination in domestic power orders is easing with the entry of rivals such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co. Last December, state-run Bharat Heavy pulled out of a $635 million order, after developer Lanco Group called for new bids. China's Dongfang Electric Co. won the contract.
``Chinese and South Korean power-equipment suppliers are expected to participate in Andhra Pradesh Power's tenders and may be able to outbid Bharat Heavy,'' Mahesh Bendre, an analyst with IL&FS Investmart Securities Ltd., said in telephone interview in Mumbai. ``It's now a prestige issue for Bharat Heavy and it may even cut its profit margin to win.'' He rates the stock ``buy.''
Boilers, Turbines
Andhra Pradesh Power will call for separate bids for boilers, turbines and the rest of the equipment. Offers for boilers and turbines, valued at as much as 45 billion rupees, will have to be submitted by Jan. 31. The tender for the remaining factory equipment will be floated later.
``There are several companies making only boilers or turbines, so competition will be more,'' Reddy said. ``It is quite possible we'll get a lower quote than we did in the case of the single equipment-procurement contract.''
Breaking up the contract will also allow Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and its Indian partner Larsen & Toubro Ltd. to bid for the boiler and turbine orders. Some overseas buyers have already bought bid documents, Reddy said, without identifying the companies. Bharat Heavy will also have to bid separately for each of the orders, he said.
Bharat Heavy aims to more than double its revenue to 450 billion rupees by March 2012, Chairman Ashok K. Puri told analysts in October.
Shares of Bharat Heavy rose 0.9 percent to 2,416 rupees at 12:19 p.m. on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The shares have more than doubled this year, compared with a 40 percent gain in the benchmark Sensitive Index.

Some sobering price data for renewal sources:
Govt offers 80% incentive to push solar power
http://www.businessstandard.com/common/ ... tono=32001
In a push to develop solar energy in the country, the government has announced that it would bear up to 80% of the cost of generating power.
The cost of generating one unit of solar power is Rs 15. The central government, in partnership with state governments, will give incentives of up to Rs 12 per unit of the cost of generating the power.
The ministry of new and renewable energy, has drawn up a raodmap of generating 50 MW of solar power in the current Five-Year Plan that ends in 2012. "Some states such as Punjab and West Bengal have already shown interest. Each state can easily generate up to 10 MW of solar power. Together with the state governments, we want to incentivise this clean energy source," said minister of new and renewable energy Vilas Muttemwar.
The incentive for generating the planned 50 MW of solar power would result in government spending of close to Rs 90 crore.
The incentive is being given "in view of the present high initial capital cost of setting up solar power plants and the cost of electricity from such plants," the minister said.
The cost of setting up a solar power generating unit is around Rs 20 crore per MW. For setting up a thermal power plant, the cost is around Rs 4 per MW, while for hydropower it is around Rs 6 per MW.
"The gestation period of a solar power unit is much shorter than that for a thermal or hydropower plant," Muttemwar said.[/b]
The government is focussing on setting up solar power generating unit in west and central India, "which receives the maximum sunlight," Muttemwar said. He added that the main states would be Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
"The 50 MW generation could come up as early as in the next year and a half," he said.
The power generated from the solar unit would be fed into the grid. "The incentives will be given only for the electricity that is fed into the grid and not for that which companies use for captive purposes," Muttemwar said.

Slightly OT,
I was in Ahmedabad for about 2 months on medical leave. Complete stay at home no roaming about, not even in the "society".
Not a single minute of power cut, not a single minute. I was quite pleasantly surprised. Torrent power also sends vans to your area to collect the light bills and your bills mention the time and date of van coming to your area as well as neighbouring ones. This apart from the "normal" collection centers in AEC offices and other collection centers in shops.

Recently I stayed in Blore and used Solar water for showers. Everyday I was able to get a hot shower no exceptions. Impressive. A lot of homes are installing such units. The unit comes with two solar flat panels and a tank installed on the roof (cost is around $800-$1000). Water is heated throughout the day (sun light) and heated water is stored in the tank. An outlet pipe connects into the hot water supply line and some have this going through electric geyser heaters. The unit atop my house has an inline electric heater to heat up water during those cloudy days when there is no sunlight. Never had to use the inline heater. The water is super hot.
Places in US especially california, nevada, texas and arizona can benefit from such a simple system. Connecting the hot water line into existing water heaters could reduce the gas heating bill significantly.

Madhya Pradesh chief minister blames UPA for power crisis
Jan 9 ,2008
Bhopal, Jan 9 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has blamed the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the centre for the present power crisis in the state.
Chouhan has said he would take up with the centre once again the delayed supply of power generating equipment for the 500 MW thermal unit at Birsinghpur.
Reviewing the power situation in the state at a high-level meeting here Tuesday, Chouhan alleged the centre had deliberately delayed the supply of generating equipment, which if commissioned in time could have accrued more power for the state, sources said.
'Madhya Pradesh, reeling under severe power shortage, has resorted to the power cuts as the delay in commissioning of projects by the BHEL has put the supply in a very precarious position. Had the BHEL supplied the generating set on time, generation of full 500 MW would have begun at Birsinghpur,' the chief minister said.
The Birsinghpur thermal power unit was to be completed by September 2006 and the Amarkantak thermal power unit was scheduled for February 2007 completion.
Chouhan had in October last year also urged the central government to expedite the construction of power units in the state.
Chauhan, in his letter to the Union Minister for Heavy Industries Santosh Mohan Dev, had urged him to direct the BHEL to complete the 500 MW Birsinghpur thermal power unit and the 210 MW Amarkantak thermal power unit, now running much behind schedule.
Meanwhile, the chief minister has also directed the officers to purchase power at any cost for supplying it to farmers for Rabi crop.
'So far, Rs.3.46 billion had been provided to State Electricity Board, while additional Rs 1.50 billion would also be provided,' official sources said.

Adani Enterprises aims 10,000 MW power generation in 3-5 years
24 Jan, 2008, 1333 hrs IST, PTI
MUMBAI: Guatam Adani-led Adani Enterprises Ltd on Thursday said it aims to achieve power generation capacity of 10,000 MW within the next 5 years.
The 10,000 MW capacity would be added in phases over the next 3-5 years, the company said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
"In order to be present across the value chain in these business areas, the company initiated its foray into power generation, coal mining, oil and gas exploration, as well as expanding the city gas distribution footprint to several other cities in India," the company said.
At present, Adani Enterprises has initiated two power projects totalling 4,620 MW -- 2,640 MW at Mundra, Gujarat and 1,980 MW in Gondia, Maharashtra.
The new initiatives would include expansion of capacity at Mundra by another 1,980 MW, and setting up units in Rajasthan (1,320 MW) and Dahej, Gujarat (1,980 MW), the company said
Outstanding. Sometime ago I had remarked "10MW per district in each state of the Union can add up very quickly", Now Punjab is planning ahead on the same lines. Waiting for other states to initiate the steps. India can easily have 10-20% of energy needs by solar power alone.
More buildings are providing for individual water heating by solar power to solve the hot piped water supply. A little more innovation and price reduction could unleash another revolution in domestic electrical power supply.

Possibility of generating more power in Faridabad, Gurgaon
3 Feb, 2008, 2234 hrs IST, PTI
CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Power Minister, Randeep Singh Surjewala said that there is a possibility of generating about 300 MW of power in Faridabad and Gurgaon through private generator system and the State Government would give benefit of waiving the surcharge on this system.
The Power Minister informed this while addressing the mediapersons after presiding over the monthly meeting of the District Public Relations and Grievances Committee at the Faridabad Nagar Nigam Auditorium on Sunday.
Replying to a question he said that the problem of the scarcity of power alongwith Haryana also prevailed in those states of the country where the power was available in surplus but presently power cut upto 50 per cent were imposed in those states also.
Besides scarcity of rains and excessive cold there are some natural and geographical reasons of this problem, he added. He said that due to these reasons quantity of water decreased in the Hydel Power Projects which affected the generation of power in the power generation plants of the States.
Surjewala said that the present state Government is the only government so far which is committed to set up power plants for generating about 5000 MW of additional power by spending an amount of about Rs. 24,000 crore. The State is getting total power of 2800 MW through its various thermal and hydel power projects whereas the existing demand and consumption of power is about 5000 MW of power, he added.
In replying to another question the Power Minister said that the State Government had taken a decision today to purchase 150 MW of power at a costly rate of Rs. 8.25 per unit from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and Uttar Pradesh Power Plant at Dadri.

States have to play a major role to achieve power goal by 2012: Shinde
Feb 19 : Government says, states have to play a major role in achieving the goal of power for all by 2012.
Addressing a conference of the Chief Secretaries of the states in New Delhi, Union Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said, states have the primary responsibility of generating and distributing electricity.
He said central-sector generating stations can only play a supplementary role in augmenting power. He, however, added that over the last four decades the central share in the generation has been constantly increasing, while that of the states has been decreasing.
Mr. Shinde said from 12 per cent in 1979, the central share now stands at 35 per cent, while that of states' share in generation has decreased from 82 per cent to 55 per cent during the same period. He urged the state governments to actively pursue their capacity addition programme and not depend only on the central sector or private sector projects.
The Minister also urged the states to implement Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana actively by pre-empting bottlenecks in supply of material. He said they have to guarantee a minimum daily supply of 6 to 8 hours of electricity under this Yojana.
He also urged the States to provide the Centre complete list of BPL households in order to provide them free connections as over 56 per cent of the country's rural house holds are in darkness.
The Minister said to meet the 11th plan target of eighty thousand megawatts of capacity addition, the problem of aggregate technical and commercial losses must be reduced to 15 per cent from the current 34. Mr. Shinde said, for turning around the power sector rapid and drastic measures are required as in some states these losses exceed even 65 per cent.

STANDARD SOLAR POWER EQUIPMENT
Monday, March 10, 2008
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy is implementing several schemes to popularize solar energy equipments, including use for house hold applications.
In view of the high initial cost of the solar energy systems and devices, Central Financial Assistance is provided in the form of capital or interest subsidy. Apart from this, several fiscal and promotional incentives are also available.
6,50,000 sq. m. of collector area for solar water heating systems;
5,25,000 solar cookers;
4,79,869 solar lanterns;
2,23,595 solar home systems;
46,186 solar street lights;
4500 solar pumps; and,
3783 kWp capacity power plants were installed up to the end of the Ninth Plan.
For the 11th Plan period, a target of 5 million sq. m. of collector area for solar water heating systems;
20,000 solar cookers; and,
50 MW solar photovoltaic systems has been set by the Ministry. No State-wise allocations are made.
Apart from financial and fiscal incentives, publicity and awareness campaigns are organized. Some State Governments are providing additional subsidies apart from providing rebate in property tax and electricity tariff to the users of solar water heaters. Soft loans are also available for the manufactures for up-gradation of technology, besides rebate in excise and custom duties.
The Bureau of Indian Standards have issued certain standards for solar cookers, flat plate collectors for solar water heating systems and solar photovoltaic modules. In addition, performance specifications for solar home systems, solar street lights and solar lanterns have also been announced.

The Solar Power investments in India are not in tune with potential. For example, China is making big-bang investment by tying up with Applied Material to supply a large solar manufacturing project in Suzhou, China for $1.9 billion. The machines that Applied Materials will supply will be able to make huge solar panels - 5.7 square meters, basically the size of a garage door.
India, similarly, needs to invest in manufacture of Solar panels. There is a huge potential for supplying day time electricity power to many states. All state and central govts buildings for instance can have solar power for hot water and solar cookers for meal preparation. Govt. should also nudge large institutes, schools, companies to provide the same.

Not quite India but tiny nation, Portugal is creating the worlds largest solar farm
India with vastly more resources, sunlight and land can do much better. All it takes is enlightened political vision and implementation. Harnessing wind, solar energy could solve a substantial fraction of the energy issues facing India.More than 2,500 gray-blue solar panels are being assembled over nearly 618 acres — roughly 350 soccer fields — in this town of about 3,000 people that lies in one of Europe's hottest spots. Each panel measures 43 feet by 26 feet and weighs more than 2.2 tons. Like sunflowers the panels follow the sun, swiveling on thick metal stems. When complete, the $400 million project will provide power for some 30,000 homes.
By the end of last year energy from renewable sources accounted for just over 40 percent of the electricity consumed in Portugal, a country of 10.6 million people with plenty of sunshine, big rivers and a long coastline.
Portugal didn't need much encouragement. With no coal, oil or gas of its own, the country imports more than 80 percent of its energy needs, including for transport. High oil prices have further squeezed an already pinched economy.
Power ministry asks for more gas
I think the powers need to take an introductory course on peak oil— pointing out that the fuel should not be used for making petrochemicals when its shortage is hampering state-owned generation
TOI had reported that the generation utility has been running short of nearly 7 mcmd (million cubic metres a day) of gas and had to idle about 900 mw capacity due to fuel shortage.

Solar power dispels 'darkness' in Mohri village in Maharashtra
Link
Tue, Apr 1 02:35 PM
Mohri, Apr 1 (ANI): 'Better late than never' as people in Mohri village in Maharashtra are delighted with solar power energizing their homes.
Despite being located in one of highly developed states, Mohri seemed to have been left behind while the country moved ahead on the path of modernization and development.
The villagers having waited for long were contemplating some action on their own, when a private electronic company came to their help to dispel darkness from their village.
"We were thinking of doing something on our own when we came to know about this system. This would help us a lot for sure. There would also be no electricity bill," said Shivaji Roa Pote, Head of village Panchayat, Mohri.
The private electronic company too was looking for a non-electrified place to install the solar panels manufactured by it. Mohri village came in handy.
"When our product was ready, we were looking for a place, which had no electricity at all. We searched it on the Internet and collected the documents. Then we came to know about this village Mohri, which has 27 houses and they have not till date seen power. We thought this is the right place," informed Arvind Pethkar, Director, R M Electronics Private Limited.
The solar power has not only lit the homes of 27 families in the village having about 160 people but it is also changing their lifestyle.
Contrary to their past practices, the people sit late in the night watching television and also attending to unfinished domestic jobs. The children too a relaxed lot as they can now study even after dark.

BHEL & NPCIL to float JV for nuclear power plant
[quote]
April 6, 2008
New Delhi: Aimed at synergising the strengths of the two PSU giants in the power sector, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India limited (NPCIL) will join hands to form a joint venture company (JVC) to set up nuclear plants inside the country and abroad.
Both the PSUs have signed an MOU to float the JVC to carry out engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) activities for nuclear power plants within the country as well as overseas on mutually beneficial terms.
Core strengths
Through the JVC, to be owned by BHEL and NPCIL, the two companies will work jointly to complement their respective core strengths in the areas of nuclear power generation, a BHEL spokesperson said.
The JVC will explore and evaluate the various technology options available for steam turbine generator sets (STGS) of 700 MW rating and above and also help in development of BHEL as an indigenous source capable of designing and manufacturing STGS of these ratings to meet the needs of various nuclear projects proposed to be set up in the country in future, the spokesperson further pointed out.
The MOU was signed by the BHEL Chairman and Managing Director K Ravi Kumar and the NPCIL Chairman and Managing Director S K Jain in the presence of Minister for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Sontosh Mohan Dev and Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission Anil Kakodkar.
BHEL designed, manufactured and commissioned equipment accounts for around 80 per cent of NPCIL’s installed capacity of 4,120 MW.
The company has so far supplied state-of-the-art power generating equipment of various ratings corresponding to nearly 3,280 MW for various Nuclear Power Plants. NPCIL, as a utility, and BHEL, as an EPC contractor, have worked together on several NPCIL projects.
BHEL is also presently executing several contracts for NPCIL for equipment supply and erection, which are in various stages of progress.
Prestigious contract
This includes a prestigious contract for the turbine generator and secondary side equipment for the first Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) of 500 MW rating, being set up by Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Limited (BHAVINI) at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu.
The unit is scheduled for commissioning during the Eleventh Plan.
“BHEL has been a major partner in NPCIL’s vision to achieve self-reliance in nuclear energy and its association with NPCIL began in 1970 with the development of technology and manufacture of prototype channel covers and heavy water headers,â€

Most of the large Solar cell manufacturers across the world are at 400-500MW capacity right now. They are expected to grow to 1000MW in about 3 years from now.
Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries is expected to invest 7.5Bn USD in solar wafer manufacturing facilities. Videocon is expected to follow and others like Moser Baer are already in it. With such huge expansion in Solar electricity production I think we should immediately scrap the un-clear deal.

RIL's second proposed plant, at an expected cost of Rs 11,631 crore, would be set up at Jamnagar in Gujarat, once it gets the government clearance. This plant would manufacture polysilicon, single crystal/multi-crystalline ingots, solar grade wafers, SPV modules with a capacity of 1 giga watt.
RIL has sought a subsidy of Rs 3,394.56 crore from the government for its first semiconductor plant, and Rs 2,326.20 crore for the second one.
The two RIL plants are likely to generate around 15,000 skilled and unskilled jobs, according to a statement issued by the Department of Information Technology.
According to an RIL spokesperson, "the group is currently evaluating an investment in an integrated semi-conductor facility".
The spokesperson added that the group will make necessary announcements when the plans are final. Meanwhile, sources said that international tieups with RIL cannot be ruled out for setting up the semiconductor facilites. It is learnt that the group has been keen on the project for quite some time now, but has submitted its proposals to the government only recently.
According to industry sources the project should take between two to two and half years to kick off commercial production.
Among others, Videocon wants to set up an LCD Fab facility in Navi Mumbai at an investment of Rs 8,000 crore. It has sought a subsidy of about Rs 2,000 crore. The company expects to roll out next year.
Moser Baer PV technologies India Ltd has proposed to invest Rs 6,000 crore for a silicon cells facility at Oragadam near Chennai. It has sought a subsidy of Rs 2,393 crore.
