New Delhi Shri Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh 18th March, 2021 Chairperson, 27 Phalguna, 1942 (Saka) Standing Committee on Energy 6 Chapter –I This Report of the Standing Committee on Energy deals with Action- taken by the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance on the observations/recommendations contained in the Forty-Second Report (Sixteenth Lok Sabha) of the Committee (2018-19) on the subject ‘Stressed/Non Performing Assets in Gas based Power Plants’. 2. The Forty-Second Report was presented to Lok Sabha on 4th January, 2019 and was laid on the Table of Rajya Sabha on the same day. The Report contained 11 Recommendations/Observations. 3.

These have been categorized as follows: (i) Observations/Recommendations which have been accepted by the Government: Serial Nos. 1, 3, 6, 7 and 9 Total - 05 Chapter-II (ii) Observations/Recommendations which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of the Government’s replies: Serial Nos. 8 and 11 Total - 02 Chapter-III (iii) Observations/Recommendations in respect of which the replies of the Government have not been accepted by the Committee and which require reiteration: Serial Nos. 2, 4, 5, and 10 Total– 04 Chapter-IV (iv) Observation/Recommendation in respect of which the final replies of the Government are still awaited: Nil Total - 00 Chapter-V 7 4. The Committee observe that the 42nd Report (16th Lok Sabha) on ‘Stressed/Non Performing Assets in Gas based Power Plants’ pertaining to the Ministry of Power was presented to the Lok Sabha on 4th January, 2019 and was laid on the Table of Rajya Sabha on the same day. The Ministry was required to submit the action-taken replies on the recommendations/observations contained in the Report within a period of three months i.e. by 3rd April, 2019. The Committee, however observe that the Ministry submitted the complete action-taken replies on 29th June, 2020 after a delay of one year and two months. The Committee deplore the delay on the part of the Ministry in submission of complete action-taken replies to the Committee. The Committee while expressing their displeasure caution the Ministry to be extra vigilant in timely submission of replies to the Committee and desire that the necessary instructions be issued to all concerned in the Ministry to strictly adhere to the time line for responding to the Committee in future. The Committee further desire that Action Taken Statement on the Recommendations/Observations contained in Chapter-I of this Report may be furnished to the Committee within three months of the presentation of the Report. 5. The Committee will now deal with action-taken by the Government on some of their Recommendations that require reiteration or merit comments. [ Recommendation No. 2 6. The Committee had recommended as under: “The Committee note that in view of increasing Renewable Energy Capacity which is intermittent in nature, the Gas based Capacity can be utilized for peaking demand due to its higher ramp up rate and quick start time. These Plants can play a role in balancing of the Grid by maintaining uninterrupted electricity supply, especially when Solar Plants shuts down in the evenings and coal based plants take time to ramp up. The Committee, therefore, recommend that Gas based Plants can be operated as Peaking Plants as they can switch on quickly when there is high demand and running these plants as Peaking Plants will also optimize the use of scarcely available domestic natural gas.” 8 7. In its Action-taken reply, the Ministry of Power has stated as under: “The sale of power during peaking operation is a market dependent, and the viability will be generally a function of rate of sale of power of peak demand viz- a-viz the cost of generation. Presently the cost of generation from LNG (imported gas) is around Rs. 7.0/kwh which may not match with the prevailing rate of sale of power. In case the cost of power from LNG is matching with sale price of power, the peaking operation would become usable. The Power Plants are free to sell the power in exchange in the peak demand period”. 8. The Committee, in their recommendation, had observed that in view of increasing Renewable Energy Capacity which is intermittent in nature, the Gas based capacity can be utilized for peaking demand due to its higher ramp up rate and quick start time. These plants can play a role in balancing of the Grid by maintaining uninterrupted electricity supply, especially when solar plants shut down in the evenings and coal based plants take time to ramp up. However, the Ministry in its reply has stated that the sale of power during peaking operation is market dependent. The Committee are, however, of the opinion that with the installation of 175 GW of Renewable Power in the Country by 2022 as per the target fixed by the Government, it is imperative to ensure availability of adequate balancing power to take care of the variability and uncertainty associated with renewable energy generation. The Gas- based Power Plants along with Hydro Power Plants will invariably be needed to cater to the requirement of the balancing power. The Gas based power plants played an important role in maintaining the balance of the Grid during the unprecedented Light Switch off Event in April 2020.
