  • Evaluation of Competitiveness of Power Plants: Evidence from India
    Journal of Economics and Economic Education Research Volume 21, Issue 4, 2020 EVALUATION OF COMPETITIVENESS OF POWER PLANTS: EVIDENCE FROM INDIA Himmat Singh Ratnoo, Maharshi Dayanand University, India Santosh Kumar Dubey, Hindustan Power Private Limited, India ABSTRACT This study attempts to gauge the relative performance of a set of large size coal-based power stations of India. The primary data for the study were collected through survey questionnaires for relevant operating and performance parameters for India’s 18 coal-based power stations including Mundra and Saasan Ultra-Mega Power Projects (UMPPs). Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) has been used in the study to gauge the relative performance of Mundra UMPP with Saasan UMPP and other large size coal-based power stations of the country. The classical DEA model has been used to distinguish the efficient coal power stations from rest of the large sized coal-based power stations of the country. Power stations with total installed generation capacity of 2000MW or more each were selected for the study. The study indicates the need and scope for improvement in the performance of power plants for sustainable industrialisation and urbanisation. KEYWORDS Coal-based power plant, Power plant, Competitiveness, Performance, Data envelopment analysis, India INTRODUCTION The aggregate installed power generation capacity of India as on the date of comparison for this study, i.e. 31st March 2016, was 3,02,087.84 Mega Watt (MW) (CEA Annual Report, 2016). Out of this, thermal power generation accounts for 2,10,675.04 MW (69.73%) and coal- based power alone constitutes for 1,85,172.88 MW (61.30%) of the total electricity produced in the country (CEA Report).

The government has announced an unprecedented policy push and states are providing the necessary infrastructure. Annual investments in solar could surpass investment in coal by 2019-20, with USD 35bn committed by global players. For local IPPs, solar has to be an inherent part of their expansion strategy, as RE obligations become strictly enforceable and cost of coal power increases.
