3 Introduction

3.1 Thermal Power Markets: Technology Types

In a fossil fuel power plant, the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal, fuel oil, natural gas or oil shale is converted into electrical energy for continuous use and distribution across a wide geographic area. Each fossil fuel power plant is a highly complex, custom-designed system. The following figure illustrates how the conversion from coal to electricity takes place.

Figure 4: How a Thermal Power Plant Works

Source: Tennessee Valley Authority

The first conversion of energy takes place in the boiler. Coal is burnt in the boiler furnace to produce heat. The heat from the coal combustion boils water in the boiler to produce steam, which pushes the turbine blades to rotate the turbine before being condensed and pumped back into the boiler to repeat the cycle. The rotation of the turbine rotates the generator rotor to produce electricity.

Thermal Power in India, Market Outlook to

2020, 2012 Update

3.1.1 Coal Fired Power Plants

Chunks of coal are crushed and heated in a furnace to produce steam from water. Though coal is the cheapest fuel available, it causes the maximum amount of pollution. 3.1.2 Gas Fired Power Plants

Natural gas, because it is a cleaner fuel to burn, is being widely used to produce power. The recent rise in environmental concerns has led to the popularity of natural gas as a fuel for power. Moreover, natural gas-fired power plants are also cheaper and easier to build. 3.1.3 Oil Fired Power Plants

Oil is used primarily for transportation and in homes, but a small proportion of oil is also used for producing electricity.

Three technologies are used to convert oil into electricity: 3.1.3.1 Conventional steam

Oil is burned to heat water, which in turn produces steam. 3.1.3.2 Combustion turbine

Oil is burned under pressure to produce hot exhaust gases which spin a turbine to generate electricity. 3.1.3.3 Combined-Cycle Technology

Oil is first heated in a turbine, using the heated exhaust gases to generate electricity. After these exhaust gases are recovered, they heat water in a boiler, creating steam to drive a second turbine.

3.1.4 Co-Firing Power Plant

Co-firing refers to burning two or more fuels together to generate electricity. Generally coal is combined with biomass, wood and agricultural waste to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released. Co-firing can take place in existing coal plants with little or no modifications required. 3.1.4.1 Direct Co-firing

Direct co-firing is the simplest, cheapest and most common method, in which biomass fuel and coal are burned together in the same furnace. 3.1.4.2 Indirect Co-firing

In indirect co-firing, a gassifier is used to convert solid biomass into a clean gas fuel. This gas fuel is further cleansed of impurities and burned in the same furnace as the coal. With indirect co-firing, a wider range of biomass can be used as fuel to produce electricity. 3.1.4.3 Completely Separate Biomass Boiler

It is possible to increase the steam pressure of the coal power plants by using the thermal energy produced by a separate biomass-fired boiler. Here, coal and biomass are fed into separate boilers and the steam generated is jointly fed to the common turbine.

3.1.5 Supercritical and Ultra-supercritical Generation

Conventional power plants boil water to produce sub-critical steam while supercritical power generation uses supercritical steam. At supercritical pressures, water is heated directly to produce steam, skipping the boiling point temperature. Due to the improved thermodynamics of expanding at higher temperatures and pressures through steam turbines, power generation becomes more efficient, using less coal.

Ultra-supercritical steam generation is currently the most advanced and efficient way of producing electricity by coal. The unit operates at sub-critical pressure and at advance steam temperatures of 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, thus increasing the efficiency of the plant.

Fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, liquid fuels and other petroleum forms are expected to continue supplying the majority of energy used worldwide. Presently, fossil fuels provide for the majority of the world‟s energy demand and this percentage has remained more or less constant in the last ten years. Among the fossil fuels, dependence on coal for energy production is expected to increase from 2000 to 2020, followed by natural gas.

Note: Figures from 2011 onwards are estimates

In recent years, rising power demand and significant economic development across the world has led to increased thermal power generation. However, the fall in electricity demand due to the economic recession resulted in sharp fall in the growth rate of electricity consumption in 2008 and 2009. The year 2009 recorded a decline in terms of power generation. However, thermal power generation picked up in 2010 and is expected to continue increasing from 2011 onwards with the increase in demand and the construction of various new power plants throughout the world.

Thermal Power in India, Market Outlook to

2020, 2012 Update

5 India Power Market Scenario

5.1 Overview

Electricity consumption has grown rapidly in India in 2000–2010 period due to population growth and economic development. Continued economic and population growth will lead to increased electricity demand in the future and more supply will need to be added in order to meet this increased demand. Traditionally, thermal fuel sources, coal, oil and gas, have been the main contributors to the power mix. However, India has limited fossil fuel reserves and is thus dependent on imports of gas, and crude oil as well as more recently, coal. During the forecast period, the nuclear and renewable energy sectors are expected to experience the highest growth in new installed capacity, as the government increases its focus on clean energy sources for generating electricity.

During the 12th five year plan period, the government aims to add around 76,000 MW of capacity. The government is showing increasing interest in attracting foreign players to augment the power sector. Hence, increasing participation by the private sector is expected in the future. During the 12th five year plan period (2012–2017), considerable generation capacity additions are expected to come from private participants alone.

5.2 India Power Market, Cumulative Installed Capacity and Generation by Fuel Type, MW, 2000-2020

9 India Thermal Power Market, Regulatory Scenario, Major Policies

9.1 India Thermal Power Market, Regulatory Scenario, Overview

India has a population of over a hundred billion people and is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Yet, about 44% of households are deprived of electricity. Growth of the power sector in India, since its independence, has been noteworthy. However, the demand for power has constantly outstripped supply, mainly due to inadequate power capacity and high power transmission and distribution losses. Realizing the importance of electricity, the government of India has set a target of supplying electricity to every household by 2012. This requires various tasks such as capacity generation, expansion of the grid network, and reducing power transmission and distribution losses.

9.2 India Thermal Power Market, Regulatory Scenario, Regulatory Framework

The Ministry of Power is primarily responsible for development and regulation of the power industry in the country. Some of the major tasks of the ministry include formulation and implementation of energy policies, and, the administration and enactment of legislation with regard to thermal, hydro power generation, transmission and distribution. Apart from this, the ministry also monitors the implementation of power projects.

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) performs an advisory role to the Ministry of Power. CEA assists the ministry on technical and techno-economic matters. CEA is responsible for advising or directing the central government on various subjects such as formulation of plans and policies for electricity, defining technical standards and safety requirements of the power plants and the grid, promoting research, and collection and recording of data.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and the state level regulatory commissions work under the Ministry of Power to look after, and implement the Central and State level tariffs, policies, transmission of electricity, licensing of transmission and distribution, dispute handling, etc.

9.3 India Thermal Power Market, Regulatory Scenario, Major Policies 9.3.1 Electricity Sector Reforms and Electricity Act of 2003

Power sector reforms in India began in the early part of the 1990s. The Government of India (GOI), through an amendment of the Electricity Supply Act (1948), allowed the entry of private players for power generation as Independent Power Producers (IPP). In the next phase of reforms, in order to bring about cohesiveness in the power sector regulatory scenario, a Common Minimum Action Plan for Power (CMNAPP) was prepared in 1996. This paved the way for the setting up of regulatory commissions at the state and central levels. The GOI passed the Electricity Regulatory Commissions (ERC) Act in 1998 and established the CERC. Various states have also established their own regulatory commissions or have notified the establishment of such commissions. The Electricity Act, 2003 is currently the umbrella act under which the Indian electricity sector operates. The National Electricity Policy (NEP) was formulated under this act in 2005.

Thermal Power in India, Market Outlook to

2020, 2012 Update

9.3.1.1 Electricity Act of 2003

Electricity Act came into affect from 2nd June, 2003. The act aimed to open up the electricity market which was previously characterized by long term power purchase agreements and inability of distribution companies and customers to choose their suppliers. Some of the important features of the act were de-licensing power generation and captive generation, non discriminatory open access in transmission sector from the very beginning and open access in distribution in a phased manner.

Under this act electricity generation has been de-licensed and techno-economic clearance from CEA is not required, except for hydropower plants above certain capital investment. The generating company can sell electricity to any licensees or where allowed by state regulatory commissions, directly to customers.

The act did away with the approval required from State Electricity Boards (SEBs) or regulatory commission for setting up of captive power plants. After the enactment of the act there has been a renewed interest in captive power generation as the surplus power generated from these plants can be directly fed to the grid as Electricity Act provides open access in a non-discriminatory way.

9.3.2 The National Electricity Plan

A National Electricity Plan is drawn up every five years that aims to assess demand for electricity and plan for capacity addition. Though the plan is drawn for a five year period, the plan perspective is for 15 years. The planning is done by the CEA in conjunction with the central and state government agencies. The plan includes –

 Short and long term demand forecasts for different regions in India

 Identification of regions or locations where capacity additions are required keeping in view various techno-economic parameters, environmental considerations, and rehabilitation and resettlement issues.

 Integration of new generating centers with the national grid, including development of the grid.

 Survey of different technologies available for efficient generation, transmission and distribution.

 Choice of fuel for power generation based on economy, energy security and environmental considerations.

9.4 India Thermal Power Market, Regulatory Scenario, Major Initiatives 9.4.1 Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Program (R-APDRP)

The Accelerated Power Development Reforms Program (APDRP) was initiated in 2002 to assist states in strengthening and upgrading the sub–transmission and distribution systems of high density load centers. The program is aimed at reducing aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses. It is also targeted at improving the reliability and quality of the power supply.

R-APDRP was introduced in 2008, to place more focus on actual and provable performance in terms of AT&C loss reduction. Execution was taken up in two parts. Part–A includes projects for the establishment of baseline data, IT applications for energy accounting and the auditing and establishment of IT based consumer service centers. Part–B includes projects for renovation, modernization and strengthening of the distribution projects. Under Part–A, 599 projects were approved at a cost of $391.7m (INR 19,477m).

Part-A of R-APDRP is currently in the implementation stage in many states. Part A is to be completed after three years of sanctioning. As of now, no project has completed three years post sanctioning. However, State Procurement Policy and procedure has delayed the appointment of IT implementing agencies (ITIA) in some states.

9.4.2 Twelfth Five year plan Targets

The Power Ministry has proposed the addition of around 76,000 MW of capacity in the twelfth five year plan (2012–2017). Out of this, 63,000 MW is expected to come from coal fired power plants. Adequate supply of coal is an important factor between 2012-2017. Considerable demand of coal will be met through imports. The government also has plans to increase the domestic production of coal.

Thermal Power in India, Market Outlook to

2020, 2012 Update

11.5.3 NTPC Limited Weaknesses 11.5.3.1 Slow Fuel Diversification Process

NTPC is expanding its electricity generation portfolio under a long-term strategic plan. Though NTPC generates electricity using fossil fuels, it intends to diversify into renewable energy sources. The total coal reserves assessed in India stand at 267 billion metric tons (BMT), which are expected to be exhausted in approximately 45-50 years. NTPC is developing a 2,000 MW nuclear power plant; a 1,000 MW solar power plant and a 1,920 MW hydro power plant, which will become operational by 2017. Since India submitted to the United Nations (UN) its proposed emission intensity cut targets by 20-25% by 2020 in comparison to the 2005 level, NTPC's slow diversification into renewable sources for power generation could impact its business operations.

11.5.3.2 Lack of Fuel Diversity

The company generates almost all of its electricity using fossil fuels. It has total installed capacity of 39,174 MW, which includes 30,855 MW from coal-fired power plants, 3,955 MW from gas-fired power plants and the remaining 3,364 MW capacity is generated from JVs, utilizing coal and natural gas powered plants. High dependence on these fuels could increase the cost of production and affect the profit margin of the company. Lack of exposure to renewable energy could adversely impact its commitments to customer energy efficiency and renewable energy. The company should focus on clean fuel sources for power generation to reduce dependence on conventional fuels. It increases generation capacity with renewable sources and has a positive impact on its business. 11.5.3.3 Long Term Liabilities

The company reported highly leveraged capital structure, which could affect its expansion and growth plans. Up to the end of fiscal 2012, the company reported total debt obligation of INR 550,021m, consisting of senior unsecured notes, drawn from domestic line of credit facilities, loans from corporate banks, KfW and MTN programme. Of the total debt obligation, it has 16.6% increased long term debt component of INR 548,519.40m in 2011. It also has short term debts and accounts payable of INR 1,501.60m in 2011, as compared to INR 394m in 2010. As a result, the company reported substantially high debt to equity ratio of 73.93% and debt to capital ratio of 0.41% for fiscal year ended March 2012. The company incurred this debt to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. If it fails to comply with any of the debt service requirements, the debt could become due and payable prior to its scheduled maturity. Any reduction in revenue and operating cash flows could hinder the company‟s ability to repay interest and principal, resulting in default. Hence, such huge debt increases the financial burden on the company, limiting the availability of cash for its growth. 11.5.4 NTPC Limited Opportunities

11.5.4.1 Developmental Projects

NTPC has many projects that are being implemented to increase the company‟s generating capacity. The company initiated a plan for 2017, under which it would expand its total generation capacity by around 17,000 MW. The company‟s expansion project consists of 11 coal-based projects with a total installed capacity of 11,520 MW; three hydroelectric power projects with a total

installed capacity of 1,920 MW and four coal-based power plants that are being developed under JVs with a total installed capacity of 4,390 MW. NTPC is also developing a 2,000 MW nuclear power plant. The projects are expected to become operational by 2017. The company is focusing on increasing its total generation capacity to 1,28,000 MW by 2032. Some of its projects under coal generation include Indira Gandhi STPP- JV with IPGCL & HPGCL ( 3 x 500) with a total expected installed capacity of around 1,000 MW; Vindhyachal-IV (2X500) project with a net installed capacity of 1,000 MW, and others. With these projects, NTPC wound be able to increase its total generation capacity and thereby its customer base and revenue. 11.5.4.2 Expansion Initiatives: International Markets

The company is planning to expand its business in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Africa. In January 2012, the company entered into a 50:50 joint venture agreement based on build, own and operate (BOO) power plants with Bangladesh Power Development Board. It also entered into consulting agreement with EGCB for providing operation and maintenance services for its 240 MW gas-fired power plant. The company signed an agreement with Bangladesh Power Development Board to construct two 1,320 MW power generation plants in Bangladesh, as part of the joint venture. In Bhutan, NTPC entered into an agreement with Royal Govt. of Bhutan for preparing DPR for 620 MW Amochhu reservoirs based hydroelectric power plant. In Sri Lanka, the company entered into a joint venture with Ceylon Electricity Board, to construct 500 MW power plants in Trincomalee region. Such expansion initiatives of the company to enter new and emerging markets would enable NTPC to diversify its revenue generation base. 11.5.4.3 Diversification into Coal Mining & Other Business

NTPC plans to branch out its portfolio in order to come forward as an integrated power major. The company aspires to have a presence across the entire energy value chain through backward and forward integration into areas such as coal mining and manufacturing. It focuses on coal mining, LNG value chain, manufacturing activities, power trading, distribution, R&M and support to power sector development in its endeavor to leverage its strength and secure its interest in the entire power value chain, provide impetus to its core generation business and enhance shareholders‟ value. Under power trading, it operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NVVN. It is also a participant in National Power Exchange Ltd., a joint venture of NTPC, NHPC, PFC and TCS for operating power exchange to facilitate power trading in the country. For distribution of electrical energy, it operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NESCL, which conducts rural electrification programme, Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana. The company intends to utilize growth prospects in power equipment manufacturing capacity for which, NTPC formed a joint venture with BHEL and Bharat Forge Ltd. for power plant equipment manufacturing. It also has acquired stakes in Transformers and Electricals Kerala Ltd. (TELK) for manufacturing and repair of transformers.

Besides, NTPC is focusing upon the utilization of ash generated from its power stations to convert ash disposal into an opportunity for cement firms. Ash generated is used as raw material by cement companies and brick manufacturers. The company‟s subsidiary, NVVN, conducts the business of fly ash sale to domestic and export customers. NTPC also participates in joint ventures with cement companies to establish cement grinding units within NTPC power stations. These diversifications strengthen the business operations as well as the competitive advantage of the company.

ICVL is made up of the utility NTPC Limited, Steel Authority of India Limited, National Mineral Development Corp. Ltd (NMDC), Coal India Limited and steelmaker Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. Besides, in January 2011, the company signed a joint venture agreement with Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL), named, Anushakti Vidhyut Nigam Ltd to develop nuclear power plants in the country. The company‟s involvement into new projects would enable it to expand its operational base and revenue generation ability 11.5.5 NTPC Limited Threats

11.5.5.1 Intense Competition

NTPC operates in the highly competitive industry. The company‟s competitors may have extensive and diversified developmental or operating experience and greater financial resources. In recent years, competition is increasing for securing sales agreements and acquiring new assets. In certain markets, these factors caused higher acquisition prices for existing assets. Thus, increasing competition is likely to put pressure on the company‟s pricing policy and could reduce the market share it currently enjoys. Its business could also be threatened by new and efficient technologies. As a result, such competition could adversely affect NTPC‟s performance. 11.5.5.2 Increasing Raw Material Costs

The company generates power through fossil fuels. NTPC‟s operations and revenue are significantly dependent on the prices of and the demand for fossil fuels. In the past, the energy commodities prices were highly volatile. Moreover, the energy commodities prices are likely to remain volatile in the near future. The prices the company pays for raw materials such as coal, oil and natural gas, fluctuate depending on supply and demand for these commodities in the international markets. Frequent pricing changes and imbalances in the market could adversely affect the company‟s operations and profitability. 11.5.5.3 Legal and Political Framework

NTPC‟s business depends on various national and local environmental laws and regulations. The laws and regulations imposed by the government control the operations and activities of the company. The role of various renewable sources of energy is increasing due to the growing importance of climatic changes, and also due to the need to reduce carbon emissions. The company‟s earnings could be impacted by the regulations concerning emissions, fuel consumption and safety. Non-compliance with regulatory limits could lead to penalties. The political conditions of the country could also affect NTPC‟s business. The change in government policies and regulations could have a negative effect on the company‟s growth and expansion strategies. 11.5.5.4 Power Theft

Electricity theft is one of the serious issues in India. A large number of electric companies are affected by electricity related illicit practices. Theft of electricity, in most parts of urban India, amounts to 1.5% of India's GDP. NTPC is exposed to risks from practices such as illegal wire

Mahagenco plays a significant role in the development of the Indian power sector. As part of its efforts to improve power generation, it launched a number of new technologies. The company was the first to introduce bag filter technology in thermal plants in India, which helps control and minimize pollution. It was the first to set up a pilot project to extract alumina from fly-ash at its Koradi TPS with the assistance of Central Power Research Institute (CPRI). Mahagenco introduced the operating “cost center concept” for the first time in India, which is based on the share market power sale. The company also implemented a number of new technology initiatives in India for the first time, including the installation of a 400 kilovolt (kV) ring main system to link 400 kV substations for bulk power transmission; implementation of a fully computerized load despatch center with real time viewing system (RTVS) to collect data for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). These initiatives enable Mahagenco to improve its operational efficiency. 12.5.2.3 Growing Financial Performance

Mahagenco's focus on efficient operations helped improve its financial performance in the previous fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended March 2011, the revenue reported by the company increased 9.2% to reach INR 122,201.9m from INR 111,865.39m reported for the previous fiscal year. Such growth in revenue could be due to 9.3% growth in revenue from sale of electricity. In fiscal 2011, the company was able to manage its costs, which enhanced its profit margins, as its operating costs (as percentage of sales) declined from 96% in fiscal 2010 to 93% in fiscal 2011. In 2011, the company reported 90.8% growth in its profit before tax, provisions and prior year adjustments and 52.1% growth in net profit. 12.5.3 Maharashtra State Power Generation Co., Ltd Weaknesses

12.5.3.1 Dependent on Thermal Fuel Sources

Mahagenco's dependence on coal to generate power restricts its power generating abilities. The company generates electricity by utilizing thermal and renewable energy sources.

renewable and hydro could be cheaper and more stable options for the company in the long run. Typical thermal efficiency of coal and oil-fired plants is between 33%-35%, as compared to combined-cycle gas-fired plants that can reach efficiency rate of 50%. Mahagenco continues to face coal shortage, which is resulting in power outages at its coal fired power plants, including Paras, Parli, Bhusawal and Koradi.

Coal-based generators emit high amounts of pollutants when compared to other generators. Considering pounds per billion Btu of energy input, the amount of carbon dioxide released is approximately (208,000), followed by carbon monoxide (208), nitrogen oxides (457), sulfur dioxide (2,591), particulates (2,774) and mercury (0.016). Pollutants released by oil-fired plants include carbon dioxide (164,000), followed by carbon monoxide (33), nitrogen oxides (448), sulfur dioxide (1.122), particulates (84) and mercury (0.007). Pollutants released by gas-fired plants include carbon dioxide (117,000), followed by carbon monoxide (40), nitrogen oxides (92), sulfur dioxide (1) and particulates (7). The company should focus on clean fuel sources for power generation to reduce dependence on coal and increase its electricity generation capacity. 12.5.3.2 High Power Generation Costs

Mahagenco's business performance could be affected if it continues to incur high costs per unit of power generated. According to the company's aggregate revenue requirement (ARR) petition for 2012-13, filed with Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), in fiscal 2012, the costs of power generation at its Parli TPS unit I and II are higher than power purchased by Mahagenco from Dabhol and other private companies. The company also reported low plant load factor (PLF) due to the higher age of its power generation plants. In fiscal 2012, its PLF declined to 81.64%, compared to 88.4% reported in the previous fiscal. Mahagenco could look forward to improving its plant efficiencies and containing costs of generation to avoid losses. 12.5.4 Maharashtra State Power Generation Co., Ltd Opportunities 12.5.4.1 Increasing Power Demand in India

With increasing industrialization, the demand for electricity is also on the rise in India. According to industry estimates, average demand for power has considerably grown in the past 30 years. As of April 2012, the nation's total installed power generation capacity reached more than 2, 00,000 MW. In April 2012, the 660 MW unit of a power plant in Jhajjar, Haryana was commissioned, which increased the nation's installed capacity to 2,00,287 MW, comprising 1,32,013 MW thermal; 38,991 MW hydro; 4,780 MW nuclear; and 24,503 MW renewable. In the 11th five-year plan ended March 2012, India added around 55,000 MW of power, which is less than the revised target of 62,000 MW. To bridge the widening gap between electricity demand and supply, the Planning Commission aims to add around 88,425 MW installed capacity in the 12th five year plan (2012- 2017).

In the 18th Electric Power Survey (EPS) report published by the Planning Commission, the estimated energy requirement during the 12th five year plan is 13,54,874 billion units (BU) and a peak demand of 1,99,540 MW. The power ministry of India set a target to add 93,000 MW capacity in the 13th Five-Year Plan (2017-2022). The government intends to attract private sector participation for developing major transmission related projects on a BOO basis. Besides, the CERC gave approval to Power Grid to develop nine high capacity power transmission corridors (HCPTC). According to a study by Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd

(MSETCL), in 2015, the total daily power consumption in the state is expected to reach to 4,174 MW, as compared to 3,288 MW in 2011.

12.5.4.2 Increasing Renewable Energy Demand

Increasing popularity of clean sources of power generation is critical to the development of renewable power generation assets. India planned to improve its renewable generation ability substantially by installing various clean source-based power plants. At the end of 2010, the total installed wind capacity in the country stood at 13,065.37 MW and around 6,000 MW wind power capacity is expected be added by 2012. In the solar sector, the government plans to invest around US$9 billion to improve solar power generation capacity to 20 GW by 2020. For hydro power, the Indian government decided to tap hydropower resources, which currently stand at only 23%. The government intends to ensure 40% of its total power generation from hydropower and 60% from other sources.

Mahagenco is also focusing on developing renewable energy projects in the state. In 2012, the company received regulatory approval from the Union Environment Ministry to build the world's largest solar power project, in Dhule, Maharashtra. Mahagenco also has plans to build four solar power plants of total installed capacity of around 200 MW in several regions of the state by 2015. Such projects in renewable energy, coupled with the government's aggressive plans to improve its overall renewable energy capacity, would improve growth prospects of the company. 12.5.4.3 Growth through Joint Ventures

Mahagenco intends to execute new power generation projects through JV partnerships with private sector to improve the state's installed capacity. The company has a number of projects in pipeline, and is considering building 74% of the planned projects through partnerships with private players. Major JV projects include the 3,300 MW coal fired power plant project in north Maharashtra, and the 1,980 MW project in Konkan region. Through JV partnerships, Mahagenco plans to complete the projects on time, incorporating industry expertise and latest technologies. The company has a number of projects of total capacity 4,230 MW under different phases of construction. It plans to add around 13,530 MW in the 12th and 13th five-year plans. Such aggressive expansion plans supported by strategic partnerships will enable the company to meet the growing demand for electricity. 12.5.5 Maharashtra State Power Generation Co., Ltd Threats 12.5.5.1 Regulatory Environment

Mahagenco's business depends on national and local environmental laws and regulations. The laws and regulations imposed by the government control the operations and activities of the company. The role of various renewable sources of energy is increasing due to the growing importance of climatic changes, and also due to the importance of carbon emission reduction. The company‟s earnings can be impacted by regulations related to emissions, fuel consumption and safety. The company's operations are regulated by the central agencies such as CEA and state agencies such as MERC. Previously, the company faced problems in obtaining regulatory approvals for its solar power plant from the state environment authority and had to move to the central authority to resolve the issue. Non-compliance with the regulatory limits could lead to penalties and fines. In addition, the political conditions of the country and state could also affect

the company business. The change in government policies and regulations could have a negative effect on the company‟s growth and expansion strategies.

12.5.5.2 Coal Supply Issues

About two thirds of electricity generation in non-OECD Asia, particularly China and India, is from coal. India depends heavily on coal for electricity production. According to a report by Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia (CLSA), in India, there are around 29 coal-based power stations among 86 power projects, which operate with less than four days‟ coal stock and another 44 with stock of less than seven days. This had a serious effect on coal-based power plants in India and most of the power plants are not operating to their full capacity, which resulted in power cuts. In June 2012, Coal India declared to increase its coal prices by around 10 to 15% in the western region. As result, Mahagenco would need to spend another INR 2,010m annually to procure coal from the Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL), an arm of Coal India. The company is also facing coal supply issues and reported generation loss. Some of power generation plants of Mahagenco faced forced outages in the first quarter of 2012 as lack of supply hampered generation. Such dependence could pose challenges to companies in India in meeting the future demand for electricity. 12.5.5.3 Operational Issues

Mahagenco operates numerous power generation assets including power plants, substations and others related assets. The operations of the company are subject to interruptions due to breakdown or failure of equipment, plant outages, and disruption of substations, major accidents or damage caused by severe weather conditions or natural disasters. Mahagenco has been retiring its old power generation plants and is constructing new plants to meet the supply gap created, and closed some of power generation units in 2011. Thus, to meet the demand and to establish new generation infrastructure, the company would require spending huge capital. Also, breakdown or failure of such operating facilities could prevent the administration in meeting its power sales agreement obligations in time. Such operational faults and discrepancies would weaken the performance of the company, hampering its results of operations and profitability.

generation sources. DVC's diversified operations limits the effects of fluctuations in the business climate. 13.5.2.3 Leading Position

DVC is the first multipurpose river valley project taken up by the Government of India. It is the only government organization generating power through three fuel sources; coal, water and liquid fuel. DVC is the first Indian company to set up underground hydel station at Maithon. Its Bokaro thermal power station is one of the biggest thermal power plants in the country. Further, the company is one of the leading power generators in the eastern region of the country. DVC has been generating and transmitting power since 1953. This gives the company a significant competitive edge over its counterparts. 13.5.2.4 Association with Government

DVC is a government owned organization. The company was formed under the Damodar Valley Corporation Act (Act No. XIV of 1948) passed by the Central Legislature in 1948, requiring the three governments; the Central Government and the State Governments of West Bengal and Bihar (now Jharkhand) to participate jointly for the purpose of building the Damodar Valley Corporation.

This enables it to carry out its operations uninterruptedly. The government backing thus, enables DVC to have a significant competitive edge over its private counterparts.

13.5.3 Damodar Valley Corporation Weaknesses

13.5.3.1 Highly Dependent on Coal for Power Generation

DVC generates electricity principally through utilizing thermal energy sources. DVC generates substantial portion of power from thermal energy sources like coal and fuel oil. As of March 2010, of the company‟s total installed capacity, coal contributed for 92% of power installations. Coal is costlier fuel when compared to non conventional sources of energy such as nuclear, wind, solar and hydro. Any inability to procure the required amount of coal and gas at right price could severely impact the net generation of the company. High dependency on coal increases the cost of production and affects the profit margins of the company. Also typical thermal efficiency of coal and oil-fired plants is between 33%-35%, compared to combined-cycle gas-fired plants that can reach efficiency rate of 50%.

Coal based generator emit high amounts of pollutants when compared to other generators. Considering Pounds per Billion Btu of Energy Input the amount of carbon dioxide released is approximately (208,000), followed by carbon monoxide (208), nitrogen oxides (457), sulfur dioxide (2,591), particulates (2,774) and mercury (0.016). Pollutants released by oil-fired plants include carbon dioxide (164,000), followed by carbon monoxide (33), nitrogen oxides (448), sulfur dioxide (1.122), particulates (84) and mercury (0.007). Pollutants released by gas-fired plants include carbon dioxide (117,000), followed by carbon monoxide (40), nitrogen oxides (92), sulfur dioxide (1), particulates (7) and mercury (0.000). The company should focus on clean fuel sources for power generation so that dependency on coal can be minimized and the generation capacity of the company increases. The company should focus on clean fuel sources for power generation so that dependency on coal can be minimized and the generation capacity of the company increases.

13.5.3.2 Project Related Litigations

Involvement in litigation adds to costs, which could have an adverse impact on the operations and financial position of the company. DVC has been subjected to several lawsuits and legal proceedings in the process of its normal business operations. In 2011, power distribution companies (Discoms) of New Delhi filed a civil suit against the company, as it could meet the deadline to supply contracted power to New Delhi from Chandrapura Thermal Power Station (CTPS) Unit no 8 and 7. The company claimed that such delays were due to the non-attainment of commercial actitvities by the units. Besides, the company is also engaged in various other litigations as well. Involvement in litigation increases costs and also affects its image in the market and among its customers. 13.5.3.3 Decline in Credit Ratings

Decline in credit ratings is a matter of concern for the company. In 2011, Fitch downgraded the long term rating of DVC to AA-from its earlier rating of AA. The agency also downgraded the rating on the company‟s INR 6.4 billion bonds to AA- from AA. Such downgrade reflects in deterioration of DVC's financial profile and its increased exposure to fuel availability risks. The downgrade also reflects significant cost and time overruns in DVC's large capacity addition programmes, and its failure to attain significant collections from the Jharkhand Sate Electricity Board (JSEB). Such factors resulted in constrained liquidity and reduced profitability. Such downgrade in credit ratings affects the company‟s overall market position and also affects its ability to raise funds.

13.5.4 Damodar Valley Corporation Opportunities

13.5.4.1 Expansion through Renewable Generation

Presently, a substantial part of electricity generated DVC comes from thermal energy sources including coal and oil, which are comparatively depletable than renewable energy sources such as, wind and solar energy. The company should focus on diversifying into renewable energy sources as they are cleaner and economical energy sources. The favorable macro-economic trends have drawn attention of several governments across the globe towards renewable energy sources, including India. The Indian government is encouraging the increasing usage of renewable energy sources. In solar sector, the government plans to invest around US$9 billion to improve solar power generation capacity to 20 GW by 2020. Besides, in the hydro power, the Indian government has decided to tap hydropower resources, which currently stands at only 23%. The government has set a target to include 40% of its total from hydropower and 60% from other sources. Subsequently, the company should focus on developing renewable energy projects including wind and solar projects. Such projects will enhance the power generation business of the company and boost its generation capacity. In addition, such initiatives will also help the company to earn carbon credits and reduce its dependence on the price of thermal energy sources. 13.5.4.2 Projects in Pipeline

With the improvement in infrastructure facilities, the power consumption in the company‟s operational regions is expected to rise. In order to meet the increasing demand of electricity, DVC is focusing on expanding its generation capacity by adding up new power generating facilities. It is planning to further increase its generation capacity. The company is intending to set up thermal as well as hydro power plants in the state. DVC in collaboration with Tata Power is constructing

Maithon Power station, a 2 x 525 MW thermal power plant at Maithon in Jharkhand. DVC is also constructing a 500 MW thermal power station in Bokaro, which is expected to be completed in the financial year 2012-13. Besides, there are various other projects under construction. Such expansion would significantly enhance the power generating portfolio of the company and would enable it to meet the rising electric demand in the region. 13.5.4.3 Increasing Power Demand in India

With the rise in industrialization, the demand for electricity is also on a rise in the Indian subcontinent. According to industry estimates average demand for power has grown by an average of 3.6% per annum over the past 30 years. The government has initiated various plans to enhance and modernize the country‟s power generation capacity, and transmission and distribution infrastructure. The Government of India has set up a plan to provide reliable power to the entire nation by 2012. In this regard, the Ministry of Power has set several targets such as to decrease T&D losses, generate sufficient power to maintain the country‟s economic growth and to provide power to all homes in the next few years. CERC gave approval to Power Grid to develop nine HCPTC. DVC‟s substantial presence in the domestic market provides potential growth benefits to the company. 13.5.5 Damodar Valley Corporation Threats

13.5.5.1 Volatility in Electricity Prices

The prices of electricity are subject to huge fluctuations in the utility industry. The volatility in electricity prices is driven by various factors such as demand for electricity, the number of market participants and the willingness of market participants to trade, adequacy of generating reserve margins, scheduled and unscheduled outages of generating facilities, price and availability of fuel for thermal generating plants, and disruption of or constraints on transmission facilities. The fluctuations in the electricity prices could increase the cost of operation for DVC thereby affecting its financial performance. 13.5.5.2 Liberalization of the Electricity Market

Liberalization of the electricity market has created opportunities as well as challenges for the electricity companies like DVC. With the liberalization in the electricity generation sector, the market is opening up for other players including the private ones. All these are creating a challenging environment and making the market more competitive. The company could be adversely affected in few areas where it is the sole supplier. In such transitional phase of the industry, any failure of the company to respond quickly could adversely affect its operations. To sustain, the company needs to rise successfully in these challenging environment by adopting industry best practices and expanding its energy capacity. 13.5.5.3 Power Theft

Electricity theft is one of the serious issues in India. A large number of electric companies are affected from electricity related illicit practices. Theft of electricity, in most parts of urban India, amounts to 1.5% of India's GDP. DVC is exposed to risk from practices such as illegal wire tapping, meter tampering and seal breaking. The company installs meters and instrument transformers that play a vital role in energy calculations. Any manipulation of grid system, tampering of meters, as well as damage of security seals may severely affect the financial and operational performance of the company.

14.5.3 Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited Weaknesses

14.5.3.1 Lack of Fuel Diversity

GSECL generates majority of electricity through utilizing thermal sources. The company generates power utilizing coal, gas and hydro based power plants. However, of the total installed generating capacity coal fired power contributes for more than 75% of the installed capacity. This indicated that the company is dependent principally on coal, which is a costlier fuel, compared to non conventional sources of energy such as nuclear, wind and solar. Further, any inability to procure the required amount of coal from the suppliers at right price could severely impact the net generation of the company. This high dependency on coal increases the cost of production and affects the profit margins of the company. High dependency on coal increases the cost of production and affects the profit margins of the company. Also typical thermal efficiency of coal and oil-fired plants is between 33%-35%, compared to combined-cycle gas-fired plants that can reach efficiency rate of 50%. In addition, coal based generator emit high amounts of pollutants when compared to other generators. Considering Pounds per Billion Btu of Energy Input the amount of carbon dioxide released is approximately (208,000), followed by carbon monoxide (208), nitrogen oxides (457), sulfur dioxide (2,591), particulates (2,774) and mercury (0.016). Pollutants released by oil-fired plants include carbon dioxide (164,000), followed by carbon monoxide (33), nitrogen oxides (448), sulfur dioxide (1.122), particulates (84) and mercury (0.007). The company should focus on clean fuel sources for power generation so that dependency on coal and use of other thermal sources can be minimized with out upsetting the generation capacity of the company. This dependence of the company on hazardous coal might affect the company‟s operations in the near future. 14.5.3.2 Power Outages and Related Issues

Frequent outages and other operational issues restrict the company's ability to achieve operational efficiencies. During 2010, the company's Gandhinagar Thermal Power Station (GTPS) Unit 1 and 2 were not fully operational due to ageing affect; Sikka Thermal Power Station (STPS) experienced backing down and vacuum problems; and Kutch Lignite Thermal Power Station (KLTPS) Unit 1, 2 and 3 had vacuum problems due to brackish water, which caused low load operations and Unit 4 of the plant experienced teething problems. Dhuvaran Gas 1 suffered forced outage for 157 days due to damage of compressor. Such operational issues affect the company's ability to function efficiently and effectively. Besides, PLF for KLTPS Unit 1, 2 and 3 was 57.15% during fiscal year 2010, compared to the approved 75%. PLF for Dhruvan Oil Plant was 49.45%, compared to the approved 80%. Such operational constraints and declining efficiencies is a matter of concern for the company as would need to spend heavily to purchase power from third party sources. 14.5.3.3 Critical Coal Stock

Availability of coal is a serious cause of concern for GSECL. According to a report published by the CEA in May 2011, around 28 coal based power plants in India are in critical state with coal stock availability of less than seven days. The situation is worse in Gujarat, as four coal power plants are facing issues relating to sufficient availability of coal. The four coal plants include GTPS (870 MW), Ukai TPS (850 MW), STPS (240 MW) and Wanakbori TPS (1470 MW). In the event of any disruption in the supply of coal at right time, GSECL's operations would be severely affected, as its PLF would decline substantially thereby reducing the company operated power plants

The increasing electricity demand in Gujarat presents a huge opportunity for GSECL to increase its current installed capacity. With the growing energy needs in Gujarat, the electricity and natural gas consumption levels are continuously increasing. According to industry estimates, an additional 4,600 MW of power generation capacity is expected to begin in the state in the current financial year. This would increase the state's total installed power generation capacity to reach from the current 13,140 MW, to cross 17,700 MW by the end of year 2011-12. According to government sources, two 800 MW units of Tata Power's Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) at Mundra are scheduled to begin this current fiscal. Besides, two units of 660 MW each by Adani Power Limited and an 800 MW power plant at Vadinar of Essar are also expected to begin power generation in this year. The per capita consumption of power in the state of Gujarat is expected to be 1,000 kilowatt hour (Kwh) per year by 2011-12. Such growth prospects would help the company in its current and future generation projects.

15.6.4.2 Growth in Solar and Wind Generation

The Government of Gujarat (GoG) is focusing to tap the immense potential offered by renewable sources of energy generation. The GoG conducted various experimental studies in decentralized energy supply models in areas such as solar cooking and solar water heating in the domestic and industrial sectors. Besides, it successfully completed studies in relation to decentralized power generation projects that can be replicated on small and large scale. In 2009, the government declared the Solar Power Generation Policy and signed 961.5 MW public private agreements (PPAs) by 87 National and International Developers. In Wind sector, the government announced

various plans to capture the 10,000 MW of wind power along the coastal areas such as, Saurashtra and Kachchh. Such initiatives by the government provide strategic opportunities to the company diversify its generation capacity to solar and wind energy sources. In 2011, the company installed its first wind power plants with an installed generation capacity of 49.6 MW and also signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with a solar power company to procure additional 50 MW of power. Thus, the company's focus on renewable energy supported by favorable government initiatives will help the company to further strengthen its position.

15.6.4.3 Planned Expansion

Expanding the business operations will help Torrent Power to gain competitive advantage over other players and also strengthen its foothold in the market. The company has several projects in pipeline to improve its power generation capacity. Its power plants under development include 382.5 MW UNOSUGEN Project; 1,200 MW DGEN Mega Power Project; and 2,520 MW Super criticalcoal-based power project. During previous fiscal year, the companies entered into an agreement with ReGen Powertech Pvt. Ltd., to commission and maintain a 75 MW Wind Power Project in Maharashtra. The Company also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Uttar Pradesh to develop a 1,320 MW Coal Based Power Plant in Uttar Pradesh. The company also signed related agreements, such as the long term power purchase agreement (PPA) with U. P. Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) to sell 90% of electricity to the UPPCL. Thus, with these new projects, the company can increase its generating capacity and thereby its revenues. 15.6.5 Torrent Power Limited Threats

15.6.5.1 Intense Competition

Torrent Power operates in highly competitive markets, which increases the pressure and limits its ability to maintain or increase its rates. The power sector market in India is slowly becoming competitive. Torrent Power faces stiff competition from the leading private power providers in the country like Tata Power and Reliance as well as government owned companies. The competition for the company also comes from the existing small players and new market entrants and also from its counterparts in other states of the country. The company faces stiff competition from the leading private power providers in the country like Tata Power, Adani Power, Essar and Reliance, which are establishing large scale power plants in the state. Additionally, any major activities of these companies or their entry or expansions into new markets could increase the pressure on Torrent Power, which could further impact its competitive ability. This growing competitive market could adversely affect the company‟s profitability if the company fails to bring in new and innovative technologies in the generation of power. 15.6.5.2 Legal and Political Framework

Changes in government policies and regulations could have a negative effect on the growth and expansion strategies of Torrent Power. Torrent Power is engaged in power generation, distribution and transmission business. The company‟s businesses are regulated by various national and local laws and regulations. GOI promulgated Electricity Regulatory Commission Act, 1998, which led to the setting up of Independent Regulatory bodies both at the Central level and at the State level. The CERC and the State Electricity Regulatory Commission (SERCs) at the Central and the State

levels respectively, are responsible for regulating the tariffs. The government also has state and central transmission utilities to undertake activities related to the transmission of energy through inter-state transmission system and discharge all functions of planning and coordination relating to inter-state transmission system with State Transmission Utilities, Central Government, State Governments, generating companies and may others. The laws and regulations set up by these bodies monitor the Torrent Power‟s operations, products and other activities in the various jurisdictions in, which it operates. Thus these regulations concerning emissions, fuel consumption and safety could have impact on the operations of the company. Any non-compliance with the regulatory limits could lead to penalties and fines. In addition, the political conditions of the country may also affect the company‟s business.

15.6.5.3 Fluctuating Raw Material Prices

Torrent Power‟s operations and revenue is significantly dependent upon the prices of raw materials. The demand for coal, oil and natural gas for power generation may affect the company‟s business. In the past, these commodities prices were highly volatile. Moreover, these commodities prices are likely to remain volatile in the near future. The prices, the company pays for raw materials like coal, oil and natural gas fluctuate a lot depending on supply and demand of these commodities in the international markets. The frequent pricing changes and imbalances could adversely affect the company‟s operations and profitability. With the high gap between the demand and supply of oil and natural gas in India, the company‟s business may be affected.

16.6.2.3 Operational Performance

CESC exhibited a strong financial performance for the fiscal year ended in March 2012 reflecting its ability to fulfill operational and business expansion needs. The revenue of the company for the fiscal year ended March 2012 stood at $1,204m (INR 60,240m) as compared to $1102.8m (INR 51,059.42m) in 2011 representing an increase of 13.8% over the previous year. The operating income of the company increased to $85.1m (INR 3,940m) in 2011 as compared to $71.3m (INR 3,303.61m) in 2011 an increase of around 19.4% over the previous year. Operating margins increased with segmental performance of power, which recorded increased revenue of $1,030.7m (INR 47,720m) with an increase of 12.2%. 16.6.3 CESC Limited Weaknesses

16.6.3.1 Transmission and Distribution Losses

The increasing transmission and distribution (T&D) losses affect the company‟s operational efficiency. In 2011, the company recorded T&D losses of 12.9% compared to 13.3% during 2010. For nine months ended 2012, the company recorded total transmission and distribution loss of 12.8%. Such losses could be attributed to the increasing power theft cases, infrastructure loopholes and adverse weather conditions. Rise in T&D losses not only affects the company‟s operational efficiencies but also deteriorates its revenue and profits. 16.6.3.2 Lack of Fuel Diversity

The company generates electricity through utilizing thermal energy sources. All the four power plants of CESC are coal fired. Any inability to procure the required amount of coal and gas at right price could severely impact the net generation of the company. Also typical thermal efficiency of coal and oil-fired plants is between 33%-35%, compared to combined-cycle gas-fired plants that can reach efficiency rate of 50%.

Coal based generator emit high amounts of pollutants when compared to other generators. Considering Pounds per Billion Btu of Energy Input the amount of carbon dioxide released is approximately 208,000, followed by carbon monoxide (208), nitrogen oxides (457), sulfur dioxide (2,591), particulates (2,774) and mercury (0.016). Pollutants released by oil-fired plants include carbon dioxide (164,000), followed by carbon monoxide (33), nitrogen oxides (448), sulfur dioxide (1.122), particulates (84) and mercury (0.007). Pollutants released by gas-fired plants include carbon dioxide (117,000), followed by carbon monoxide (40), nitrogen oxides (92), sulfur dioxide (1), particulates (7) and mercury. High dependency on thermal energy sources increases the cost of production and affects the profit margins of the company. The company should focus on clean fuel sources for power generation so that dependency on thermal energy sources can be minimized and the generation capacity of the company increases.

16.6.4 CESC Limited Opportunities 16.6.4.1 Renewable Energy Generation

The favorable macro-economic trends have drawn attention of the Indian government towards renewable energy sources. The government is providing various fiscal incentives and schemes to encourage the increasing usage of renewable energy sources. These incentives and schemes range from preferential tariffs or tax credits for renewable energy projects, and framing taxing schemes for those who contribute to emission of carbon dioxide. In 2011, the company completed the commissioning of 9 MW solar project in Gujarat. Renewable energy market is booming, focusing growing energy demand inadherence to environmental regulations. CESC‟s renewable project involvement will enhance the power generation business of the company and boost its generation capacity. In addition, such initiatives will also help the company to earn carbon credits and reduce its dependence on the price of thermal energy sources. 16.6.4.2 Increasing Demand for Electricity

With the growing energy needs in India, the electricity and natural gas consumption levels are continuously increasing which simultaneously increase the demand for electricity. India is gradually progressing towards a service-led economy. Electricity consumption has grown during the period 2000–2010, driven by the growth in the economy coupled with population growth. This led to a significant growth in the country‟s power generation. However, the per capita consumption of electricity in the country is lower than most developed countries. Despite the government‟s strong effort, the country is not fully electrified and several remote parts of the country will not yet enjoy electricity even by 2012. To overcome such scenario, the government has set a huge target of increasing generation capacity by 100,000 MW during the country‟s 12th five year plan period (2012 –2017), making the industry commercially viable. The Indian real GDP is expected to grow marginally higher than 6% per annum between 2009 and 2013. The population of India is expected to grow to 1.27 billion in 2013. Such a continued growth in the economy and population will require more supply to be added in order to meet the growing demand for electricity. 16.6.4.3 Asset Expansion Plans

CESC has been involved in the development of new projects to support its operations and to meet the increasing demand for power. The company has six upcoming projects in pipeline which helps in enhancing the capacity generation of the company. Completion of underdevelopment projects would add 8,294 MW of capacity in the portfolio. The upcoming projects include six thermal power plants such as, 600 MW thermal power plant to be completed by 2013 in Chandrapur, Maharashtra; Haldia Phase I, 600 MW thermal power plant to be completed by 2014 in Haldia, West Bengal and a 600 MW thermal power plant to be completed by 2016 in Dumka, Jharkahand. Besides, it has 1,000 MW thermal power project in Dhenkanal, Orissa; a 1,320 MW thermal power project to be completed by 2016 in Balagarh, West Bengal and a 2,000 MW thermal power project to be completed by 2017 in Pirpainti, Bihar. All these development plans increases the scope to improve the power generation there by increasing the top line growth.

16.6.5 CESC Limited Threats 16.6.5.1 Volatility in Commodity Pricing

The company‟s operations and revenues are significantly dependent upon the prices of and demand for coal, oil and natural gas. In the past, the energy commodities prices were highly volatile. Moreover, the energy commodities prices are likely to remain volatile in the near future. The prices, the company pays for raw materials like coal, oil and natural gas, fluctuate a lot depending on supply and demand of these commodities in the international markets. The frequent pricing changes and imbalances could adversely affect CESC‟s operations and profitability. 16.6.5.2 Legal and Political Framework

The company‟s businesses are regulated by various national and local environmental laws and regulations concerning its operations, products and other activities in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The growing importance on climate change and to emphasis on reducing carbon emissions is increasing the role of various renewable sources of energy. The company‟s earnings can be affected by the regulations concerning emissions, fuel consumption and safety. The non- compliance with these limits could lead to penalty payments. In addition, the political conditions of the country also affect the company‟s business. The change in government policies and regulations could have negative effect on CESC‟s growth and expansion strategies. 16.6.5.3 Extreme Weather

Electric power generation and distribution, in many regions is seasonal. Demand for power is at peaks during the hot summer and the cold winter months. As a result of this seasonal fluctuation, the operating results of the company may fluctuate substantially. In addition, the company would sell less power, and consequently earn less income, when weather conditions are milder. Moreover, seasonal calamities can disturb and at times disrupt the transmission and distribution network. This in turn would increase the operational and distribution cost of CESC for their multiple locations in one or more markets.
