Generation increased only 3.8% YoY in September 2014 as growth
across hydro and nuclear segments was partially offset by lower YoY
generation across the gas segment while the coal segment reported
moderate growth due to a fall in demand. Plant load factors (PLFs)
declined across all segments barring hydro and nuclear plants. Both base
and peak deficits declined MoM due to lower demand. Accordingly, the
merchant rate declined in September 2014. While the sector continues to
face constraints in terms of 1) fuel availability and pricing, 2) environment
clearances and 3) SEB’s financials, the recent initiatives taken by the
government like Coal Ordinance 2014, fixation of gas price, fast tracking
of project clearances, etc. will unblock the policy logjams for the sector.
The top picks in our coverage universe are NTPC and Power Grid.
• Generation: Generation increased only 3.8% YoY in September 2014
due to a fall in power demand and lower coal supplies. Strong
growth across the hydro and nuclear segments, which increased
7.2% and 8.0% YoY, respectively, was partially offset by a 7.6% YoY
decline in generation across the gas segment. Generation across the
coal-based plant reported a moderate growth of 3.1% YoY.
• Company performance: NTPC reported a 0.6% YoY decline in
generation as both coal and gas-based plants reported a fall in
generation by 0.5% and 1.6% YoY, respectively. Generation at Tata
Power declined 4.5% YoY primarily due to disruption at its Trombay
unit, which halted operation for a day. Strong YoY generation growth
across Reliance Infra (up 104.3%) and Jaiprakash Power (up 35.2%)
reflects capacity addition. GMR continued to report strong generation
growth due to improved gas supply from ONGC
• PLF: Accordingly, PLF declined 585 bps across coal-based plants to
56.1% and by 389 bps YoY across gas-based plants to 19.4%.
However, the PLF increased 234 bps YoY to 54.1% across the hydro
segment and by 586 bps YoY to 78.8% across the nuclear segment
driven by better fuel supplies. Accordingly, the overall industry PLF
declined 325 bps YoY to 46.3% YoY
• Deficit: Both base and peak deficit deficits improved to 4.1% and
3.5% vs. 4.3% and 6.0%, respectively, MoM due to moderate
demand. However, YoY, base deficit deteriorated from 3.4% while
peak deficit stayed flat at 3.6%. Consequently, merchant rates
declined 7.1% MoM to | 4.2/unit while it was still up 37.2% YoY
• Fuel supply, prices: Coal inventory continues to remain at a critical
level with 56 out of 104 coal-based plants facing sub-critical inventory
levels due to fuel supply constraints due to logistic issue. The
inventory position was far better YoY with only 18 plants facing subcritical inventory levels in September 2013. International coal prices
were down 23.7% YoY to US$66.3/tonne while on a landed cost basis,
they were down 23.8% YoY. Natural gas production improved slightly
at 91 mmscmd vs. 88 mmscmd in August 2014
• Capacity: In September 2014, capacity addition was 660 MW vs. the
target of 1,420 MW. YTDFY15, capacity addition was 11,021 MW vs.
target of 7,299 MW. In the Eleventh Plan (2007-12), the industry
achieved 86% of targeted capacity, adding approximately 67.5 GW
(including approximately 17 GW renewable) vs. target of 78 GW. The
government has set a target of 88.5 GW for the Twelfth Plan.
Currently, all-India installed capacity stands at 254.1 GW

NTPC reported a marginal decline across generation of 0.6% YoY
due to 0.5% YoY decline across coal based plants due to poor supply
of coal from CIL and lower demand. Generation across gas-based
plants declined 1.6% YoY
Generation across Tata Power’s plants declined 4.5% YoY as
generation was impacted due to a technical snag at its Trombay
plant, which impacted generation at one of its unit for a day. Growth
across Reliance Infra (up 104.3%) and Jaiprakash Power (up 35.2%)
reflects incremental capacity added over the past year
The gas-based plant of GMR continued to report strong generation
growth due to a lower YoY base and improved gas supply from
ONGC. However, GVK continues to suffer due to lack of gas supply
Generation across SJVN and NHPC plant improved 13.6% and 29.0%
YoY, respectively, due to higher YoY capacity

Inventory data
Coal inventory remained at a critical level for the fifth consecutive month
with 56 out of 104 coal-based plants facing sub-critical inventory levels
(57 plants in August 2014) primarily due to higher usage of coal across
thermal plants and fuel supply constraints. The inventory position was far
better YoY with only 18 plants facing sub-critical inventory levels in
September 2013.

Monthly news round up
ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research
•
The President of India promulgated the Coal Mines (Special
Provisions) Ordinance 2014, which was cleared by the Union Cabinet
in the backdrop of the Supreme Court order that quashed the
allocation of 214 coal blocks to companies since 1993. The ordinance
is seen as a step towards energy sector reforms, which will allow
private companies to bid for captive use and allot mines to state and
central public sector undertakings like NTPC and SEBs based on the
government dispensation route. The ordinance also lays down the
provisions for public auction of mines by way of competitive bidding,
which will require bidders to pay a fee not exceeding | 5 crore.
Furthermore, all firms that had their coal blocks cancelled by the
Supreme Court last month, barring those convicted for offences
related to the allotment of mines, can bid in the e-auction after
paying an additional levy i.e. | 295/tonne penalty imposed by the
court on the usage of coal till date. With regard to the ordinance, the
government has allowed future allottees of captive coal blocks to
enter into agreements with a “prior allottee to own or utilise” the
equipment the prior allottee had acquired for purposes of coal
mining. Effectively, this will mean companies whose mines have
been taken away or cancelled can sell or lease or allow their
equipment to be used by new allottees. The proceeds of the coal
blocks won on the competitive bid would be transferred to the
respective states where the blocks are located. While the bidding is
likely to take place over the next three or four months, we believe
that with the amendment to the existing Coal Mineralisation Act in
the form of this special provision, the government has brought in a
much needed reform within the coal segment. This would not only
clear the earlier mess related to the coal scam but also bring in
necessary investment from serious players. This would lead to better
access to fuel availability for end use projects leading to higher PLF
•
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is preparing an
action plan to set up solar capacity of 1,00,000 MW by 2019. The
government is expediting the work by directing states to identify
suitable locations across terrains like deserts, wastelands, national
highways, river banks and even over canals. The proposed target is
five times the target designated under the Jawaharlal Nehru National
Solar Mission (JNNSM) while large solar projects along with solar
parks, micro grids and solar rooftops would all be a part of the
project. With the cost of installing solar capacity falling to | 6.5
crore/MW, the move is aimed at promoting clean energy in the
country, which would also lower the stress on thermal plants, which
are facing issues related to fuel supply constraints
•
The government has fixed the price of domestic natural gas price at
$5.6/mmbtu against the earlier proposal of $8.4, which was proposed
by the UPA government. The government now plans to pool the
imported LNG with the domestic availability and supply the same to
the ~16000 MW stranded gas based power plants. The government
will provide necessary subsidy to these plants to sell power to
discoms at | 5.5/kwh. Furthermore, the fixed price of the gas-based
plants has been increased to | 1.3 vs. the earlier allowance of | 0.85
paise, which would enable these plants to recover the escalated cost
of the projects, which was lying idle for want of gas. We expect the
move to improve the availability and, thus, PLF of these stations,
which would also prevent them from turning into NPAs by making
them viable
