2.0 POWER SUPPLY SCENARIO OF SOUTHERN REGION

The likely power supply position of Southern Region has been estimated based the capacity additions and the load forecast as per 17th EPS. The details are as given below:
Sl. No. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) Generation Capacity Existing (Without Renewable Energy Generations) th 11 Plan (Under construction) th 12 Plan (Under construction) LTOA Granted and BPTA signed Connectivity Granted BPTA not signed or required New Connectivity Applications Total Additions (2+3+4+5+6 above) Total Installed Capacity (Existing + Additions) Availability (@75%) Peak Demand by 2016-17 (as per 17 EPS) Surplus/Deficit

Southern Region (All figures in MW) 37632 8789 10580 13955 2060 23070 58454 96086 72065 60433 11632

From the above table it may be observed that if all the generation projects who have applied for connectivity then Southern Region shall be in surplus of the order of 11,600 MW during end of 12th plan (i.e. 2016-17),. However, if only 50% of the generation projects applied for Connectivity gets materialized then the surplus shall be of the order of 3000 MW only. In other words the power supply scenario with Southern region as a surplus shall be quite uncertain with respect to its quantum.

A. CONNECTIVITY APPLICATIONS
Till date POWERGRID has received 29 nos. of applications for connectivity (IC 34,000 MW & Connectivity - 33,700 MW ) from different IPPs & 1 no. of applications for connectivity from bulk consumer located in Southern Region as per CERC Regulations, 2009. Out of these 29 applications, 10 nos. applicants were granted Connectivity as per details given at Annexure-1. In the present meeting the remaining 19 applications from IPPs and 1 no. from bulk consumer is proposed to be discussed.

However the applicant has submitted revised applications for seeking Connectivity and LTA due to revision in the unit sizes from 300MW to 350MW. The revised details of the generation project are as given below:
Sl. No. 1. Applicant Installed Capacity (MW) 350 LTA applied for (MW) 364 Time Frame Jun, 2012 Quantum allocated in the region SR WR NR 364 0 0

Meenakshi Energy Private Limited

In this regard it may be mentioned that Meenakshi Energy Private Limited (MEPL) and Simhapuri Energy Private Limited (SEPL) are developing generatyion projects in te Krishnapatnam area. Further, they are also developing the dedicated transmission line 400 kV D/c (quad) from their generation swicthyards to the Nellore substation. This dedicated transmission line is to be LILOed at the Nellore Pooling station being developed for pooling of power from generation proehcst in krishnapatnam area. The chronology for grant of LTOA/LTA for MEPL and SEPL are as given below: MEPL and SEPL had applied and granted LTOA under CERC, Regulations, 2004 for 546 MW and 491 MW from the proposed capacity of 600 MW each. Subsequently, MEPL had applied and granted connectivity and LTA under CERC, Regulations, 2009 for 273 MW from additional generation unit of 300 MW. Recently, MEPL have indicated change in unit configuration from 2x300 to 2x350 MW and have accordingly connectivity and LTA for additional capacity of 364 MW 273 MW earlier granted. In this regard SEPL have expressed their apprehension regarding adequacy of the transmission system to handle additional power due to enhanced unit size at MEPL. As regards, the power handling capacity of the system for enhanced unit size, it may be mentioned that this matter has two pronged aspects (i) adequacy of the immediate transmission system (ii) adequacy of the grid beyond immediate connectivity for absorbing and dispersal of additional power.

Page-23 of 28

Agenda for 12th Meeting of SR contituents regarding Connectivity/LTA applications

With regard to adequacy of the immediate evacuation system it is to mention that dedicated transmission line is quad conductor double circuit line and the total power to be handed is 1401 MW, which is well within carrying capacity of quad conductor of very small length. Therefore, the dedicated line shall be adequate for enhanced capacity of units. Further, the common transmission system for IPP generation projects in Krishnapatnam area comprise of 765kV D/c line which shall have to cater to 1240 MW from Thermal Powertech other than above mentioned 1401 MW. Hence the transmission system is adequate to absorb and disperse power beyond pooling station. However in the interim period till the time common transmission system is commissioned there may be some constraints beyond Nellore (Existing). Proposal : In view of above it is proposed to revise the earlier granted LTA to MEPL from 273MW to 364MW subject to the following additional conditions keeping earlier conditions same. 1) Till the time the Common Transmission System for Krishnapatnam area is commissioned, a. 491 MW of SEPL and 546MW of MEPL shall have equal priority b. additional 364 MW of MEPL shall have lower priority as compared to (a.) above 2) Mutual agreement between SEPL & MEPL shall be arrived at and submitted to CTU for sharing of transmission charges & losses. Also SEPL & MEPL are to sort out issues pertaining to scheduling, metering, UI, etc in consultation with SRLDC.

Members may discuss the above proposals and decide.
