MOSL: UTILITIES-Flexible coal linkage enhances value of low-cost plants-18GW state-owned plants could stop generation

​UTILITIES: Flexible coal linkage enhances value of low-cost plants; 18GW state-owned plants could stop generation; Buy JSPL, JSWE

  • Flexible utilization of coal linkage (tolling) is a win-win. Saving of transport cost reduces DISCOMs’ power purchase cost and supports generation by low-cost private power plants.
  • There is potential for ~18GW of high-cost state GENCOs to use tolling and generate savings of ~INR25b, representing 10% of finance cost saving under UDAY.
  • Private generating companies with ~27GW of untied capacities – many near coal mines – would benefit. Merchant power prices would get a boost.
  • Rising renewable energy (RE) generation enhances the value of low-cost base-load generating plants. Tolling and stricter environment norms could drive faster-than-expected rebalancing of the power market.
  • We like JSPL and JSW Energy. The implied value of their merchant capacities is at a significant discount to replacement cost.
