​Utilities: Only mild opposition to draft regulation to lower RoE for RE; Highlights of Delhi visi

  • We attended the public hearing on renewable energy (RE) regulations for 2017-2020 held by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC). We also met officials/companies from the power sector in Delhi. Key highlights:
  • During the CERC’s public hearing on draft regulations (2017-2020) for RE, there was only mild opposition to a reduction of RoE to 14%. RoE for conventional projects may not necessarily be reduced because these projects have a higher risk profile, a longer gestation period and involve a large number of affected parties, in our view.
  • Various actions are undertaken to plug DISCOM leakages: (1) discouraging open access, (2) DBT and (3) privatization.
  • Privatization of DISCOM circles is gathering pace. Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Odisha and Rajasthan will offer many circles.
  • The focus on electrification is gaining steam (from every village to every house).Plants older than 25 years will be replaced with super-critical plants rather than renovating them, considering the superior lifecycle benefits of reduction in fuel consumption and emission.
