Power Snapshots Strong growth in generation continues as demand revives
9 September 2014PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Our monthly chart book tracks key variables across the power sector including power generation, deficits, capacity addition, coal production/off take and short term market prices. Key highlights for the month are:
» All India power generation up 13% YoY in August ‘14 but PLF was flat. All India generation grew 13% YoY to 89BU’s; generation growth was mainly driven by coal based generation (+22.6% YoY). Hydro generation growth was down 11% due to seasonal variation and nuclear generation also was down 2% YoY. All India PLF’s at 55% (flat YoY); due to strong capacity addition.
» NTPC’s generation lags, PAF also take a hit: NTPC’s coal based generation was up 1% yoy to 16BU (down 8% MoM). Coal based PLF was down 2.5 ppt YoY to 70% (‐7ppt on MoM basis). Gas based generation improved 32% YoY. Gas based PLF was up 10pp to 41% on low base.
» RWPL generation improves; Rosa TPS takes shut down: The Rajwest PLF improved to 72% led by expansion of mine. Ratnagiri PLF was flat yoy to 74%. Mundra UMPP PLF declined to 61% and Rosa TPS declined due to maintenance shutdown.
» International coal prices dip; CIL production/off take improves. RB index prices dipped to ~ USD70/ton and so did low grade coal. The dip in RB index prices would be beneficial for imported coal dependent project like Adani’s Mundra TPS, JSW Energy Vijaynagar and Ratnagiri TPS. CIL production in Aug ’14 stood at 35mton up 11% yoy due to a low base. For FY15, production during April‐ August was up 5% YoY.
» Demand improves: Demand has picked up meaningfully and was up 9% YoY in July’14 and supply grew 9.3% leading to base deficit at 3.6%, flat YoY. Peak deficit was down 60bps YoY to 3.9%. Higher demand on account of weak monsoons lead to sharp 115% YoY increase in IEX price to Rs 4.4/kwh and in southern India price increased 63% to 5.6%.
» 768 MW capacities added in July ’14; 5GW added YTDFY15. In July ’14 capacity addition stood at 768 MW including thermal capacity of 700 MW and hydro capacity of 68MW as compared to target of 1100MW addition in July ’14. YTD FY15 capacity addition stood at 5GW, 134% of the targeted capacity.

All India generation and PLF’s
All India Capacity (excl renew.) and PLF (MW)
In August ’14 all India PLF was flat YoY to 55.5% and was up 400 bps MoM driven by seasonal variation.
Fuel wise generation and growth (%)
Thermal generation stood at 68.9BU up 22% YoY led by robust coal based generation. Nuclear generation was down 2% to 3BU and hydro generation declined 11% YoY to 9BU’s.
Thermal PLF’s (sector wise) (%)
Central utilities PLF declined to 65%. State utilities PLF stood at 56% and IPP’s PLF although sub optimal improved 1500 bps yoy to 68%.
PLF by fuel type (%)
Overall coal PLF’s stood at 60% as compared to 65% in previous month and 56% YoY. Gas based plants continue to operate atsub‐optimal PLF of 22%.

NTPC’s generation and PLF’s
Coal based generation and PLF
NTPC’s coal based generation was up 1% to 16.8 BU. We note decline in share of NTPC’s generation as a % of overall generation to ~20% vs. 28‐30% historically.
Gas based generation and PLF
NTPC’s gas based generation was up 3% but PLF’s continue to languish at 40% on low availability of gas.
Coal based PLF (Plant wise)
NTPC’s Talcher TPS and Sipat TPS reported substantial improvement on YoY basis. PLF of Tanda TPS and Singrauli TPS declined significantly YoY
