'Pooled price' for coal will hurt Discoms
The idea of distributing imported coal in the country utilizing a price mechanism was mooted first this year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. This was to cater to India growing interest in power-grade fuel over and above what Coal India Ltd (CIL) is in a situation to supply from the mines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
This proposal from the Planning Commission,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which envisages customers of domestic coal shelling out a slightly higher price to partially subsidise the larger cost of imported fuel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], did not begin to see the light of the day then. The main reason: Imports not materialising because of CIL delaying award of contracts.
The agenda has resurfaced again within the last couple of months, following disputes over CIL fulfilling fuel supply agreements (FSA) signed with power stations commissioned after March 2009.
A piece of power producers, led through the public sector NTPC Ltd, has put its foot down in seeking the absolute minimum supply commitment of 80 per cent of its coal requirements a demand virtually impossible to satisfy because of constraints to raising domestic production.
Since that makes imports imminent when the FSAs should be workable, the Centre, particularly the Planning Commission,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has once more revived the pooled price mechanism idea.
But this time around,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is to serve a narrower purpose: The imported coal is now slated to be distributed to fulfil the FSA requirements of nearly one-third of the country thermal power capacity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the bulk of that is in private sector. The cost of this coal is proposed to be subsidised by existing generation utilities, mostly within the public sector.
Who gains?The CIL board approved the cost pooling proposal on August 7, as it might have no impact on the organization finances. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's left many wondering as how the power sector gains from the whole mechanism.
Inside a regulated environment, where power producers can pass-through their costs (so long as they do not claim that they can pay a lot more than the index price for imported coal, as based on the regulator), the price of fuel makes little impact on them. The majority of the state-owned power plants work under this principle: Theoretically speaking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], therefore, NTPC and others have little to achieve or lose from pooling of fuel prices.
While both CIL and the Centre are yet to explain the rationale, logically subsidised imported fuel should largely help a section of privately-owned power producers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which in fact had entered into long-term power supply agreements with distributing companies or Discoms mainly controlled by State governments in a fixed, levelised tariff. It's they who're currently in serious trouble, due to a host of issues ranging from inadequate domestic coal supplies, unfriendly mining policies adopted by exporting nations, to the rupee recent depreciation.
Needless to say, none of those issues was anticipated during the tariff bidding. Ideally, pooled-price mechanism should particularly help a couple of producers whicho banked on cheap domestic supplies either fully or partially to keep the costs on tight leash.
Undoing a wrong?Incidentally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was UPA-1 which implemented the fixed tariff bidding policy. With the private sector having locked in huge capital in new plants and the Discoms/regulators denying amendments within the terms and conditions of the original PPAs, the Centre is most likely now looking at roundabout methods to take action to its own mistakes.
In a bid to warrant pooling of coal prices, it has help with the argument that the proposed mechanism would end up helping the cost of electricity by merely 10 paise a unit with an average,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while providing some breathing space towards the power sector.
It is, however, debatable whether the entire nation ought to be spending money on safeguarding the risks of non-public capital and a faulty government policy. Also, one could ask why an initial entrant in the commercial (who gets adequate domestic coal and is operating in regulated tariff regime) should be making method for the late entrant (who were built with a relatively aggressive strategic business plan), which is exactly what the proposal suggests. But, that isn't all.
Once implemented, pooling of coal prices would eventually result in the burden being passed on to the Discoms. True,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the fact that they have signed fixed-tariff PPAs with private producers would not oblige the Discoms to pay for any extra for this power. However the most of power they buy are not from private producers, but from generators operating within the regulatory cost-plus tariff regime.
In a scenario where they're also grappling with aggregate under-recoveries of Rs 200,000 crore, the proposed pooling mechanism would only add to the fiscal vulnerability from the Discoms. They will wind up paying more for that electricity , without having much of a clue about how they can recover the same.
All not overWhile the Planning Commission or even the Power Ministry may be convinced of the merits from the proposal, matters may not end there.
As the CIL board has approved the proposal with regard to price pooling from the coal to become imported because of it vis-à-vis its mined coal, the organization has additionally been mandated to go back to all of its existing consumers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like a pre-requisite to introducing the mechanism. That, willy-nilly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], makes the proposal itself a national agenda.
When the consumers refuse to digest the prescribed pill, CIL may have to abort its import plans, as with yesteryear. It might, then, force power producers to return to the drawing board, whilst not pushing for 85 per cent supply commitments from CIL.相关的主题文章：
