National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)

Determination of the Authority In the Matter of Licensee Proposed Modification of

HYDROCHINA Dawood Power (Pvt.) Limited

June 19, 2013 Application No. LAG-86

(A). Background

(i). NEPRA granted a Generation Licence (No. WPGL/05/2006, dated

December 29, 2006) to HYDROCHINA Dawood Power (Pvt.) Limited (HCDPPL) for

its 50.00 MW Wind Farm (WF) proposed to be located at Near Port Qasim-

Bhambore, Gharo Creek, District Thatta in the Province of Sindh.

(ii). The sponsors of the project (i.e. The First Dawood Group) envisaged

installing forty (40x1.25 MW) Suzlon Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs). Despite

hectic efforts of the sponsors, the project could not be implemented. Later on, the

original sponsors (i.e. The First Dawood Group) sold their equity stake in the project

to Hydrochina international Engineering Company Limited (HCI).

(iii). After the acquisition of the project, the new sponsors of the project

decided to implement the project with some other WTG manufacturer/supplier

which required modification in the already granted Generation Licence.

(B). Communication of Licensee Proposed Modification

(i). HCDPPL in accordance with Regulation-10 of the National Electric

Power Regulatory Authority Licensing (Application & Modification Procedure)

Regulations, 1999 (the Regulations), communicated a Licensee Proposed

Modification (LPM) to the Authority oft,O.ctoter 08, 2012.

REGiSTRAR )>1

!Y.ET

(ii). HCDPPL in the "Text of the proposed Modification" & "Reason in

Support of Modification" statements informed that initially the project was envisaged

to be set up by installing Suzlon (1.25 MW) Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs)

however, the plan could not be materialized. Now HCI has acquired 93.33% shares

of the project. The new sponsors now intends to implement the project with

GoldWind (1.50 MW) WTGs.

(iii). Regarding the "Impact on Tariff', HCDPPL submitted that the company

obtained a Cost Plus Tariff vide determination of the Authority No. NEPRA/R/TRF-

111/DPPL-2008/1357-59, dated December 6, 2008. However, now the company is

planning to adopt Upfront Tariff for Wind Power Plants with all the assumptions and

conditions as announced by the Authority vide its determination dated October 6,

2011. About the "Quality of Service (QoS)" and "Performance", HCDPPL submitted

that the proposed modification will have better impact on the QoS and its

performance under the granted Generation Licence.

(C). Processing of LPM

(i). The Authority in Regulatory Meeting (RM-12-663), held on December

04, 2012 considered the communicated LPM of HCDPPL and admitted the same

for further processing. A Notice about the Communicated LPM was published in the

Newspapers of December 07, 2012, seeking comments from general public and

other stakeholders in favor or against the proposed LPM.

(ii). Apart from the notice in the press, separate notices were also sent to

experts, government ministries and representative organizations etc. inviting their

views and comments.

(D). Comments of Stakeholders

(i). In response to the above published notice of LPM in the press and

subsequent correspondences made with other stakeholders, NEPRA received

comments from five (05) stakeholders including Ministry of Water and Power

(MoW&P), Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) of National Transmission and

Desptach Company Limited (taiTD"Olto cents of Karachi Shipyard and

Engineering Works Limited (KSY&EWL), Securities and Exchange Commission of

Pakistan (SECP) and Board of Investment (Bol) of Prime Minister's Secretariat.

(ii). The salient points of the comments offered by the above mentioned

stakeholders are summarized in the following paragraphs: -

(a). MoW&P in its comments submitted that the modification entails

changes in the technical specification of machinery etc. It does

not define a change of name. In such a case, this is to be treated

as a new entity for issue of a new Generation Licence. This

aspect may also be legally checked. Further the proposed

replaced turbine has a reduced net capacity than the already

installed turbine, which also needs to be scrutinized/inspected;

(b). CPPA expressed that due to the change in technology, the

modification is logical and understandable therefore, the same is

supported. HDCPPL did not mention type of WTG, while CPPA

support the Type-III and Type-IV WTG. CPPA would like to

highlight that HDDPL needs to ensure that their proposed plant

duly complies with the provisions of the Grid Code, approved by

NEPRA, as amended in April 2010 for Grid Integration of Wind

Power Plants, already enforced within the National Grid;

(c). KSY&EWL in its comments remarked that it does not have any

comments to offer in support or in position of the proposal;

(d). SECP remarked that the company was registered on December

28, 2004 at Karachi. The authorized share capital of the

Company is Rs. 5,000,000 and the paid up capital is Rs.

5,000,000. The Company is regular in filing of its statutory

returns;

(iii). The perspective of HCDPPL on the aforesaid position of CPPA was

sought. In its rejoinder, HCDPPL stated that type-III WTGs would be deployed for

the project which are acceptable to CPPA. Further, HCDPPL also confirmed that

the proposed WTG would fully comply with the Grid Code Criteria. Regarding, the

comments of MoW&P, it was submitted that the legal entity remains the same and

only the name of the legal entity has been changed. Approval for such change was

obtained from SECP. About the issue of the reduction in the capacity of HCDPPL, a

minor reduction of 0.5 MW Gross ISO has taken place due to the change in

technology of the power plant and AEDB & NTDC are in full cognizance of the

same. While recommending HCDPPL for the grant of the upfront wind tariff, AEDB

has also certified to NEPRA that the plant, machinery & turbines are new and of

acceptable quality and internationally certified. In view of the satisfactory response

of the HCDPPL, the Authority considered it appropriate to process the

communicated LPM further.

(E). Approval of LPM

(i). The Economic Growth of any Country is directly linked with the

availability of reliable, secure and cheaper supply of electricity. The existing energy

mix of the country is heavily skewed towards costlier thermal power plants, mainly

operating on imported furnace oil.

(ii). The continuously increasing trend in fuel prices is not only causing

severe pressure on the precious foreign exchange reserves of the country but is

also resulting in higher consumer end prices. In view of this, the Authority considers

it imperative that all the indigenous resources including Renewable Energy (RE),

should be explored and their development is encouraged for achieving sustainable

development.

(iii). In consideration of the above, the Authority had earlier granted a

Generation Licence (No. WPGL/05/2006, dated December 29, 2006) to HCDPPL

for an installed capacity of 50.00 MW, to be implemented with WTGs of Suzlon.

However, the project could not be implemented as sponsors could not finalize the

deal of supply of the WTGs with Suzlon. After the acquisition of the project by HCI,

the new sponsors have decided to ca pe11111?-; roject with new WTG (i.e. Gold

/1-S-111,

Wind /1.50 MW). Alternate Energy Development Board (AEDB), which had issued

the Letter of Intent (Lol) for the project has already given its consent to implement

the project with the proposed WTG technology of Gold Wind.

(iv). In view of the above, the Authority considers that the request of

HCDPPL to implement the project with WTGs of Gold wind is worth considering.

Accordingly, the Authority hereby approves the communicated LPM in the

Generation Licence of HCDPPL. The already granted Generation Licence (No.

WPGU05/2006, dated December 29, 2006) in the name of HCDPPL is hereby

modified. The Face Sheet indicating the required changes alongwith Revised

Schedule-I & II of the Generation Licence are attached as Annexure to this

determination. The grant of such a Licensee Proposed Modification would be

subject to the provisions contained in the NEPRA Act and relevant rules framed

there under.
