ANNEXURE – IV

State Hydel Policy For Development Of

Small Hydro Power Projects through

Private Sector Participation



Government Resolution No. PVT-1204/(160/2004)/ HP Mantralaya, Mumbai 400032

Dated: 15th September 2005.

I. PREAMBLE:

Power is a critical infrastructure on which the socio-economic development of the

country depends. The growth of the economy and its global competitiveness hinges on the

availability of quality power at competitive rates. Therefore, it is imperative that electricity is

made available at globally competitive cost.

The Government of Maharashtra (GoM) has laid maximum emphasis on the full

development of its hydro potential being a clean & renewable source of energy. It has been

therefore decided to encourage private sector participation in development of Small Hydro

Projects ( SHPs). Accordingly GoM declared policy vide Water Resources Department’s

(previously known as Irrigation Department’s (ID)) G.R. No. HEP (7/2002)/HP, dated 28th

November 2002. This policy is applicable to CPP through hydropower projects up to 25 MW

installed capacity which is considered as one of the non-conventional energy source.

Electricity Act 2003 (EA 2003) has come into force since 10th June, 2003. This act

has replaced the Indian Electricity Act 1910, the Electricity (Supply) Act 1948 and Electricity

Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998.

The act has delicenced the generation and permitted direct commercial relationship

between generating company and consumer/trader. The act has awarded generating company

a right to open access to State Transmission Utilities (STU) for the purpose of wheeling

electricity. The EA 2003 has also enlarged the definition of Captive user.

25


During the policy implementation process of GoM’s policy dated 28.11.02 number of

suggestions have been received requesting for certain amendments to the provisions in the

state policy in light of provisions of EA 2003.

On this background and with an intention to harmonise the provisions in the state

policy with that in EA 2003 , GoM is pleased to declare revised policy for development of

SHPs up to 25 MW capacity, through the private sector participation. This policy seeks to

replace the earlier policy dated 28th November, 2002. The revised policy is intended to

encourage the participation of both the Captive Power Producers (CPPs) and Independent

Power Producers (IPPs) in development of SHP in the state.

II. Objectives :

The objective of the policy is

� to harness the green power with the help of private sector.

� to create suitable environment for attracting private sector investment .&

� to lay down the framework for the implementation of the policy.

Part A : Policy Guide Lines:

A-1 Scope:

The list of identified SHPs (up to 25 MW) sites is available with Government of

Maharashtra , Water Resources Department (GoMWRD). The same shall be updated from

time to time. The projects from this list shall be offered for development as CPP/IPP.

Unidentified SHP sites proposed by the developers for development of CPP/IPP shall also be

governed by this policy.

For the purpose of this policy, Captive Power Plant (CPP) is defined as a SHP set up

under section 9 read with clause (8) of section 2 of EA 2003 and compiling the requirements

stipulated in Electricity Rules 2005 notified by Ministry of Power, Govt. of India (GoI) on

8th June, 2005.

26


For the purpose of this policy IPP is defined as SHP set by any person as defined in

EA 2003 for generating electricity, which can be sold to any consumer located in the state of

Maharashtra or any other willing distribution licensee or any Power Trading Company.

The provisions of this policy are also applicable for any governmental or

semigovernmental organisation of GoM who owns the water reservoirs.

A-2 Operative Period:

The policy shall be in operation from the date of publication of this resolution till it is

cancelled/revised. All the projects awarded within this period shall be governed by this

policy.

The SHP allotted under this policy shall be on Build, Operate & Transfer Basis

(BOT). The BOT period shall be 30 years. The BOT period shall start from the date of

commissioning of the project. At the end of the BOT period the absolute ownership of the

SHP along with land, switchyard & allied equipment shall automatically stand transferred to

GoMWRD free of cost.

MERC has initiated the tariff determination process for SHPs. Tariff and other

dispensation determined through this process may or may not apply for a period coterminus

with BOT and/or lease period agreed to between the developer and GoMWRD.

GoMWRD may extend the BOT period at its discretion. If the period is extended

GoMWRD reserves the right to review the charges specified in section A-14 of this policy.

A-3 The procedure for selection of Developers:

The procedure for selection of developers shall be as under.

A-3.1 The list of sites for SHPs to be offered for privatisation is available with GoMWRD.

This list shall be displayed on the web site of GoMWRD and shall be updated from time to

time. GoMWRD shall offer projects from this list for development through public

notification. The bidding process shall be open to both CPP and IPP.

27


A-3.2 Prequalification evaluation of the interested developers shall be done. The criteria for

pre-qualification shall be technical & financial capabilities, past experience and other relevant

attributes of the developer. The necessary information regarding attributes to be evaluated,

their inter-se weightage, guidelines for evaluation, passing score on attributes required for

pre-qualification shall be specified in pre-qualification document. Based on the above criteria

the developers shall be pre-qualified.

A-3.3 The bidding procedure shall be as under.

A-3.3.1 Main bidding documents shall be issued only to pre-qualified developers. The

minimum threshold premium shall be mentioned in the bidding document. The bidders shall

quote a premium payable to GoM over and above threshold premium and support his bid by

Earnest money Deposit (EMD). Upfront premium will be the primary consideration for

allotment of the project. Upfront premium offered by both IPPs/CPPs will be evaluated. The

highest bid so evaluated will be the criteria for selection.

A-3.3.2 In most of the projects GoMWRD already constructed intake structure hosting trash

rack & sluice gates. Reinforced concrete lined penstock is also laid in the body of the dam.

GoMWRD intends to recover its exclusive investment on power component viz. trash rack

and steel penstock by fixing the threshold premium for bidding. This threshold premium shall

be Rs. 50 Lakhs/MW in case of SHPs in which GoMWRD has already made investment on

trash rack and penstock. In other cases it shall be zero.

A-3.4 The GoMWRD shall intimate developer regarding his selection and Letter of

Permission (LoP) to the developer. This LoP will empower the developer to make necessary

investigations and prepare Techno-Economic Feasibility Report (TEFR). The data available

with GoMWRD if any shall be made available to the selected developer, free of cost. The

Developer shall draw his own inferences from this data.

A-3.5 If the developer comes forward with his own site for development of the project,

GoMWRD shall issue LoP directly provided the proposed project is not already investigated

by GoMWRD. Decision of Secretary (CAD), GoM in this regard shall be final.

A-4 Development of Project:

A-4.1 After receipt of the LoP the developers shall prepare Techno Economic Feasibility

Report (TEFR). The TEFR shall be prepared considering the fact that the release of water

shall be strictly as per irrigation/domestic/industrial demands and the generation will have to

be synchronised with these releases. GoMWRD reserves the right to decide the release

schedule and modify it from time to time as per the requirements. GoMWRD shall make

serious efforts to release maximum volume of water in such a manner that it can be used for

generation of electricity at desired time. However, the decision of GoMWRD in this regard

shall be final and binding. No claims of compensation on these grounds shall be entertained.

If the developer is satisfied about the techno-economic viability of the project he shall

submit the TEFR to GoMWRD within three months from the date of LoP alongwith the

processing fees as indicated hereinafter.
