Hydro Coal Gas Diesel Nuclear RES

  • At independence in 1947, India had a per

capita electricity generation of just 17 kWh and only 3061 villages had electricity connections.

  • The level of installed capacity in 1947 was
  • nly 1.36 GW, dominated by hydro and coal.

Total electricity consumption was only 4182 GWh, and was dominated by industry and traction (71% and 7% respectively).

  • By 2017, generation capacity had grown by a

factor of 240 to 326 GW and consumption by a factor of 255, to 1066 TWh.

  • The structure of supply had substantially

diversified (increase in coal and RES, decrease in hydro share), as had the structure of consumption (increase in the share of residential, services and agriculture)

Source: TERI based on data from IEA, 2018, Saubhagya Dashboard, and WB, 2019

  • India has been one of the global success stories in

terms of increasing the access to electricity

  • As of 2018, 100% village electrification had been

achieved, and 100% household is said to have been completed (see Saubhagya dashboard).

  • Access to electricity is potentially a game changer

for rural productivity, but this also depends on the reliability of supply (see chart)

  • However, unless access is combined with

reliability and eventually cost recovery, there may not be a virtuous circle between access-> reliability -> productivity -> cost recovery.

  • Previous examples show that increasing access

has led to deteriorations in quality, as cost recovery has not improved (WB, 2019)

deficit/surplus.

  • The peak deficit averaged almost 15%

in the period 1984-2009, and has now fallen to 0.8%

  • The energy deficit averaged 8.4% in

the same period, and has fallen to 0.6%

  • Whatever deficits remain are due to

logistical issues, rather than absolute deficiencies in generation capacities.

India’s Huge Synchronous Grid Is A Major Achievement and Asset

  • India is the largest synchronous grid in

the world.

  • There is a fairly high degree of power

transfer between regions and states (see figure). Inter-regional trade intensity is about 11%. This is the same as Germany’s electricity trade intensity (12% of gross generation)

  • This is facilitated by the central

government owned Interstate Transmission System.

  • Integration and power transfer will

have to increase between states. Source: WB, 2018

The Services and Residential Sectors Have Been Increasing Their Share of Total Demand

Energy (Sector’s name i.e. Energy/Agriculture; colour should be maintained )

  • In the period 2001 to 2015, the services

and residential sectors have experienced the fastest demand growth

  • These sectors increased their share in

total demand by about 6 percentage points over this period.

  • The residential sector grew faster than

GDP (elasticity >1), while the services sector grew slightly lower than service sector VA (elasticity <1).

  • The agricultural sector grew much faster

than agricultural GVA (elasticity substantially >1), but this may be due to losses being classified as agricultural consumption.

  • Delhi (NCT) load is dominated by the

residential and commercial sectors.

  • To this extent it may be indicative of

the future “urbanised” load of India, with some regional/climatic differences.

  • In the period 2008 to 2017, the

average summer load has become much more variable across the day.

  • And shifted to a two peak structure
  • “Commercial” load peak slightly

after midday.

  • “Residential” night-time cooling

peak, after 21hrs.

The peak demand - in summer and monsoon - is now longer and late at night

  • In 2008-09, the peak demand during summer and monsoon largely occurred at 7 and 8 PM, reflecting air

conditioning use in office and retail sectors

  • In 2017-18, the peak demand occurred after 8 PM on 25% of the days in the summer and monsoon season,

reflecting the growing significance of home air conditioning

  • There has been a significant transition in the

investment pattern in recent years.

  • The period 2008-2016 witnessed a boom in

new coal-fired capacity additions, led largely by the private sector.

  • This was driven by the deregulation of

generation introduced by the Electricity Act (2003), as well as the general boom in productive investment that occurred 2005-

  • 2013. Much of this capacity added in this

period are currently stressed/stranded assets

  • There has been a dramatic fall-off in coal

investment, and a rise in the monetary value

  • f wind and solar investment, despite the

decline in capital costs for wind and solar projects (increasing MW, for decreasing Rs)

The Relative Costs of Generation Technology Have Transformed and Will Continue to Transform

  • As of today, wind and solar are the cheapest source
  • f incremental kWh. Wind and solar are cheaper than

around 1/3 of the variable costs (short-run marginal costs) of the existing coal fleet (variable cost >2.75 R/kWh)

  • This gap will only grow:
  • By 2030, TERI projects ground-mounted solar

PV to be between 1.9 – 2.3 R/kWh (lower value depends on tracking technology increasing CUF)

  • By 2030, TERI projects onshore wind to be

between 2.3-2.6 R/kWh (band represents different CUF depending on wind resource, hub height, etc).

  • By contrast the cost of coal generation is projected to

grow:

  • Real growth in delivered costs of coal, driven

notably by real transport cost increases.

  • Increase in capital costs for higher efficiencies

and lower pollution

  • Sensitivities on the downside (e.g. lower transport

cost escalation, lower learning rates for wind & solar) don’t fundamentally change this picture

  • The capital costs of stationary storage are

projected to decline by about 50% between now and 2030, and could be higher in India if cheaper EPC holds for storage as it has for solar PV.

  • The levelized cost of storage is projected to

decline by almost 70% by 2030

India’s Power Markets Are Dominated By Long-Term Bilateral Contracts, With Power Markets Being Relatively Small, Illiquid and Immature

  • India only introduced exchange based power

markets with the 2003 Electricity Act.

  • Currently about 90% of generation is contracted

under long-term bilateral contracts between generators and DISCOMS. These contracts are structured around a 2 part tariff, consisting of availability based fixed costs, and generation based variable costs.

  • 6% of generation is covered under bilateral

contracts, with little transparency regarding price discovery

  • Only 3% is covered by exchange based day-ahead
  • trading. Ancillary services and real-time energy

balancing are still done on the basis of regulatory, not market mechanisms

  • Demand response/demand side management

is low-to-negative cost flexibility option.

  • India is estimated to have a substantial supply
  • f demand response although considerable

uncertainties exist (40-180 GW)

  • A key source of uncertainty is the extent to

which it can currently be tapped, due to the lack of incentives & markets (e.g. time of use pricing), and lack of technical interfaces

  • Agricultural pumping is estimated to be the

largest source of demand flexibility and tapping it could bring net benefits in terms of farmer productivity & water conservation

Thermal Flexibility Will Be Required At Scale, A Preparing Coal Plant to Play This Role May Reduce the Risks of Financial Stress

  • Substantial coal capacities will still be required to 2030, potentially even an increase on

current levels.

  • Coal will be required to play a role in seasonal energy balancing, during winter months

with low wind and hydro output (see left panel).

  • Aggressive cycling of the coal fleet and seasonal shut down of part of it would be

required to balance daily output of solar (see right panel)

  • This degree of cycling would be challenging and potentially technically stressful. Storage

and demand response could substantially reduce the daily cycling requirements.

  • Electricity markets and incentives may need to evolve to support coal plants to play this

role; providing adequate remuneration for this system service would reduce the risk of financial stress/stranding

“dispatchable renewables” = cost of coal based generation)

  • Achieving 32% generation share of renewables

would require 420 GW of renewables by 2030,

  • Of which 230 GW of solar, and 160 GW of

wind, the rest being biomass and small hydro

  • The grid emissions factor would drop by 25%,

reaching 555 gCO2/kWh, a level comparable with Japan today.

  • The growth rate of renewables capacity is

substantial at 15% per year across the period. In linear terms, this equates to 27 GW per year, faster than has been achieved at any time up to now

  • High demand growth makes it challenging to

grow the share of renewables, necessitating very rapid capacity expansions
