Transcript of Vulnerability of Power Sector from Financial Globalisation.
Vulnerability of Power Sector from Financial Globalisation
Power Sector in India
• Installed capacity ~ 110,000 MW (4 to 6% growth)
• Power sector turnover ~ $35 Billion p.a.• ~ 50% houses without electricity (need very
small quantity of power)• Generation ownership ~ 20% private, 25%
Central and by rest state government• Distribution largely controlled by States
Major Stages in Electricity Sector
NTPC,Agri 1975-90 Increased Access & Federal intervention
Growth 1950–75 Major Growth, Public Ownership
IPP Era 1991-98 Private Power Projects
E Act 2003 Competition
WB Model 1996-2002 Orissa & others
International influences
1. Early period – import of equipment and finance (WB, Bilateral funding)
2. IPPs (1992–2002)
3. Un-bundling, Regulatory Commissions, Privatisation (1996+)
4. Competition /market model (2003+)
The IPP Era
• Major fall in US capacity addition
• IPP concept emerged in most developing countries
• State / utility finances under stress bypassed by financing project on future cash flows + govt guarantees
• Preferential treatment to MNCs
• Demand over projection
• No competitive bidding
• One sided, high-cost contracts
• Allegations of huge pay-offs
• Influence of Export Credit Agencies (G8), MDBs, & Governments
• International arbitration

Time wasted, basic issues ignored (worsening finances of sector), large compensation paid by many countries, Several Scams!Several Scams!
Examples of IPPs
• Dabhol (Enron) Maharashtra 2200 MW• Maheshwar (MP) 400 MW• Spectrum (Rolls-Royce), GVK, Lanco, + several
others (AP) improved distribution recoveries to pay IPPs
• Bujagali (AES) 200 MW Uganda (role of IFC, WB Inspection Panel, corruption project cost now reduced by 30%)
• Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand … Large share of projects have continued…
Un-bundling, privatisation, independent regulation (WB model)
• IPP process was unsustainable without improved recoveries from distribution. Section in WB was opposed to IPPs – promoted sector restructuring
• Orissa model – attempted in some countries• In 1998, India adopted Regulatory commissions at
the national level (in an attempt to reduce interference of minister in tariff setting and investments)
Rapid Replication of WB model - Un-bundling, Privatisation, and Independent Regulation
WB states
• Uttar Pradesh (UP)
• Haryana
• Andhra Pradesh (AP)
• Rajasthan
• Karnataka
ADB states
• Gujarat
• Madhya Pradesh (MP)
• Kerala
Major Features:
Govt Ownership Private Ownership
Budgetary Support Private Capital
Self-reliance Globalization
Cross-subsidy Cost-based Pricing
Experience of distribution privatization
• No clear verdict that it is superior, difficult to implement in India
• Major changes – e.g. Capital investments proposed by a Mumbai utility, tariff increase for poor

California story of manipulation
• Industry unwilling to share high cost Nuke (stranded costs) in face of low cost gas
• Competition based on power-pool was setup• Consultant called “Perot Systems” implemented
power Pool. • “Perot Systems” also gave blue-print to rig the
system through back-door consultancy to Reliant and others! These generation companies rigged the pool using “Perot Systems consultants” (Death Star, Get Shorty, Fat Boy, etc.)

California – Gas, electricity prices were rigged generating large rents.
Public money was extensively used for bail over and above corporate bankruptcies
Power revenues went from $ 2 to 9 Billion - 62% of the increase was due to monopoly power [Severin Borenstein 2000]
Government closed down pool, entered in high cost long-term PPAs. Moving back to regulated model
Problems with power markets
Scales of manipulation go up dramatically,
Needs larger regulatory capacity,
Difficult to implement in several countries
Continuous intervention required
Indian Situation• Partial competition
aimed at forcing tariff rationalisation, lowering cost of generation, and capacity addition
• Several problems in implementation, opposition by state
Desired Direction in India• Need for experiments of restructuring public sector
– in collaboration with unions and other actors• Hold back fundamental changes in the sector• Increase democratic control on policy, operation of
utility accountability at different levels• Increase regulatory capacity• Franchisee model needs to be moderated
