4. Signing of UDAY, successful renewable auctions - a positive sign for the sector Successful solar and wind bids have resulted in all time low tariff of Rs 3.47/ unit and Rs 3.42/unit. Saving to the tune of Rs 5796 crore expected from the implementation of UDAY.

5C. TANGEDCO s AT&C losses are high, though lower than national average AT&C losses have reduced marginally in 5 years. Significant efforts needed to meet UDAY target of 13.5% by FY 19 AP Karnataka Tamil Nadu India 30.0% 20.0% 25.6% 24.6% 23.3% 22.4% 22.2% 21.7% 20.8% 20.7% 20.3% 25.7% 24.7% 18.7% 24.0% 20.4% 10.0% 15.3% 13.7% 14.8% 10.6% 13.6% 13.9% 0.0% FY 12 FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 FY 16 9

Regulatory assets in upwards of Rs 10,000 crore. 11
6A. Expected incremental generation appears to be sufficient to meet expected growth in demand IMaCS estimates addition of 15,847 MU between FY 17 and FY 19. Significantly above EPS estimates of additional energy requirement of 11,582 MU. Particular Estimated additional requirement (19 th EPS) IMaCS estimated additional generation MU 11,582 15,847 4,880 MW of projects are in the pipeline for commissioning post FY 19. Projects in pipeline post FY 19 MW ETPS Expansion Project 660 Scheduled commissioning of these projects would be sufficient to meet the additional demand till FY 23. Ennore SEZ Supercritical Thermal Power Project Kundah Pumped Storage Hydro Electric Project 1,320 500 Additional capacity also planned from IPPs 12 Uppur Thermal power project 1,600 NCTPP Stage III 800
6B. Scheduled completion of projects necessary to meet growing demand Thermal projects prone to delays GoTN needs to provide for necessary facilitations for the timely completion of power projects S.N Project Name Developer Capacity (MW) Scheduled Actual/Anticip date ated 1 Neyvelli New TPP NLC 1000 FY 16 FY 19 2 IL&FS TPP IL&FS 1200 FY 15 FY 17 3 Tuticorin TPP Ind-Bharat PIL 660 FY 13 FY 19 4 Mutiara TPP Coastal Energen 1200 FY 12 FY 16 5 Ennore SEZ SCTPP TANGEDCO 1320 FY 19 unknown Though estimates look positive, delayed projects may lead to deficit. 13
7A. TN s ambitious renewable capacity addition plans need infrastructural and policy support Tamil Nadu leads in renewable energy with strong prospects Capacity to be enhanced by 5265 MW between FY 16 and FY 19 Source Capacity (MW) Wind Power 2,000 Solar 3,000 Biomass/Biogas 100 Co-generation 165 Total 5,265 Action points Development of adequate power evacuation infrastructure Flexible generation (greater share of complementary generation such as pumped storage and gas-based plants) High-end storage solutions + Upgrading grid technology, planning protocols New technologies in weather estimations, forecasting and scheduling 14
7B. Interests of existing renewable projects should not be compromised in light of the recently discovered tariffs Successful solar and wind bids have discovered tariffs significantly lower than the feed-in tariffs. Rs./kWh Wind Solar Feed-in tariff 4.16 4.50 Latest bid tariff 3.42 3.47 Challenges and issues Solar curtailment has increased significantly. Availability of cheaper short term power, a probable reason. Tamil Nadu has cancelled award of 500 MW solar projects that resulted from the bids conducted in January 2017 at tariff of Rs.4.40 /kwh stating high tariff. Wind Power Policy not in place. Taking cues from the CERC solar TBCB guidelines, TN needs to formulate forward looking policies to adequately compensate renewable energy developers. Enforceability of agreements is paramount 15
8. New avenues need to be explored for sustained growth in the sector GoI plans to make India 100% EV nation by 2030, current market share - 0.02% Investments need to be made in developing charging infrastructure to make TN an attractive proposition for investors. Developments in EV market open the market for battery manufacturing Investments in EV will harness significant benefits for the power sector Better utilisation of renewable energy in the off-peak hours for charging Reduction in storage requirements May help reducing AT&C losses on account of more accurate billing TN needs to embrace the opportunities existing in the electric vehicle market. Demand forecasting should accordingly be done. 16
In summary. High AT&C losses Poor financial position Need for grid integration, evacuation and policy support for renewables Delays in project execution Sharp reduction in power deficit Signing up for UDAY Successful renewable bids Capacity addition plans 17
