Environmental show of the south 2014 new entrants in electricity generationTNenergy
Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Office of Energy Programs’ Director Molly Cripps moderated a panel presentation on “New Entrants in Electric Generation in the Tennessee Valley” at the 43rd Environmental Show of the South (ESOS) in Gatlinburg on April 30. The panel was comprised of experts in energy law and federal regulations, and the session was approved for continuing legal education credits.
This presentation discusses about Electricity Laws and Regulations. It primarily focuses on India, but a reference to other countries is made at few places.
Electricity generation in Nigeria started in 1896 although it was not until 1929 that the first utility company, the Nigerian Electricity Supply Company was established.
In the 1950s and 1960s the Nigerian government created the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria to control all existing diesel/coal fired isolated power plants across the country and the Niger Dams Authority to develop hydroelectric power in Nigeria. These two entities were amalgamated into the National Electric Power Authority in 1972.
By the late 1990s it became clear that the publicly owned and operated electricity system was failing to meet Nigeria’s power needs. The National Electric Power Policy of 2001 set the go-forward framework for power reform in Nigeria, leading to the National Electric Power Policy and thus the NIPP.
The players in the Nigerian electricity market are often referred to as market participants. In order to carry on business as a market participant, it is imperative that such entity(ies) obtain the appropriate licence from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
Electricity Generation Licence.
Distribution Licence.
Transmission Licence.
System Operation Licence.
Trading Licence.
A generation licence authorises the licensee to construct, own, operate and maintain a generation station for purposes of generation and supply of electricity in accordance with the Electric Power Sector Reform Act, 2005. Subject to this Act, the holder ofa generation licence may sell power or ancillary services to any of the classes of persons specified in the licence. An electricity generation licence is needed for any power generation activity beyond 1MW.
A transmission licence authorises the licencee to carry on grid construction, operation, and maintenance of transmission system within Nigeria, or that connect Nigeria with a neighbouring jurisdiction limited to, the following activities as may be specified in the licence.
A trading license authorizes the licencee to engage in the purchasing, selling, and trading of electricity. The Commission (NERC) determines the terms and conditions of trading licences as may be appropriate in the circumstances.The Commission may also issue temporary bulk purchase and resale licence, giving the licensee, the ability to purchase electrical power and ancillary services from independent power producers and successor generation companies for the purpose of re-sale to one or more other licensees, or to an eligible customer. Example of a licensed trading entity in Nigeria is the NBET.
This is the Government administrative arm that deals with policy formulation and provides general direction to other agencies involved in the power sector.
The key function of the Ministry is to develop and facilitate the implementation of policies for the provision of adequate and reliable power supply in the country.
New Entrants in Electric Generation in Tennessee ValleyTNenergy
New Entrants in Electric Generation in Tennessee Valley" at the 43rd Annual Environmental Show of the South on April 30, 2014 in Gatlinburg, TN. The panel was comprised of experts in energy law and federal regulations, including Jim Rossi of Vanderbilt University and Gregory Young and Kenneth Gish of Stites and Harbison, PLLC. The session was approved for continuing legal education credits.
Introduction to the Group Captive Mechanism in India. Setting up a renewable energy project, especially solar and wind, under this mechanism is considered to be one of the most attractive options that would give a higher return on investment.
Calculating the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and the Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) is key to understanding how market size changes in relation to subsidy level, technology cost, and financing costs. This presentation provides an introduction to these measurements and uses evidence from Connecticut's Green Bank (CEFIA) to show how these calculations can impact product design and green bank planning.

14.10.2019 proposed framework for real time market for electricity
1. Focus: Grid Security
Vijay Menghani
Good judgment comes from experience;
experience comes from bad judgment.
-- Mark Twain
Proposed framework for Real-
Time Market for Electricity.
Public Hearing : 14.10.2019
2. Purpose of Regulations
• Regulations is boutique of incentive disincentive for desired behavior
• State-mandated regulation is government intervention in the private
market in an attempt to implement policy and produce outcomes
which might not otherwise occur, ranging from consumer protection
to faster growth or technological advancement.
• The regulations may prescribe or proscribe conduct ("command-and-
control" regulation), calibrate incentives ("incentive" regulation), or
change preferences ("preferences shaping" regulation).
• Efficient regulations can be defined as those where total benefits
exceed total costs.
3. Objective
Reducing dependence on DSM
Deepening the market
Concept of Gate closure
Absorbing More Renewable Power
But what is ultimate objective function at central system operation level: If all SLDCs
manage themselves , lesser quantity of Regulating Reserves would required to operate grid
in safe and secure mode.
• Individual stakeholders objective : ? Quite similar to National Electricity Policy and Tariff
Policy
• Secure Grid, No blackout , Uninterrupted power at economic cost
• Maximization of Renewable Generation ,Clean Environment , less Co2, less water
Consumption
5. Consultants and practitioner
• Study at Central level with certain assumptions is not reflective of
ground conditions
• Local Energy Mix and flexibility is not sufficient to absorb all RE
energy in High RE low Demand period
• Operating protocols and decision Making procedure
• Power Portfolio costs .
• Access to new, near the operation time , market is necessary , so
RTM is good initiative.
• Even with additional Wind capacity of 2300 MW more as compared
to last year , Generation in August,2019 and Sep,2019 ( Prov) is 17.5%
and 16% less than last year .
9. Power Market Development
• Market Development not mentioned in Section 79
• Section 66. (Development of market): The Appropriate Commission shall endeavor to promote
the development of a market (including trading) in power in such manner as may be specified and
shall be guided by the National Electricity Policy referred to in section 3 in this regard.
5.7 COMPETITION AIMED AT CONSUMER BENEFITS ( NEP 2005)
• 5.7.1 To promote market development, a part of new generating capacities, say 15% may be sold
outside long-term PPAs . As the power markets develop, it would be feasible to finance projects
with competitive generation costs outside the long-term power purchase agreement framework.
In the coming years, a significant portion of the installed capacity of new generating stations
could participate in competitive power markets. This will increase the depth of the power
markets and provide alternatives for both generators and licensees/consumers and in long run
would lead to reduction in tariff.
• So as per present NEP: Power market constitutes either 15% capacity outside PPA or capacity
Outside PPA ( Merchant ) . So bringing existing PPA capacity into market not appear to be fit into
scheme of thing.
10. Are we All In
• Discussion paper in July,2018 and even after one year Stakeholders
not all on same page but on multiple pages,
• Most players want comfort of past to continue, risk averse, not fully
prepared , passing through Transition of RE disruption .
• IT systems , Load and generation forecasting evolving.
• Preparation time of Open Access registry
• “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;
not only plan, but also believe.”
– Anatole France
Not fully on board All together through Nudge
Open Access, 175 GW ODF, Saubhagya, Single Use plastic ban
11. Mismatch or synchronized
Power Market Development :Central and State
Regulations/Systems/ Organization structure
What Participants want
1. NLDC through gate Closure wanted certainty on
quantum of URS for RRAS.
2. State want to reduce their deviation through a
last mile Real Time market to manage load and
variation in RE.
3. Few feasible bilateral contracts are not
happening due to lack of price discovery
mechanism . Umbrella agreements ( SR)not working
for larger control area to balance RE.
4. Few machines being operated at Minimum
technical load can be switch off through a trade
with neighboring state under scheduled generator
( Suratgarh-IV ( Rajasthan)– Haryana )

Regulation Down

Gate Closure : Thin layer of Last stage of optimization
Source : NLDC Monthly Reports and RRAS report. Are we are
burning coal more than what is required as frequency is more
than 50.05 Hz for more than 20% of time.
13. Suggestion: Objective function is to reduce Cost
and quantum of Regulating Reserve
• As objective is to increase /deepen
opportunity for closer to operation
correction , let first implement Gate Closure
on PPA generators so the quantity available
for Existing URS based RRAS is firm
• Discoms right to schedule and recall survive
as per proposed methodology and remain
suspended only for an hour or six block. If
system operator want , it can be enhanced.
• Let existing contract holders to utilize Long
Term contract in a optimum manner during
day and balance goes to RRAS rather than
RTM , except for consented quantum which is
going to DAM.
• A Subset RTM only for Merchant Capacity as
per proposed market time line and where
buyer and sellers contract sacrosanct .
• Participants : Discoms, Merchant Seller and
balance of consented /surrendered.
• No Revision of schedule . In case of outage ,
buyer had to face DSM
• Mixing both PPA and merchant generators in
RTM affecting risk return of both and
outcome of their earlier choices.
• Later fully surrendered quantity as per
provisions of PPA or lapsed PPA quantity can
enter into RTM.
• Excess RE can be sold by Discoms in RTM as
near the time visibility will be better. Three
hour ahead forecast give best results.
Staggered Implementation: Two parallel streams
14. Many Markets Mechanism will work together
DAMSECD

Term DSM
RSRAURS

15. Suggestion: Objective function is to reduce Cost
and quantum of Regulating Reserve
• Market based Ancillary Service implementation is overdue as initially
it was implemented for one year , now running into third year.
• No of players and quantity of available RRAS need to be increased to
achieve optimum cost.
• As earlier also presented before Commission that unless cost
allocation principle is changed and payment through DSM continued
, there is no incentive for State utility to change behavior.
• Event based cost allocation as Public good and Non – event based
cost allocation can be based on private good principle.
16. Path forward : 2020 Reserve Regulation
Ancillary Service
• With implementation of Gate Closure and Revision of RRAS Regulation by
broadening , market price and Cost allocation.
• Desired quantum of RRAS available with NLDC target should be achieving
frequency at least 95% within ISGS band in 2020.
• Make National Level Grid Visibility better similar to CASIO & AEMO
• By separate cost allocation for event ( ISGS failure, Slit during Monsoon)
and non event ( Overdrawal, unbalance portfolio), nudge utility towards
balance portfolio by using DAM and RTM.
• If frequency is within secure band , RE curtailment incidents due to Grid
security will reduce.
• Both objectives Grid security and Maximization of RE can be achieved.
