Why Small Hydro

Hydro is a renewable source of clean energy
Has very little operation cost Sustainable since the projects uses only renewable
resources

Input Costs & PPA

PPA remained the same since 2003
Rs 2.80 / Unit (in karnataka for 10 years, based on cost of 3.9 Cr /MW) With input cost increasing by 52% and PPA remaining the same, Project becomes unviable and hence not getting implemented

Policy framework
- Approvals
- Cost mitigation avenues - Duty Exemptions - PPA responsive to input costs
23rd August 2008

Current situation in Small Hydro

Total Duty and Tax burden of 18 to 20 % of
project cost Deemed Export Status if ICB followed Duty Drawback (pay first, claim refund for excise and customs) Advance components

UMPP Situation
New Mega Power Policy (awaiting cabinet approval)
Exemption of customs and excise duty for equipments
No Need for following ICB process

Taxes and duties for Small Hydro

All Small Hydro projects to have automatic
Deemed export status Exempt from Excise duty and customs duty with no riders attached (The Turkey example) Uniform VAT structure across the states (same rate as CST)
23rd August 2008

PPA
PPA Needs to be responsive to the market conditions (Andhra has increased PPA for wind power from 3.10 to 3.50 on account of steel price increase*) Allow for changes in a signed PPA, if ground conditions change No cap on total units generated

Conclusion
Small Hydro is a viable business proposition
Challenges and risks are high The growth can be stimulated by -Responsive PPA (will attract investments)
- Policy support in line with other power projects
