2 LTA Application of REWA Ultra Mega Solar (RUMS) Ltd. for partial change in

target region

REWA Ultra Mega Solar (RUMS) Ltd. has been granted LTA with the following target

beneficiaries: WR: 550MW and NR: 200MW vide intimation dated 29.07.16. As

informed by M/s RUMS Ltd., PPA has been signed among the developers,

MPPMCL/DMRC and RUMS Ltd. on 17th April, 2017 for supply of 651MW power to

MPPMCL(WR) and 99MW power to DMRC (NR). Accordingly, M/s RUMS Ltd. has

submitted a revised application (received on 29.06.2017) regarding change in target

region (from NR to WR) for transfer of 101MW power from the solar project to

MPPMCL (WR) so that the total power transfer requirement of MPPMCL(WR) for

651MW (550MW already granted+101MW requested) is met. In view of the above,

the revised beneficiaries (firm) of M/s RUMS Ltd. shall be:

WR (MPPMCL): 651MW ; NR (DMRC): 99MW

From system studies, it is observed that existing as well as under construction

transmission facilities shall be sufficient for transfer of 101MW additional power to

MPPMCL and no additional system strengthening is required. For power transfer to

NR (99MW), the enhancement in TTC in WR - NR corridor with progressive

commissioning of elements as listed below shall be required:

3 Operationalisation of 450MW LTOA for transfer of power from Essar Power

M.P. Ltd. (EPMPL) to Essar Steel India Limited, Hazira (WR)

Essar Power M.P. Ltd. (EPMPL) was granted Long Term Open Access vide letter

dated 01.11.2007 for transfer of 1200MW from its generation project at Mahan

(2x600MW). M/s EPMPL vide letter dated 22.12.2016 has intimated that it has

decided to relinquish a part of LTOA upto 750MW and has requested to

operationalise the balance LTOA of 450MW through existing LILO of Vindhyachal –

Korba 400kV S/c line at Essar Mahan. M/s EPMPL has further informed

POWERGRID vide letter dated 07.04.2017 that the beneficiary for availing LTOA for

450MW shall be M/s Essar Steel India Limited (ESIL), Hazira located in Gujarat

(WR) for which PPA has already been signed between M/s EPMPL and M/s ESIL.

A meeting was held under the Chairmanship of Member (Power System), CEA on

28.06.2017 at CEA, New Delhi to discuss the extension of LILO arrangement for

evacuation of power of M/s EPMPL Power Project (2x600 MW) at Mahan in Madhya

Pradesh. During the meeting, the following was decided:

The system studies indicate that the LILO of Vindhyachal–Korba STPP 400

kV S/C line at Mahan STPS would also be essential to take care of

contingency of outage of one ckt of Mahan SPTS–Bilaspur Pooling Station

400 kV D/C line for reliable evacuation of power from 2x600 MW units of

Mahan TPS.

M/s EPTCL has agreed to complete the remaining works of Mahan STPS–

Bilaspur Pooling Station 400 kV D/C line by December 2017.

Main Agenda of 25th Meeting of WR constituents for Connectivity & LTA applications – Revised

Page 3 of 3

The transmission system for evacuation of power from M/s EPMPL generation

plant at Mahan is now an ISTS system being implemented by M/s EPTCL

(ISTS Transmission Licensee) and not a dedicated transmission system of

generation developer. As such LILO of Vindhyachal–Korba STPP 400 kV S/C

would not be an interim arrangement.

In view of the above, it was decided in the above meeting that the LILO of

Vindhyachal–Korba STPP 400 kV S/c line at M/s EPMPL switchyard may be

continued as part of ISTS system and this change would be brought to the notice of

constituents in the next meeting of SCPSPWR. Further, from the studies discussed

during the meeting, it emerged that power from one unit of EPMPL can be reliably

evacuated through the LILO arrangement. Subsequently, in the 34th WRPC meeting

held on 28.07.2017, Gujarat had opined that the 450MW LTA from the generation

project to M/s ESIL, Hazira may be made operational.

Accordingly, it is proposed that LTOA for transfer of 450MW power from M/s EPMPL

generation project to M/s ESIL, Hazira may be operationalized. Regarding

relinquishment of a part of LTOA upto 750MW, applicable relinquishment charges in

line with CERC regulations shall be incident on M/s EPMPL.
