Item NO SA-2: SCHEDULING OF POWER FROM NTPC JHANOR-GANDHAR

STATION.

NTPC have intimated the following with respect to scheduling of power

from NTPC-Jhanor stations:

Govt. of India has allocated APM gas, the cheapest gas available in the

country to all NTPC gas stations including Jhanor-Gandhar. A part of APM gas is

supplied to Jhanor-Gandhar station from ONGC’s South Gujarat fields through a

dedicated pipeline in GAIL’s South Gujarat network. As per the requirement NTPC

has entered into APM gas supply agreements with GAIL for committed drawl with

Take-or-Pay clause.

It has been observed that generation schedule on domestic APM gas

received by Jhanor-Gandhar station has started decreasing from November,2014

and of late the station is not getting any generation schedule. In the absence of

schedule, station is not able to draw ONGC’s South Gujarat gas from GAIL. Due to

technical constraints GAIL has indicated its inability to divert this gas to other gas

stations of NTPC. Further GAIL vide letter dated 30.01.2015 has raised concerns

regarding facing of serious operational and contractual problems due to this poor

off take of gas. The poor off take has been leading to instances of flaring of this

gas by ONGC which is a terrible waste of scarce national resource.

It may also be noted that MOP & NG which allocates domestic gas has

taken a very serious view of this situations where gas suppliers are compelled to

flare gas due to poor off take by consumers. As APM is the cheapest gas in the

country, any shortfall in its drawl may lead the Govt. to reduce allocation of the

same to this & other NTPC stations.

GAIL has further intimated that if this situation continues, they would be

constrained to enforce Take-or-Pay charges on the station in line with the

contractual obligations. To obviate such situation, it is requested that sufficient

schedule may be given to Jhanor-Gandhar station so that the station can operate

at least at its technical minimum load in combined cycle mode and can draw the

committed gas from GAIL to avoid Take-or-Pay situation.
