Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP)
Background
Ministry of Power launched a unique initiative in 2005-06 to facilitate the development of Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) each having a capacity of about 4000 MW each, at both the coal pitheads and coastal locations aimed at delivering power at competitive cost to consumers by achieving economies of the scale. The Central Government has accordingly taken the initiative for facilitating the development of UMPPs under tariff based competitive bidding route using super critical technology on build, own and operate (BOO) basis. Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is the Technical partner and Power Finance Corporation (PFC) is the Nodal Agency.
In order to enhance investors’ confidence, reduce risk perception and get good response to competitive bidding, PFC incorporates Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for each UMPP to undertake the bidding process on behalf of the power procuring (beneficiary) States. The purpose of the SPVs is to carry out the bid process management and obtain various clearances/consents for the projects so that the same are transferred to the successful bidder along with the SPV, who is selected through the tariff based International Competitive Bidding (ICB) in accordance with the “Guidelines for determination of tariff by bidding process for procurement of power by distribution licensees”, issued by Ministry of Power, Govt of India, as amended from time to time
