(*) Actually obtained in respect of M/s BPL Power Project in AP. (**) Actually obtained in respect of 5 gas based projects (i) M/s BSES Andhra Power Limited (ii) M/s Vemagiri Power Generation Ltd (iii) M/s Konaseema EPS Oakwell Ltd (iv) M/s Gautami Power Project Ltd (v) M/s GVK Industries Ltd.

(CI A – CI N ) 100 Where CI A = Average of daily capacity indexes over one year (CERC notification dated CI N = Normative capacity Index = 85%. Daily Capacity Index = Declared capacity in MW Maximum available capacity in MW x 100 Declared capacity : capacity available from the plant over peaking hrs in a day shall not be less than 3 hrs in any day. Slide 13

Advantages: i) Incentive not related to capital cost. ii) Incentive relates to peak time generation as well as capacity index. iii) There will be higher incentive for storage / pondage type of Hydro stations compared to run of the river schemes. iv) Incentive does not decrease for older plants.
