The capital cost for wind energy project includes Wind turbine generator<br />
including its auxiliaries, land cost, site development charges and other civil works,<br />
transportation charges, evacuation cost up to inter-connection point, financing<br />
charges and IDC. The capital cost for wind energy projects is Rs. 515 Lakhs/MW for<br />
FY 2009-10. <br />
Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) norms for this control period shall be as<br />
follows<br />
Table V: CUF in relation to Wind Power Density<br />
Annual Mean Wind Power Density (W/m2)<br />
CUF<br />
200-250 20%<br />
250-300 23%<br />
300-400 27%<br />
> 400 30%<br />
<br />
The annual mean wind power density is considered to be measured at 50 meter<br />
height. For the purpose of classification of wind energy project into particular wind<br />
zone class, the State-wise wind power density map (Wind Density Map of India in<br />
Figure XX) present in the report of DOT, 2008 is considered.<br />
Normative Operations and Maintenance (O&M) expenses for the first year of<br />
the Control Period (i.e. FY 2009-10) are Rs 6.50 Lakh per MW. Normative O&M<br />
expenses are escalated at the rate of 5.72% per annum over the tariff period. <br />
The norms for tariff determination specified hereunder are for biomass power<br />
projects based on Rankine cycle technology application using water cooled<br />
condenser. <br />
The normative capital cost for the biomass power projects is Rs.450Lakh/MW<br />
(FY 2009-10 during first year of Control Period).<br />
Threshold Plant Load Factor is as under:<br />
1. During Stabilisation: 60%<br />
2. During the remaining period of the first year (after stabilization): 70%<br />
3. From 2nd Year onwards: 80 %<br />
The stabilisation period is considered as 6 months (which is maximum limit<br />
allowed) from the date of commissioning of the project.
