The Meaning of Sufficiency Economy <br />
International Conference<br />
Normative O&M expenses for the first year of the Control period (i.e. FY<br />
2009-10) are Rs. 20.25 Lakh per MW. Normative O&M expenses allowed at the<br />
commencement of the Control Period (i.e. FY 2009-10) is escalated at the rate of<br />
5.72% per annum.<br />
Fuel Mix: The biomass power plant is assumed to be designed in such a way<br />
that it uses different types of non-fossil fuels available within the vicinity of biomass<br />
power project such as crop residues, agro-industrial residues, forest residues etc. and<br />
other biomass fuels. The Biomass Power Generating Companies is simulated to<br />
ensure that the fuel management plan ensures adequate availability of fuel to meet<br />
the respective project capacity requirements.<br />
Biomass fuel price during first year of the Control Period (i.e. FY 2009-10) is<br />
presented in the Table VI below. Alternatively, for each subsequent year of the Tariff<br />
Period, the normative escalation factor of 5% per annum is taken into account.<br />

For Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power, the simulations are applicable for grid<br />
connected PV systems that directly convert solar energy into electricity and are<br />
based on the technologies such as crystalline silicon or thin film etc. as approved by<br />
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Govt. of India.<br />
The normative capital cost for setting up Solar Photovoltaic Power Project is<br />
Rs. 1700Lakh/MW for FY 2009-10. The Capacity utilisation factor for Solar PV<br />
project is nineteen to twenty percent. The O&M Expenses are Rs.9 Lakhs/MW for<br />
the 1st year of operation. Normative O&M expenses allowed at the commencement<br />
of the Control Period to be escalated at the rate of 5.72% per annum.
