OPG EXPECTS COAL PRICES TO REMAIN FIRM IN THE SHORT TERM


COALspot.com - Revenue of OPG, the developer and operator of Group Captive power plants in India up 188% to £33.15m and Income from continuing operations (before tax, non operational / exceptional items) up by 66% to £ 13.01m from £7.83m in 2010 for the year ended 31 March 2011, according to the statement posted on the company's web site.

"OPG made significant progress in the year, with the successful commissioning of the 77 MW Chennai I facility and substantial advancement of the development pipeline that is set to deliver in excess of 742 MW by 2013, for which we are fully funded, and a total 1250 MW of capacity by 2015", said M.C.Gupta, Chairman of OPG.

OPG is a Group Captive producer of thermal power with a current operating capacity of 107 MW. A further 537 MW is under construction or development with all of this capacity scheduled to come on-stream during 2012 and 2013. Another 600 MW is in the pipeline, giving a projected total capacity of 1250 MW by 2015, a greater than tenfold increase from the current position.

"The year ended 31 March 2011 was a landmark year for OPG, with the successful commissioning of the Group's first major project of 77 MW", Chief Executive's statement posted on web site.

Indian power market remains in deficit
According to OPG, despite volatility elsewhere in the global economy, India's GDP is expected to continue to grow at around 8% in the coming years, resulting in annual power demand growth of 10%. India's total planned capacity additions as at 31 March 2011 were only 52% of the targeted 78,000 MW and there remains an expected shortfall of 30-35% versus the target by March 2012. This trend points towards continuing and increasing power production deficits which currently run at about 10%.

OPG maintains flexibility in its procurement of coal
OPG is planning to secure its fuel supplies from domestic as well as from overseas. 70% of OPG's projects under development have committed supplies of Indian coal, with the remaining 30% utilizing imported coal. This balance of supply has enabled OPG to establish close working relationships with both domestic and imported coal suppliers, thereby mitigating the threat of coal not being available from any one source, company said in its website.

With coal in relatively short supply, the Indian power sector has unsurprisingly experienced upward price pressure for this key input to the power business. Most Indian power producers, unlike OPG, are reliant on obtaining coal either from the development of coal blocks or entirely on imported coal.

OPG expects the coal prices to remain firm in the short term given the current economic growth rates in Asia, although prices should eventually stabilize in the medium term as coal supplies and demand fall more into line.
