• Load <strong>for</strong>ecast is not an<br />

unbiased estimate of future<br />

load, but rather an<br />

aspirational statement<br />

• Capacity expansion plan<br />

reflects developmental<br />

aspirations, rather than<br />

least-cost solution given<br />

policy constraints<br />

• Rates reflect political<br />

necessities, rather than<br />

underlying costs<br />

• <strong>The</strong>re is an adjustment mechanism<br />

to pass through changes in fuel<br />

costs that EVN calculates, but this<br />

is not implemented.<br />

• Under a Prime Minister decision<br />

(24/2011QD-TTg) in April 2011, the<br />

average electricity price is<br />

supposed to be automatically<br />

adjusted each quarter.<br />

• If the increase is more than 5<br />

percent, then EVN must get<br />

approval from Ministry of Finance<br />

and Ministry of Industry and Trade<br />

• EVN since June 2011 has been<br />

allowed to increase prices by 5<br />

percent each quarter. But lately<br />

this has been 5 percent every six<br />

months.<br />

Imported Coal<br />

• Overall demand reaches 695 TWh in 2030<br />

(versus 442TWh in our projection)<br />

• Domestic coal levels out after 2020.<br />

• Wind makes a growing presence (50 percent<br />

higher than in TLG <strong>for</strong>ecast)<br />

• Hydro and pumped storage (similar to hydro<br />

in TLG <strong>for</strong>ecast)<br />

• Nuclear contributes 10 percent of generation<br />

by 2030 (whereas we have no nuclear in our<br />

projections)<br />

• Imported coal accounts <strong>for</strong> most of the<br />

baseload growth – a third of the generation in<br />

PDP (versus a sixth in our <strong>for</strong>ecast).<br />

• Competition from other types of generation<br />

and assumed LNG use results in lower<br />

demand <strong>for</strong> domestic <strong>gas</strong> (relative to the TLG<br />

<strong>for</strong>ecast).<br />

• Demand <strong>for</strong> piped <strong>gas</strong> peaks at 1,800<br />

bbtud and then declines as it is displaced<br />

by other fuel sources<br />

• This lowers NamConSon2 pipeline to<br />

between 300 mmcfd to a low of 50<br />

mmcfd and would undermine the<br />

economics of the pipeline (whereas the<br />

TLG <strong>for</strong>ecast supports development)<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lantau</strong> <strong>Group</strong>


We see three fundamental flaws in the PDP<br />

• <strong>The</strong> load growth <strong>for</strong>ecast is wildly optimistic<br />

• Capacity expansion plan (at least implicitly) uses LNG to meet incremental load<br />

growth – but LNG is not economic relative to alternative resources (and also<br />

assumes nuclear development starting in 2020)<br />

• Ability to pass on LNG costs to consumers appears dubious – and certainly does<br />

not justify use of LNG <strong>for</strong> baseload power<br />

• Hydro (including imported hydro) expands to<br />

2020 then the rate of growth declines.<br />

• Domestic <strong>gas</strong> shows relatively good growth<br />

but some committed southern coal plants<br />

hamper <strong>gas</strong> sales through to 2020<br />

• Beyond 2020 we let the economics of the<br />

simulation take over; <strong>gas</strong> competes with coal<br />

in the south, but in the north the sheer level of<br />

power demand requires substantial coal build<br />

– <strong>there</strong> is limited supply of <strong>gas</strong> in the north.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lantau</strong> <strong>Group</strong>


Conclusions<br />

• Power Development Plan VII appears wildly optimistic<br />

– Load <strong>for</strong>ecast – even the low case! – is simply not credible<br />

– Capacity expansion plan appears to <strong>for</strong>ce development of resources – particularly baseload CCGTs<br />

burning LNG – that are not economic relative to alternatives<br />

– Rationale to use LNG appears to rest on a price-discrimination scheme that may enable PVN to cover<br />

the cost of LNG, but hardly justifies its use <strong>for</strong> baseload power<br />

• Realistic capacity expansion makes full use of domestic <strong>gas</strong> and pushes off need<br />

<strong>for</strong> LNG – at least <strong>for</strong> baseload power – until about 2027<br />

• Competition between baseload <strong>gas</strong> and coal will set “ceiling prices” <strong>for</strong> upstream<br />

domestic <strong>offshore</strong> <strong>gas</strong>:<br />

– Against Chinese coal technology, ceiling prices would be in the range of USD 6.15-6.40/mmbtu<br />

– Against advanced coal technology, ceiling prices rise to USD 7.85-8.10/mmbtu<br />

– If carbon is valued explicitly, breakeven prices rise USD 0.74/mmbtu <strong>for</strong> every USD 10/tonne increase<br />

in the carbon price<br />

– Without a carbon value, CCGTs burning LNG would only be economic as peaking units; moreover, <strong>for</strong><br />

any <strong>for</strong>eseeable carbon value, they would not be economic as baseload units.<br />
