One-Sided Agreements for Fast Track Power Projects-Case of Spectrum s PPA

Power Projects Case of Spectrum's PPA THE Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board's (APSHB) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Spectrum Power Generation (SPGL) on July 13, 1994 illustrates the returns available to investors in the seven "last-track' power projects. Like the others, the contract has been negotiated not awarded though through any competitive process. And like them, the return on equity is assured; the investors include manufacturers of power plant equipment; there is no special incentive to minimise the cost.
