1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 BACKGROUND
Power and energy forms the most integral part of the economic development of a country. However, the
growing demand-supply gap in the power sector of Bangladesh is the largest impediment to our growth.
Regular load shedding has become a common phenomenon for Bangladesh. Energy crisis is causing an annual
loss of GDP of around 2%.
In an attempt to control the reeling power crisis, the government has undertaken various initiatives to boost
power generation, namely by commissioning a number of new power plants, exploring alterative fuel sources
to reduce dependency on natural gas as the main fuel source, diverting gas from fertilizer factories to power
plants etc. Power crisis causes production loss of approximately USD 1.33B to export oriented industries every
year.
In this connection, the Power Cell of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources and Bangladesh
Power Development Board (BPDB) initiated two separate bidding processes for the two power plant projects at
Bibiyana, Sylhet, having capacity of 341MW each. A total of seven bidders participated for the Bibiyana I power
plant, and four bidders participated for the Bibiyana II power plant. Subsequently, two Letters of Intent (LOI)
were issued on November 14, 2010 by the Power Cell of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resource
(MPEMR), and on November 22, 2010 by Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), for the power plant
projects of Summit Bibiyana I Power Company Limited (SBPCL I) and Summit Bibiyana II Power Company
Limited (SBPCL II) respectively. The two companies were incorporated as joint-ventures of Summit Industrial
and Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Limited and GE Energy LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric
Company.
The two companies will be responsible for building, owning, commissioning, operating, insuring and
maintaining the facilities till the end of the agreement term.
The two power plant projects, with a total capacity of 682MW, are perceived as a timely and much-awaited
initiative in response to the reeling power crisis situation of the country. Summit, the major sponsor of the
project, is the undisputed leader in private sector power generation in the country. Moreover, GE Energy LLC,
another sponsor to the projects and the major equipment supplier, is one of the leading conglomerates in the
world, with extensive experience of establishing a large number of power plants worldwide. The present
generation capacity of Summit is around 600MW with another 1,200 MW power plant projects in the pipeline.
On the other hand, GE has project experience of over 65,000 MW related to power plant project
implementation worldwide.
Considering the nature and scale of the two projects, a number of local and international parties have been
engaged to carry out studies on various aspects of the two projects. Moreover, the large financing requirement
has made it necessary to involve multilateral financing institutions like International Finance Corporation (IFC),
Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Islamic Development Bank (IDB); institutions specialized in infrastructure
financing, such as IDCOL; and specialized fund like Investment Promotion and Financing Facility (IPFF) etc.

1.2 TRANSACTION RATIONALE


With the success in various important sectors of the economy, Summit has been continually expanding its
business particularly in the development of infrastructural facilities of the country. Responding to the ever

IDLC Finance Limited | Confidential 10


growing mismatch in the electricity demand-supply scenario of the country, as well as extensive initiatives
being undertaken for development of this sector, Summit has been keen on establishing a number of power
plants under different concerns of the group, while planning to invest even more in this sector in the years to
come.
Accordingly, Summit has partnered with GE Energy LLC to participate in the bidding process to establish two
341MW power plants at Bibiyana, Sylhet. The extensive global experience of GE, along with the local expertise
of Summit, will compliment each other to ensure successful implementation of this project.

4. MARKET ASPECT

4.1 BACKGROUND
Power and energy forms the most integral part in the economic development of a country. However, the
reeling power crisis situation in Bangladesh is the largest impediment to our growth. At present, only 47% of
the total population in Bangladesh has access to electricity, while per capita generation is only 182 kWh –
which is one of the lowest in the world. It is estimated that the power crisis results in a GDP loss of around 2%
each year.
The following table summarizes the contribution of electricity to our overall GDP, and the historical growth rate
in the power sector of Bangladesh:

Particulars 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09

(%)

Growth rate of
7.29 9.19 8.58 7.45 1.08 6.68 3.64
Electricity (%)

4.2 DEMAND-SUPPLY SCENARIO


The estimated demand as of April 2011 is 6,765MW, against an average generation capacity of 4,094MW (as of
March 2011). The following table summarizes key power sector statistics, as of March 2011, in terms of
demand and supply:

Particulars Quantity in MW

Total Installed Capacity 6,760

BPDB 3,974

IPP 1,330

SIPP and Rental 1,230

REB 226

Present Generation Capacity 6,202

The following chart shows the maximum generation capacity over the years (as of March 2011):

The following chart provides a break-down of the generation capacity between public and private sector, based
on the total generation capacity of 5,376MW as of May 2010:

4.3 MAJOR IMPEDIMENTS IN THE POWER SECTOR


The increasing gap between electricity demand and supply can be attributed to a number of reasons:
 Around 89% of the country’s total power generation is gas-based, and hence acute shortage of natural gas
is escalating the power crisis scenario. It is estimated that gas supply shortfall is hindering addition of
around 800MW of power to the national grid.
 Not until recently initiatives were undertaken to explore alternative fuel sources such as coal and
renewable energy sources
 High system loss due to inefficient transmission and distribution system of the state-owned companies. A
reduction of 1% system loss can save around 45MW of power, which can at least reduce the frequency of
black-outs. However, the situation is now gradually improving.
 Many of the country’s power plants are very old and hence operational inefficiency is a regular
phenomenon.
 Significant electricity requirement for irrigation, which is expected to reach around 1,400MW in 2011

IDLC Finance Limited | Confidential 24


 Increasing demand for power resulting from rapid industrialization, as well as emerging new avenues

4.4 TYPES OF FUEL UTILIZED


In Bangladesh, the power sector has until now been mainly dependent on natural gas. This is evident from the
fact that 89% of the country’s total power generation plants used natural gas as their main source of fuel.
However, considering the depleting stock of natural gas, government and private sectors are now taking
initiatives to diversify the source of fuel by utilizing alternative fuel sources such as furnace oil, coal etc., as
well as exploring renewable energy sources.
The following table and the corresponding chart provide an idea about the fuel sources currently under
utilization (as on April 2011) for power generation in Bangladesh:

Fuel Capacity (in MW) % of Total

Coal 250.00 3.60%

Furnace Oil 170.00 2.45%

Gas 5,248.00 75.59%

HFO 275.00 3.96%

HSD 769.50 11.08%

Hydro 230.00 3.31%

Total 6,942.50 100.00%

Breakdown of Installed Capacity as per fuel types

4.5 POWER SECTOR REFORM INITIATIVES


Realizing the need to boost up power generation in Bangladesh, the government has given its highest priority
to the power sector to ensure electricity for all by 2021. In this regard, it has undertaken a number of measures
to gradually decrease the gap between power demand and supply:

IDLC Finance Limited | Confidential 25


 Commissioning a large number of power plants

 Exploring alternative fuel sources like liquid fuel (HFO), coal, nuclear facilities and renewable energy
sources
o Until recently, 89% of the country’s power generation was dependent on natural gas.
However, this ratio has now changed to around 76% this year, with increasing exploration and
utilization of alternative fuel sources
o Planning to generate one-third of the country’s total power by utilizing coal as the primary
fuel
 Diverting gas from fertilizer factories to power plants during irrigation season, considering over 1,400MW of
power requirement for irrigation this year
o Five major fertilizer factories will be shut down to divert around 250 Million cubic feet of gas
per day to power plants
 Development of transmission and distribution capacity to supply power generated in upcoming power
plants, as well as cross-border power import

5. THE PROJECT

5.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT


Summit Bibiyana I Power Company Limited (SBPCL I) and Summit Bibiyana II Power Company Limited (SBPCL II)
were incorporated in Bangladesh on December 09, 2010 and December 21, 2010 respectively, as a joint-
venture of Summit Industrial and Mercantile Corporation (Pvt.) Limited and GE Energy LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of General Electric Company.
SBPCL I was awarded the contract out of a total of seven bidders in an internationally competitive bidding
process initiated by the Power Cell of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources. On the other hand,
SBPCL II participated in a bidding process initiated by Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and won
the project out of a total of four bidders. The Letters of Intent (LOI) were issued by the Power Cell of the
Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR) in case of SBPCL I, and by Bangladesh Power
Development Board (BPDB) in case of SBPCL II, on November 14, 2010 and November 22, 2010 respectively.
The two companies will be responsible for building, owning, commissioning, operating, insuring and
maintaining the facilities till the end of the agreement term.
The power plants, located at Bibiyana Sylhet, will have generation capacity of 341MW each. They will be
developed on a build, own and operate (BOO) basis.
Accordingly, the companies are in the process of signing the relevant documents, namely Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA), Gas Supply Agreement (GSA), Implementation Agreement (IA) and Land Lease Agreement
(LLA) with the respective authorities. The signing of the agreements is expected to be completed by April 30,
2011.
Considering the nature of the industry, these power projects do not face ‘demand risk’ since they are paid
‘availability’ based capacity payments and the capacity payments are sufficient to meet the debt service
obligations of the Borrowers.

5.2 RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT


With the success of Summit’s venture in various important sectors of the economy, the group has been
continually expanding its business in different areas with a view to develop the infrastructural facilities of the
country. Responding to the ever growing mismatch in the electricity demand-supply scenario of the country,
as well as extensive initiatives being undertaken for development of this sector, Summit has been keen on
establishing a number of power plants under different concerns of the group, while planning to invest even
more in this sector in the years to come.
Accordingly, Summit has partnered with GE Energy LLC to participate in the bidding process to establish two
341MW power plants at Bibiyana, Sylhet. The extensive global experience of GE, along with the local expertise
of Summit, will compliment each other to ensure successful implementation of this project.

 The two power plants will generate a total of 682MW of electricity, making it one of the largest power
generation projects of the country. Considering the increasing gap between electricity demand and supply,
continued operation of both the power plants is highly desirable by all parties. Moreover, change in the
political scenario in the previous years has not caused any major disruption of any operational power plants
in the country.
 Multilateral agencies such as IFC, ADB etc, will be acting as co-lenders in this project. As such, any negative
political interference is highly unlikely considering the importance of maintaining a good rapport with such
agencies by different stakeholders in the country.

heat rates etc.
 Summit has extensive experience in managing similar projects, gained through implementation and
operation of a number of power plants in different locations of Bangladesh. The total generation capacity of
Summit is now around 508 MW with another 1,200 MW power plant projects in the pipeline.
 In addition, GE is widely experienced in co-development and ownership of large infrastructure projects
throughout the world, especially in the power sector. It has co-developed over 70 (seventy) power and 5
(five) water projects, in addition to having co-ownership of over 26,000 MW and 100 MIGD plants globally.
 The project agreements have provisions of liquidated damages in case of failure by any government related
agencies disrupting project operations.

9.4 RAW MATERIAL RISK
 The Gas Supply Agreement will ensure that the required amount of gas, conforming to the specifications,
will be at all times to the project companies for running their operations.
 Any deviation from the terms and conditions in the Gas Supply Agreement will entitle the project
companies for compensation. In addition, the price of the raw material will be a pass-through component
thus mitigating any risk due to price escalation of the raw material.
