SUKI KINARI HYDROPOWER PROJECT
FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORTChapter 13 Financial Analysis
According to Pakistan power generation policy 2002 and IPPs tariff guideline,
the tariff structure in Pakistan is as below:
56. Bidders will be asked to quote their tariff in two parts: (1) Energy Purchase
Price (EPP) and (2) Capacity Purchase Price (CPP).
57. The RFP may specify a maximum percentage of the overall tariff for the
capacity component. The CPP in case of hydel projects, which traditionally have a
relatively low EPP, will be approximately 60% to 66% and the EPP will be
approximately 40% to 34% of the levelized tariff.
59. The CPP will be paid provided the plant is available for despatch to
standards defined in the PPA. The EPP will be paid based upon the amount of
kWh of energy despatched.
60. In order to ensure sustained interest of the Sponsor during the entire life of
the project, the sum of EPP and non-debt related CPP (computed on a kWh basis
at the reference plant factor specified in the RFP) will remain constant or increase
over time. The debt-related CPP stream may match the loan repayment stream.
If the power output meets the standard of power purchase agreement, it will pay
capacity price; electricity price will be based on the distributed kilowatt hours. At
the same time, it clearly stipulatesthat: in order to ensure the interests of
investors during the life of project, the sum of energy price and capacity price
(capacity priceis calculated on the kilowatt hour basis in the plant utilization rate
specified in the tender document,) will remain unchanged or increasewith time.
And debt related capacity price process shall match with the loan
repaymentprocess.

In Pakistan's electricity system, the capacity price and energy price are
decomposed into several components (see Table 13.2-1) to review and
determine the rationality of electricityprice and price adjustment formula. It is
defined in the EPC tariff determination letter that the capacity price is composed
of fixed O&M cost, insurance, debt serving cost, return on capital and return on
capital in construction period, with the unit of RS/kW/month; energy price is
composed of variable O&M cost and water resources fee, with the unit of
RS/kwh. It can be seen from the EPC tariff determination letterthat energy price
is only the operation cost for paying the new power, and capacity price
undertakesthe fixed O&M cost, insurance, debt serving cost, return on capital
and return on capital in construction period,therefore, if the power supply
capacity required by the agreement can be reached is crucial to the project's
financial income.
The financial evaluation is based on the EPC tariff determination letter on March
28, 2014 and the basic hypothesis of bank negotiation. It carries on the appraisal

to the project from the financial perspective. The basic hypothesis of the financial
evaluation and EPC approved price is shown in the table below.

13.4Financial evaluation
13.4.1 Scheduling
The construction investment of the project is 1.45518 billion USD (not covering
power transmission); and the cost within the EPC contract is 1314.30 million
USD.
According to the negotiation with the bank, the proportion of debt capital
and capital is 75:25. In the debt capital, the EPC insurance premium and
insurance premium of overseas investment are financed in 85%, and loan
interest beyond the debt capital is paid by capital. The loan interest rate is the
sum of LIBOR and margin after interest adjustment, here, the average value 2.4%
of 6 month LIBOR of 15 years is used as the LIBOR after interest adjustment.

SUKI KINARI HYDROPOWER PROJECT
FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORTChapter 13 Financial Analysis
According to the banks, the margin istaken as 4.1%, and loan interest rate is
6.5%. It is estimated that the interest during construction is308.04 million USD
and debt capital is 1.47177 billion USD.
The financing cost includes management overhead and commitment fee, which
accounts for 1% and 0.5% of the loan respectively. Thus the management
overhead is 14.72 million USD, and the commitment fee is 36.97 million USD,
which make the total financing cost at 51.69 million USD.
According to the "EPC tariff determination letter", the EPC approved price does
not include the overseas insurance premiums, but according to the Pakistan
price policy, the tariff can be adjusted at COD stage according to the actual
insurance premium. Overseas insurance premium is considered in this
calculation, the overseas insurance premium takes the sum of principal and
interest of the loan in construction period and loan interest in operation period as
basis, the premium rate is 7% which is one-time payment in the first year of
operation period. The overseas investment insurance premium during
construction is 146.04 million USD.
The working capital is calculated to be 1.63 USD/kW times the installed capacity
of the station, i.e. 1.42 million USD. It is considered that all the working capital is
accounted as capital.
After accounting interest during construction and financing cost, the total
investment of SukiKinari Hydropower Project is 1.96236 billion USD (including
working capital), as detailed in Table 13.4-2.

currency and local currency is 45% to 55%. In variable operation cost, the ratio
between foreign currency and local currency is 20% to 80%.
According to the EPC Tariff Determination Letter, the insurance premium during
project operation is taken as 1.35% of EPC investment, i.e. 17.74 million USD
per year.
According to Pakistan power generation policy 2002, the water usage cost is
charged at the rate of 0.15 Rs/kWh (i.e. 0.00154 USD/kWh). Thus the water
usage cost is calculated to be 4.68 million USD per year.
The energy sold is calculated as the available energy minus station service
power consumption. Now the plant factor is taken as 0.99; the plant service
power is assumed to account for 0.4% of total energy production.
(2) Tax
(1) Exempt from sales tax for facilities, machinery and equipment for power
generation.
(2) Exempt from income tax, including business tax and withholding tax on
imported products.

FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORTChapter 13 Financial Analysis
The only tax that is not exempted is shareholder dividend tax, because the
dividend amount is uncertain, the government of Pakistan stipulates that 7.5%
capital gains are taken in advance as the withholding tax, but the dividend
withholding tax is used as "transfer payment" to amortize into the capacity price,
and return to the power producers by the purchaser in 12 months.
(3) Profit
According to the EPC Tariff Determination Letter, the EPC price approved by the
government of Pakistan is 8.8145 US¢/kWh. According to power policy in
Pakistan, the price could be adjusted in the light of the actual investment
happening during COD. In this calculation, the price approved EPC electricity
price is used. According to above mentioned investment estimate and the total
cost estimate, the financial indices, and tariff during and after loan payment are
calculated. It’s calculated, in case dividend withholding tax is not considered, the
tariff in loan payment period is 10.3697US ¢ /kWh, after loan payment is
4.7595US¢/kWh, and the levelized tariff during operation is 8.8145US¢/kWh;
in case the dividend withholding tax is considered, the tariff in loan payment
period is10.5921US¢/kWh, after loan payment is 5.0019US¢/kWh, and the
levelized tariff during operation is 9.00424US¢/kWh. The analysis of power tariff
of SukiKinari HPP is shown in Table 13.4-3.

Profits and profits distribution are shown in Annexed Table 3. It can be seen from
the table that after the station is put into operation, the total annual net profits in
the loan repayment period is between 186.7 million USD and 1000.73 million
USD, and the total annual net profits after the loan repayment period is 24.61
million USD.
③Financial net present value of project cost is 104.71 million USD (Ic=10%).
Project investment and capital cash flow are shown in annexed Table 1 and
Table 2.

The funds for loan repayment include profits before tax of the year, balance of
undistributed profit of the previous year, and depreciation. In the loan repayment
period, it shall firstly repay the loan, and then consider dividends according to
the repayment conditions. In the beginning of operation with heavy loan
repayment pressure, dividend shall be moderately given to guarantee that there
is always undistributed profit carried forward to next year as the source of
repayment funds.
For the project, 75% of the total investment is bank loan, 25% of the total
investment is equity, with annual interest rate of 6.5%. The loan repayment
period is 18 years (accounting from the date of the first loan), including 6 years
of grace period and 12 years of repayment period. The loan will be repaid once
half a year on the basis of equal principal plus interest. During the loan
repayment period, the interest coverage ratio (ICR) is 2.15 – 24.37; the debt
service coverage ratio (DSCR) is 1.50. The project is highly solvent.
The debt service calculation results are shown in Annexed Table 6 Loan
repayment schedule.
The asset-liability ratio of the project during construction is 75%. As the project
puts into operation, repayment plan will be implemented year by year, and the
asset-liability ratio will decrease gradually in the range of 70.1%-0%. Therefore,
the project is highly solvent.
It is shown from the cash flow statement that there is sufficient net cash flow
each year for operating activities of the project which can ensure normal
operation of the power station; since the net cash flow of each year’s operating
activities, investment activities and financing activities is positive, it indicates that
the cash flow of each year is in good state.
In the operation period of the project, the accumulated surplus funds of all years
are positive, it indicates that the project does not need to repay loans by
short-term borrowings, its financial conditions have sustainability, and the

According to the power policy in Pakistan, the tariff consists of two components,
i.e. capacity price component and energy price component; and the capacity
price component could account for as much as over 90% of the benchmark tariff.
As long as the station reaches the output provided in the PPA, the capacity price
will be paid. This means the energy generation of the station has a minimum
impact on the tariff. As a result, the change of energy generation is not
considered in this sensitivity analysis.

FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORTChapter 13 Financial Analysis
It is shown from Table 13.5-1that the financial index varies with the change of
sensitivity factors. The FIRR of total investment varies between 9.98% and
12.23%; the FIRR of equity varies between 10.20% and 15.33%. The FIRR is
basically higher than 10%, meaning that the project is financially resistant to
risks.
13.6Conclusion
With the purchase tariff of the project in EPC mode being approved by NEPRA,
the project has good financial indices and is financially resistant to risks. Besides,
completion of the project could also alleviate the power shortage in Pakistan. We
suggest the project be commenced at the earliest possible time.
