Region: India
Capacity: 1,935 MW across four sites
Scope: Multi-site inspection and market valuation
Date: December 2016
Report delivery: Three weeks from appointment
CESS was appointed by a private infrastructure group to inspect and value a portfolio of operating, mothballed and unused gas-fired generation assets across four Indian states. The equipment included aero-derivative LM6000 packages, GE Frame 6B units, Siemens V94.2 equipment and unused GE 9FA combined-cycle blocks.
Senior CESS personnel completed the four site inspections within seven days. The review covered configuration, operating hours, maintenance and OEM history, preservation, completeness, excluded balance of plant, known overhaul or repackaging requirements and practical relocation constraints.
The market analysis considered comparable transactions, current buyer requirements and the deductions a buyer would be likely to make for missing scope, inland movement and reinstatement. The report distinguished assets with an identifiable international resale market from legacy equipment for which decommissioning or another local strategy was more realistic.
Outcome: The final valuation was delivered three weeks after appointment. The client used the conclusions in subsequent asset-sale and decommissioning decisions.
