Adani Power Limited (A): Renegotiationg Long-Term Electricity Contracts

Abstract

Adani Power Limited (B) is the second case in a series of cases on the attempts by the firm to wriggle out of the negative consequences of the long-term fixed price power purchase agreements it had entered into. Changes in Indonesian regulations for coal exported from Indonesia created serious financial problems for the firm. This case describes how the firm was able to get relief from the regulator and raises public policy issues including the robustness of guidelines for procurement of power and the regulatory framework.
