Madhya Pradesh Commission Introduces New Regulations For Renewable Energy Integration 2024
In 2024, the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (MPERC) introduced regulations governing grid interactive renewable energy systems. These rules cover net metering, group net metering, gross metering, and virtual net metering for consumers connecting renewable energy systems to the grid. Eligible consumers can install systems up to 500 kW capacity on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to transformer capacity. Prosumers or RESCOs must adhere to interconnection standards, operation, maintenance, and metering requirements. MPERC mandates timely meter readings and reserves the right to issue orders or relax provisions as needed to ensure fairness and grid integration of renewable energy in Madhya Pradesh.
Arunachal Pradesh Initiates New Guidelines For Renewable Energy Tariffs And Procurement
A recent declaration by the Arunachal State Electricity Regulatory Commission introduces new guidelines for renewable energy projects through the Arunachal Pradesh State Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Renewable Energy Tariff) Regulations, 2024. These regulations, effective upon publication, set tariffs for renewable energy sources for a three-year Control Period starting 2024-25. Annual generic tariffs are established for small hydro and biogas projects, ensuring stability for developers. Project-specific tariffs are considered for larger schemes like wind and solar, with procurement guidelines for distribution licensees. Late payment surcharges apply, and government incentives impact tariff assessments, fostering sustainable energy development.
APERC Introduces 2024 Regulations For Grid-Interactive Distributed Renewable Energy Systems With Net Metering
The Arunachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) has issued new regulations facilitating the adoption of Grid Interactive Distributed Renewable Energy Systems. Consumers in Arunachal Pradesh can now install grid-connected systems with various metering arrangements like net metering, group net metering, and virtual net metering. System capacities range from 1 kW to 1000 kW, aligned with technical standards. Safety and reliability are prioritized, with systems limited to 80% of transformer capacity. The APERC aims for 50 MW capacity under these systems, reviewed periodically. Prosumers can choose metering arrangements based on availability. Surplus energy is credited against consumption. Third-party ownership is allowed under gross metering with formal agreements.

Challenges in Chhattisgarh’s Renewable Energy Sector: Delays And Regulatory Obstacles For Solar Projects
In Chhattisgarh’s renewable energy sector, ABReL Green Energy Limited and Ultra Tech Cement Limited faced delays in a 93.5 MW solar PV project due to land acquisition challenges. ABReL sought exemptions from transmission charges, citing financial strain. However, CSPTCL and CSPDCL expressed concerns about extending benefits beyond deadlines. CREDA supported ABReL’s request, referencing past project extensions. The Commission acknowledged challenges but emphasized adherence to regulatory timelines and criteria for exemptions. This case underscores the complexity of renewable energy project development and the balance needed between regulatory compliance and flexibility in addressing obstacles.
Empowering Agriculture: Andhra Pradesh’s Solar Energy Revolution – Procuring 7,000 MW For Sustainable Power
Andhra Pradesh’s electricity sector is transitioning to solar power, aiming for 7,000 MW procurement in three phases to provide free daytime electricity to agriculture. The state government shoulders the procurement cost to relieve distribution companies and consumers from added expenses. Collaborations between power entities and the establishment of AP Rural Agriculture Power Supply Company ensure uninterrupted power distribution. This initiative aligns with national renewable energy targets and environmental goals, beginning implementation in 2024. By embracing solar energy, Andhra Pradesh secures a sustainable future, supports its agricultural sector, and becomes a frontrunner in clean energy initiatives, contributing to India’s energy strategy and international environmental commitments.
Navigating Energy Costs in Gujarat: Regulatory Decision on Additional ?1/kWh Surcharge for Open Access Consumers
The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission’s recent decision on additional surcharges for open-access consumers highlights ongoing debates on energy costs. After consultations and appeals dating back to 2014, the commission revised the surcharge calculation methodology in August 2022. GUVNL submitted certified data for April 2023 to September 2023, determining a ?1.00/kWh surcharge for April 2024 to September 2024. This applies to consumers procuring power through open access from sources other than DISCOMs. The decision reflects efforts to balance consumer, distributor, and regulatory interests in energy distribution.
Balancing Regulation And Equity: MERC’s Decision On Wheeling And Transmission Charges Dispute
In a recent decision by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), Persistent System Ltd. resolved a dispute with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL) regarding improperly levied wheeling and transmission charges and unutilized banked energy units from FY 2015-16 to FY 2022-23. The commission ruled that the claim for FY 2015-16 was barred by limitations, but directed reconciliation for subsequent years. This highlights the commission’s commitment to regulatory balance, emphasizing utility adherence to guidelines and timely legal action by parties. Such cases set precedents for fair energy market operations and consumer rights enforcement.Tamil Nadu News Regulations Push For Efficient Wind And Solar Energy Management
Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has introduced new regulations to streamline wind and solar energy forecasting, scheduling, and deviation settlement processes. The regulations mandate Qualified Coordinating Agencies (QCAs) to oversee accurate generation forecasting and scheduling. A robust Deviation Settlement Mechanism ensures accountability for deviations in scheduled versus actual generation, promoting grid stability. Technical aspects like data protocols and SCADA system integration enhance operational efficiency. These regulations reflect Tamil Nadu’s commitment to a greener energy future, fostering transparency and efficiency in renewable energy integration. |
