Jaipur: Ending prolifiable uncertainty over the fate of the roof solar projects, the Rajasthan Electric Regulatory Commission (RERC) in the order on Tuesday increases net measurement load capacity of up to 500 kiloxwatt (kW) from the previous 10kW provisions.
In the order of he said, “Clean measurement settings must apply to load up to 500 kW or up to the approved load, which is lower, for all consumer categories.
However, the Commission can take a further view of other problems submitted by discounts in their response in their response on The next stage by following the legal procedure.
“Toi on Tuesday reported that several countries such as Haryana and Punjab have attended the amendment to the Ministry of Union and increased the load to 500kw.
In fact, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand also raised the ceiling to 500kw.
The solar industry in the state has a rule rules that protest hard which limits the benefits of net measurements of up to 10KW.
They argue that without clean metering benefits, the roof project above 10KW will not be feasible.
RERC CMD Subodh Agarwal said, “Orders will help the roof segment get momentum and contribute to our efforts to increase the position of Rajasthan as a solar center in this country.
It will also complete our policy encouragement and help achieve the budget announcement made by the minister’s chairman.” While The industry welcomed the decision, he also said that additional additional costs on the Resco project (renewable energy service company, which invested and established plants at customer locations and charges of charge for units) have not been released in the current order.
Rajasthan Solar Association President Sunil Bansal said, “The order will really revive the industry.
But we want to cross subsidies and additional costs to go.
If not, service providers will not find a well-feasible and invested project.” Under metering Clean, consumers use a cheaper solar power of the roof than expensive discom power.
According to the old rules, the project above 10KW was asked to be under the billing or gross measurement which requires them to pay the normal electricity level to cancel even though they use the roof power from the roof plant.
In return, discounts must pay for roof projects owners under gross measurements at the level found through auction along with 25% incentives which are estimated to be much lower than the discom level around Rs 8 per unit.
