State-wise solar policies

State-wise solar policies. January 2022. Investors and Stakeholders of CleanMax Solar Power Solutions in UAE.

RE policy framework in India. The Electricity Act 2003 (EA 2003) provides for regulatory interventions for promotion of renewable energy (RE) sources through a) determination of tariff b) specifying renewable purchase obligation (RPO) c) facilitating grid connectivity d) promotion of development of market The National Tariff Policy (NTP) 2006 requires the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) to fix a minimum percentage of Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO)..

RE policy framework in India. In view of the aforesaid provisions, regulatory framework for renewable power is evolving and all major States, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), Central Electricity Authority (CEA), etc. are declaring, revising, and modifying renewable power regulatory framework on a regular basis. These include RE policy RPOs Feed in Tariffs ( FiTs ) Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism grid connectivity and forecasting provisions etc..

CleanMax helps you make informed decision. Such multiplicity of agency structure, frequently updating policies and regulatory framework creates confusion among existing/potential RE users. What is net metering? How does it help my project? Which state offers the highest benefits for setting up RE project? What is the minimum criteria for availing RE project benefits? Which authority approval is required for my RE project? As sustainability partners of corporates and other commercial users, we at CleanMax , have taken the onus to simplify this information and eliminate the confusion regarding state-wise policies for solar power..
