The renewable energy generated by these plants is bought by the energy distribution companies in a preferred level tariff.
Only 3 MW of photovoltaic solar plants have been installed so far under the PM-Kusum scheme far behind the 424 MW sanctioned by the New and Renewable Ministry of Energy of the Union.
This is according to the registered notes of the discussions of a hero of the meeting by the Electricity and Regulation Commission of Tamil Nadu (TNERC) last month, with respect to the state of the current generation projects and nearby in Tamil Nadu.
In February, Tnerc rejected Tamil’s supplica Nadu Green Energy Corporation Ltd. (Tngecl) that seeks the wink to energy purchases under the component of the PM-Kusum A.
Under the component of the PM-Kusum A scheme, farmers can establish a decentralized grid of earth/mosquitoes with connected solar energy or other electric power plants based on renewable energy in their land.
The renewable energy generated by these plants is bought by the energy distribution companies in a preferred level tariff. The company is eligible to obtain an incentive based on performance or ₹ 0.40 per unit or ₹ 6.6 Lakh per MW of installed capacity, which is less, for five years from the date of commercial operation.
Tnerc had said that Tngecl floated the tender without a higher ceiling rate, and contrary to its previous order and the guidelines of the New and Renewable Ministry of Energy (MNRE) of the Union.
The TNGECL will issue a reviewed tender, attached to MNRE guidelines and commission instructions to guarantee competitive tariffs and better participation, he said.
The TNGECL made a tender on February 14, 2024, without a higher roof and looked for a wink to hold a long -term energy purchase agreement for 25 years with four farmers for a total capacity of 5 MW distribution companies.
Despite the 420 MW approach, the tender received a bad response with only four bidders for 5 MW, said the Tnerc.
