Tamil Nadu power regulator seeks comments on solar power policy

The Tamil Nadu state energy Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has invited comments and suggestions from stakeholders on its consultative paper on issues related to the government’s solar energy policy.

The Tamil Nadu Energy Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has called for the comments/suggestions by Dec 28 on issues like solar purchase obligation, net metering, renewable energy certificate (REC) for solar power generators, banking of solar power, transmission and wheeling charges, cross subsidy surcharge, reactive power charges, adjustment of generated power for captive use and others.

According to TNERC, the consultative paper is necessitated as the state government has come out with Tamil Nadu Solar Energy Policy 2012 and also directed it to take necessary action on it under Section 108 of Electricity Act 2003.
