KERC Proposes Tariff for Renewable Energy
The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) in its latest notification has released the conductive paper (draft) for determination of RE tariff. The tariff proposed will be applicable to the projects commissioned during 01.01.2015 to 31.03.2018.
The draft released is not applicable for Wind, Solar and Biomass projects (with air-cooled condensers), as their tariffs have been defined earlier.
From the various costs proposed in the draft, it can be expected that the final tariff for Small Hydro, Bagasse based co-gen & biomass projects might come close to tariff defined by CERC for RE sources.
The commission has invited the comments and suggestion on the draft latest by 20th November 2014.
The draft notification can be found here.
