Tripura Draft Amendment in RPO Regulation

Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission (TERC) on 18th July 2014 has notified a draft for the amendment in its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) compliance Regulation 2010. In this amendment, TERC has proposed RPO percentages for the next three years (i.e. till FY 16-17).

It is clearly visible that the TERC in the proposed draft has reduced its total the RPO percentage for 2014-15, as compared to 2013-14, but has increased the percentage of Solar RPO significantly. The decrease in the total RPO may be adjudged to the lack in Renewable Energy generation in the state and the increased solar RPO percentage shows that the state commission is setting an ideology to improve the solar energy generation in the state.

The proposed draft can be accessed here.
