UPERC Proposes RE Tariff
The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) in its latest notification on 5th November 2014 has proposed draft for Renewable Energy Tariff. The Commission has invited comments and suggestions by 21st November 2014.
The details of the tariffs proposed are as below:
Uttar Pradesh has been in seeing very slow growth in RE generation. In case of solar, the tariff proposed by commission, is close to 15 % higher than the tariff finalized by CERC for FY 14-15. It can inferred that the higher tariff has been proposed to encourage the solar generation in the state.
