The Ministry of Power, under the central government of India, has confirmed that charges for inter-state transmission of renewable energy have been waived off.<\/p>\n

The ministry had first proposed<\/a> to remove the inter-state transmission charges last year and had asked the state governments to work on the proposal. Several states had expressed their willingness to abolish a long list of charges currently levied on inter-state transmission. These include wheeling, cross-subsidy, banking, and other charges.<\/p>\n

The ministry has now announced<\/a> that such charges shall be waived-off for solar power projects commissioned by 30 June 2017 and for wind energy projects commissioned by 31 March 2019.<\/p>\n

Removal of these charges will directly impact the final cost of power at the consumers\u2019 end. Such a move will also make renewable energy-based power attractive to large industrial and commercial consumers looking for low-cost consistent power supply.<\/p>\n

Sources in the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy have been quoted as saying that these changes could bring in additional reduction of 10% in the solar power tariff bids which have hit a low of around US\u00a26.5\/kWh.<\/p>\n

The move is aimed at a more evenly distributed consumption of renewable energy across the country. Wind and solar energy resources in India are concentrated in certain regions; the removal of these charges shall enable project developers as well as state governments, with surplus renewable energy<\/a>, to sell electricity to other states that are unable to meet their respective renewable purchase obligation.<\/p>\n
