The developers, ACME Solar and AMPIN Energy, argued in separate petitions that they suffered financial losses due to their inability to transmit power from their solar projects due to delays in operationalising transmission infrastructure.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission(CERC)has actually confessed petitions submitted by 2 renewable resource designers looking for settlement for monetary losses sustained due to hold-ups in establishing transmission facilities, according to regulative filings.

The result might set a precedent for renewable resource designers dealing with transmission traffic jams, as India accelerates its tidy energy rollout.

In the filing published over the weekend, the CERC is taking a look at whether the Power Grid Corporation of India and the Central Transmission Utility of India, the organizations accountable for establishing transmission facilities, need to compensate designers for losses.

CERC has actually asked both to react within 6 weeks.

The designers, ACME Solar and AMPIN Energy, argued in different petitions that they suffered monetary losses due to their failure to transfer power from their solar jobs due to hold-ups in operationalising transmission facilities.

The Gurugram-based ACME Solar is looking for more than 21 crore in settlement, while AMPIN Energy did not define its losses.

CERC has actually directed the Central Transmission Utility and Power Grid to send information on the transmission system, commissioning timelines, and factors for the hold-ups.

The petitions are set up to be heard on November 27.

Power Grid and the Central Transmission Utility did not instantly react to Reuterse-mail looking for remarks.

India has actually been required to suppress solar output throughout durations of low need to keep grid stability and ease blockage, as renewable resource supply increases and transmission jobs lag.

Rajasthan, India’s leading green power-producing state, has actually seen almost 4 gigawatts of tidy energy reduced, with projected losses of approximately 250 crore ($28.16 million), according to the Rajasthan Solar Association.
