Paving the Way for Green Energy Tariff Regulation
In a pioneering move, the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) introduces a draft discussion paper for Chandigarh, outlining a comprehensive plan to regulate charges and establish a green energy tariff.
Transparent Tariff Determination Process
Seeking public input, the JERC considers vital components such as the average pooled power purchase cost of renewable energy, cross-subsidy charges, and service charges. The unveiled tariff amounts to Rs 6.75/kWh, offering transparency in pricing.
Consumer Flexibility: Incremental Green Energy Charges
Consumers opting for green energy have the option to incur incremental charges of Rs 1.65/kWh. This strategic move ensures a balance between consumer choices and sustainable energy adoption.
Accountability Measures: Revenue Management and Reporting
Distribution licensees are mandated to maintain separate accounts for green energy categories, ensuring accountability. The revenue generated from green energy sales will be distinctly recorded, contributing to a more accountable and sustainable energy landscape in Chandigarh.
