					</table><p>The West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission (<a href="https://www.wberc.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WBERC</a>) has issued an order, determining the feed-in tariff for net billing and gross metering under the West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission (Grid Interactive Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic System for Prosumers) Regulations, 2025.</p>
<p>The Commission has already <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/west-bengal-issues-rooftop-solar-regulations-for-prosumers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> tariff orders for all distribution licensees for the fiscal year 2025-26; hence, a separate order was required to finalize the feed-in tariffs for prosumers.</p>
<p><strong>Determined Feed-in Tariffs </strong></p>
<p>Based on these calculations, the Commission determined the feed-in tariffs for the financial year 2026 for different voltage levels across the four licensees. For extra high voltage, the tariffs are ₹3.73 (~$0.042)/kWh for West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company (WBSEDCL), ₹4.42 (~$0.050)/kWh for Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation (CESC), and ₹4.19 (~$0.047)/kWh for India Power Corporation (IPCL).</p>
<p>For high voltage level, the tariffs are ₹3.89 (~$0.044)/kWh for WBSEDCL, ₹4.60 (~$0.052)/kWh for CESC, ₹4.36 (~$0.049)/kWh for IPCL, and ₹4.31 (~$0.049)/kWh for Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC).</p>
<p>For low and medium voltage, the tariffs are ₹4.37 (~$0.049)/kWh for WBSEDCL, ₹4.80 (~$0.054)/kWh for CESC, and ₹4.36 (~$ 0.049)/kWh for IPCL.</p>
<p><strong>Financial Computations</strong></p>
<p>The order provides detailed financial computations of the landed cost of power for each distribution licensee. The total power purchase cost was calculated at ₹201.1 billion (~$2.42 billion) for WBSEDCL, ₹31.30 billion (~$376.50 million) for CESC, ₹4.18 billion (~$50.27 million) for IPCL, and ₹5.82 billion (~$70.03 million) for DVC.</p>
<p>The cost of own generation was ₹2.14 billion (~$25.75 million) for WBSEDCL, ₹22.71 billion (~$273.24 million) for CESC, ₹382.205 million (~$4.60 million) for IPCL, and ₹48.71 billion (~$) for DVC. This resulted in an overall landed cost of power at ₹203.3 billion (~$586.14 million) for WBSEDCL, ₹54.0213 billion (~$2.45 billion) for CESC, ₹4.56 billion (~$54.86 million) for IPCL, and ₹54.5 billion (~$655.80 million) for DVC.</p>
<p><strong>Regulatory Framework</strong></p>
<p>The order was issued under Regulation 11 of the 2025 Rooftop Solar Regulations, which allows the Commission to fix the feed-in tariff either in the tariff order or by issuing a separate order. Once the tariff is agreed upon between the prosumer and the distribution licensee, it will remain valid for the entire useful life of the solar project.</p>
<p>For tariff determination, the Commission considered the landed cost of power at different voltage levels. The calculation included the distribution licensee’s power purchase cost, the cost of its own power generation, and the impact of transmission and distribution losses.</p>
<p>The normative loss levels were applied in line with the West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission (Open Access) Regulations, 2022. The state transmission utility losses were not considered separately as they were already accounted for in the overall energy balance.</p>
<p>The Commission emphasized that these tariffs were designed not to create any additional financial burden on distribution licensees while enabling prosumers to recover their solar installation costs.</p>
<p>As rooftop solar integration in West Bengal is still in its early stages, no additional cost impacts were factored into the tariff setting to keep the process simple and focused on promoting solar adoption in the state.</p>
<p>Last October, WBERC <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/wberc-proposes-net-solar-systems-up-to-5-kw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> draft regulations for grid-interactive rooftop solar systems.

					</table><p>The Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission (<a href="https://berc.co.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BERC</a>) has released the draft Bihar Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2025.</p>
<p>The draft regulations are designed to govern tariff determination for renewable energy projects due for commissioning during the financial years 2025-26 to 2027-28.</p>
<p><strong>Scope and Coverage</strong></p>
<p>The draft regulations cover all renewable energy projects commissioned during the control period.</p>
<p>Tariff determination under these regulations applies to grid-connected generating stations, including biomass power projects based on Rankine cycle technology, non-fossil fuel-based cogeneration projects, solar, solar thermal, and floating solar projects, renewable hybrid energy and renewable energy with storage projects, biomass gasifier and biogas projects, municipal solid waste-based projects, and refuse-derived fuel-based projects.</p>
<p><strong>Eligibility</strong></p>
<p>For wind and small hydro projects, the key requirement is the use of new equipment, specifically new wind turbine generators for wind projects and new plant and machinery for small hydro. These projects must be situated at a site approved by the state nodal agency.</p>
<p>Projects utilizing biomass and non-fossil fuels have specific technological requirements. Biomass power projects utilizing Rankine cycle technology must employ new plant and machinery and cannot utilize any fossil fuels.</p>
<p>Non-fossil fuel-based cogeneration projects must also utilize new plant and machinery and operate in the topping cycle mode. For these projects, the sum of the useful power output and one-half of the useful thermal output must exceed 45% of the facility&#8217;s energy consumption during the crushing season.</p>
<p>Solar projects, including floating solar and solar thermal, must be based on technologies approved by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. A notable exception is that floating solar projects installed with an existing renewable energy project (other than ground-mounted solar) will be categorized as renewable hybrid energy projects.</p>
<p>Renewable hybrid energy projects themselves have a criterion that the rated capacity of generation from one renewable energy source must be at least 25% of the rated capacity of the other renewable energy sources that operate at the same point of interconnection.</p>
<p><strong>Tariff Structure</strong></p>
<p>The tariff structure for renewable energy projects will consist of return on equity, interest on loan, depreciation, interest on working capital, and operation and maintenance expenses. The tariff will be designed on a levelized basis over the useful life of the project, taking into account the year of commissioning.</p>
<p>The debt-equity ratio is fixed at 70:30 for both generic and project-specific tariff determinations. The loan tenure is assumed to be 15 years, with interest rates calculated 200 basis points above the average State Bank of India (SBI) marginal cost of funds-based lending rate (MCLR).</p>
<p>The normative return on equity is set at 14%. Depreciation will be allowed up to a maximum of 90% of the admitted capital cost with a 10% salvage value, at a rate of 4.67% per annum for the first 15 years, spread over the remaining life thereafter.</p>
<p>Working capital requirements will be computed based on O&amp;M expenses, receivables, and maintenance spares. The interest rate on working capital is set at 325 basis points above SBI’s MCLR.</p>
<p>Rebate and surcharge provisions include a 1.5% rebate if payments are made within five days of presenting the bills, while late payments attract a surcharge of 1.5% per month if delayed beyond 45 days.</p>
<p>All renewable energy projects, except biomass and non-fossil fuel cogeneration facilities exceeding 10 MW, are categorized as “must-run” stations and are exempt from merit order dispatch principles. Excess generation beyond the approved capacity utilization factor can be sold, with the primary beneficiary retaining the first right of refusal.</p>
<p><strong>Technology-Specific Parameters</strong></p>
<p>For non-fossil fuel-based cogeneration projects, the capital cost is set at ₹56.2 million (~$653,488.37)/MW, with a PLF of 53%, auxiliary consumption of 8.5%, and a station heat rate of 3600 kCal/kWh.</p>
<p>For solar, floating solar, and solar thermal projects, capital costs will be determined on a project-specific basis. The minimum capacity utilization factor (CUF) is set at 19% for solar and floating solar, and 23% for solar thermal. Auxiliary consumption norms are 0.75% for solar and floating solar, and 10% for solar thermal.</p>
<p>For small hydro projects, the Commission will determine capital costs project-specifically. The CUF is 45%, auxiliary consumption is 1.5%, and normative O&amp;M expenses for FY 2025-26 are fixed at ₹5.30 million (~$61,627.91)/MW, escalating at 3.84% annually.</p>
<p>In June this year, BERC <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/bihar-commission-approves-tariffs-for-238-mw-solar-projects-under-kusum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> tariffs ranging from ₹2.77 (~$0.032)/kWh to ₹3.48 (~$0.040)/kWh for 238.15 MW of solar power from grid-connected projects under Component C of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan program.</p>

					</table><p>Power and distribution transformers in the U.S. are seeing supply deficits of 30% and 6% respectively, based on annual supply and demand estimates, according to a <a href="https://www.woodmac.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wood Mackenzie</a> report.</p>
<p>Transformer costs are likely to continue increasing with the imposition of U.S. trade tariffs, as the industry is highly dependent on imports for both finished equipment and underlying components and commodities.</p>
<p>Not only will the average cost per transformer increase significantly due to the tariffs, but lead times will grow as imports from high-tariff countries become cost-prohibitive.</p>
<p>“The ongoing market deficit, combined with the aggressive trade policy, will continue putting upward pressure on U.S. transformer prices over the coming years. We calculate that prices will jump by a further 20% to 30% depending on the specification, further straining project costs.”</p>
<p>Impacts range from less than 2% to over 15% depending on the transformer type and tariff scenario.</p>
<p>The tariffs factored into each case are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Base case: includes existing tariffs as of August 2025, including the new 50% copper tariff, 50% Indian and Brazil tariff, and 35% on non-U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement-compliant imports from Canada</li>
<li>Low case: represents the unsuccessful appeal of the tariff ban, which would revert to 50% commodity-specific tariffs only</li>
<li>High case: includes all tariffs factored into the base case as well as additional tariffs on countries without an agreement, including China and the European Union</li>
</ul>
<p>Many of the largest transformer original equipment manufacturers have announced capacity expansions worth $1.8 billion since 2023 to address the market shortage. However, the demand growth rate will require even more investment to rebalance the market.</p>

<p><strong>Transformer Demand Surge</strong></p>
<p>Transformer demand in the U.S. has surged due to a 7% rise in electricity consumption between 2010 and 2020. This growth has been driven by rapid data center expansion, a nearly doubling of manufacturing construction spending due to the tax incentives of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, and widespread electrification.</p>
<p>Ageing equipment is adding to the shortage. A 2024 Department of Energy study found that 40 million units, or 55% of in-service distribution transformers, were over 33 years old and well beyond their service life. An increase in extreme weather events has heightened the risks to grid reliability. Domestic manufacturing capacity has been unable to keep pace with the growing demand.</p>
<p>Wood Mackenzie stated that utilities are increasingly relying on imports, with estimates suggesting that imports account for 80% of U.S. power transformer supply and 50% of distribution transformer supply.</p>
<p>This trend is most evident in power and generation step-up transformers, where demand is estimated to have increased 116% and 274%, respectively, since 2019. Even distribution transformers, which comprise nearly 98% of transformer demand on a unit basis, have seen growth ranging from 30% to 80%.</p>
<p><strong>Long Lead Times</strong></p>
<p>The shortage has led to a significant rise in both lead times and prices in most transformer categories. Since 2019, unit costs have risen by 45% for generation step-up, 77% for power, and 78% to 95% for distribution transformers. However, higher-voltage units have seen larger U.S. dollar-based cost escalations due to higher baseline costs.</p>
<p><a href="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-83754 size-full" src="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2.png" alt="US Transformer 2" width="752" height="310" srcset="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2.png 752w, https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2-300x124.png 300w, https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2-650x268.png 650w, https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2-624x257.png 624w, https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/US-Transformer-image-2-600x247.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px" /></a></p>
<p>Wood Mackenzie also highlighted market volatility for grain-oriented electrical steel, for which prices have reached all-time highs. The U.S. relies on a single domestic supplier, forcing many original equipment manufacturers to import raw electrical steel or semi-finished transformer cores.</p>
<p>Copper windings have emerged as another potential bottleneck to transformer production, due to their highly technical manufacturing process and niche specifications. The U.S. government’s 50% copper tariffs are likely to worsen the issue.</p>
<p>Besides the shortage of specialist technical manpower in transformer manufacturing, the domestic sector is cautious about expanding capacity due to uncertainties caused by the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”</p>
<p>The U.S. Treasury Department recently <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/us-treasury-guidance-tightens-renewable-energy-tax-credit-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> new rules to limit wind and solar companies from claiming federal tax breaks. It also obligated utility-scale projects to conduct off-site physical work tests for power equipment, including transformers.</p>
<p>The Indian renewable energy industry is also grappling with transformer shortages, as renewable energy installations and pipelines continue to rise consistently. Last year, Mercom <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/shortage-power-transformers-india-solar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that solar projects were being delayed due to longer lead times for power transformers.</p>

					</table><p>Power converter manufacturer <a href="https://www.energiaa.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statcon Energiaa</a> has secured an investment from <a href="https://www.rotomag.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rotomag Enertec</a>, providing the latter with a 50.99% stake in the company.</p>
<p>The two companies aim to develop and deploy MW-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), among other things, following the investment&#8217;s finalization.</p>
<p>Statcon Energiaa designs, manufactures, and commercially sells on-grid solar inverters. Its solutions cater to green hydrogen, railways, defense, and the power sectors.</p>
<p>The company said it recently finalised a licensing contract with AEG PS, Germany, to develop rectifier systems for electrolyzers used in green hydrogen production.</p>
<p>The investment will be used to scale up Statcon’s solutions.</p>
<p>The two companies aim to pursue the following goals:</p>
<ul>
<li>Development and deployment of next-generation MW-scale BESS</li>
<li>Scaling indigenized solar inverter production, specifically for hybrid and three-phase on-grid systems</li>
<li>Increasing efforts in the green hydrogen rectifier space</li>
<li>Conducting joint research and development for advanced energy solutions using lithium-ion batteries</li>
<li>Expansion into international markets, focusing on Asia, Africa, and the Middle East</li>
</ul>
<p>As India’s power grid <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/battery-energy-storage-key-to-indias-renewable-energy-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">becomes</a> increasingly complex due to rising renewable energy penetration, the need for a stable grid has never been more pressing. With the growing share of variable solar and wind power in the energy mix, BESS is emerging as a critical enabler, helping bridge the gap between generation and consumption while maintaining grid balance.</p>
<p>According to the National Electricity Plan issued by the Central Electricity Authority, India will require nearly 74 GW of storage capacity, amounting to over 411 GWh by 2032. This capacity is essential to integrate an anticipated 364 GW solar and 121 GW wind capacity.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, the Ministry of Power <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/cea-clarifies-energy-storage-integration-future-solar-tenders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated</a> that co-located energy storage systems with a minimum two-hour capacity, equivalent to 10% of the installed solar capacity, be included in all future solar tenders. This directive targets strengthening grid reliability and supporting the country’s goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade.</p>
<p>The energy storage requirement is expected to address intermittency challenges and provide critical support during peak demand hours. Renewable energy implementing agencies may explicitly include this provision in bid documents to ensure storage availability during non-solar hours.</p>

					</table><p>The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (<a title="https://gercin.org/" href="https://gercin.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GERC</a>) has issued the GERC (Procurement of Energy from Renewable Sources) Regulations, 2025, governing renewable purchase obligations (RPOs) for distribution licensees, open access consumers, and captive users.</p>
<p><strong>Applicability of RPO</strong></p>
<p>The regulations extend RPO compliance to all obligated entities, including distribution licensees, open access consumers, and captive generating projects with an installed capacity above 100 kW based on conventional technologies.</p>
<p>Captive projects established solely for standby or emergency backup power during breakdowns or power cuts are also covered. Captive users consuming electricity from conventional sources for regular operations must comply as well.</p>
<p>Retail consumers drawing power exclusively from distribution licensees are exempt under the regulations, except where they qualify as designated consumers under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. Such designated consumers are required to meet their RPO obligations irrespective of the capacity of their captive generation plants.</p>
<p><strong>Quantum of RPO</strong></p>
<p>The regulations specify year-wise RPOs between 2024-2025 and 2029-2030. The quantum is defined in percentage terms of total electricity consumption across wind, hydropower, renewable energy, distributed renewable energy, and other renewable energy.</p>

<p>The regulations specify that the wind component must be met through wind power projects commissioned after March 31, 2024, while the hydropower component must come from hydropower projects, including pump storage and small hydropower, commissioned after that date.</p>
<p>The hydropower quota can also be met through free power allocations to the state from new hydro projects and from energy sourced from projects outside India, if approved by the central government.</p>
<p>Distributed renewable energy is defined as energy from projects under 10 MW, including solar installations across notified configurations, with generation data converted at 3.5 kWh/kW/day where actual metering data is unavailable.</p>
<p>Other renewable energy covers all eligible projects not included in wind, hydropower, or distributed renewable energy, including older wind and hydro projects, biomass, bagasse cogeneration, and municipal solid waste-based power plants.</p>
<p>The regulations allow flexibility to meet shortfalls in wind or hydropower obligations by using surpluses from the other renewable energy category. Surpluses in wind or hydropower can also be counted toward the other renewable category. Excess energy from this category may be used to offset deficits in wind or hydropower.</p>
<p>Obligated entities using open access or captive generation must meet total renewable energy targets irrespective of the source.</p>
<p><strong>Storage Obligation</strong></p>
<p>Alongside renewable purchase requirements, the regulations introduce mandatory energy storage obligations. Obligated entities must procure a percentage of their total consumption through storage. The storage system will be charged predominantly from renewable energy.</p>
<p><a href="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/GERC-RPO-image-2.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-83660 size-full" src="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/GERC-RPO-image-2.png" alt="GERC RPO 2" width="578" height="315" srcset="https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/GERC-RPO-image-2.png 578w, https://mercomindia.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/GERC-RPO-image-2-300x163.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px" /></a></p>
<p>The shortage is considered fulfilled only when at least 85% of the stored energy is sourced from renewable energy. The renewable energy stored counts toward total RPO compliance, and the storage requirement is applicable till 2030, with the 2029-2030 levels extended further if no new notification is issued.</p>
<p><strong>Fulfilment and Compliance Mechanism</strong></p>
<p>The regulations mandate that the obligated entities fulfil their RPO category-wise on an annual basis, with quarterly compliance encouraged. Obligations can be met through procurement of renewable energy directly from generators, purchase through exchanges, receipt of free power from government allocations, self-generation from renewable assets, and banking arrangements.</p>
<p>Rooftop solar consumption under net metering or group metering is eligible for compliance either by the consumer or the distribution licensee, per the Gujarat Net Metering Regulations.</p>
<p>Further, renewable energy consumed for producing green hydrogen or ammonia will count towards the RPO of the consuming entity. Any surplus beyond their own obligation will be credited towards the distribution licensee in whose area the project is located.</p>
<p>Obligated entities anticipating shortfalls must procure additional renewable energy or RECs before the end of the year. Inter-category adjustments are allowed within the limits specified in the regulations.</p>
<p><strong>Role of Certificates and State Agency</strong></p>
<p>Certificates purchased from exchanges or traders must be reported to the state agency. Obligated entities can also apply for RECs for surplus renewable energy procured or generated beyond their obligations.</p>
<p>Renewable energy sold under long-term power purchase agreements outside the REC mechanism does not qualify for REC issuance.</p>
<p>The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) has been designated as the state agency for implementing these regulations, subject to possible change if the commission finds another agency suitable. GEDA must develop an RPO compliance web portal for registration, monitoring, and reporting by obligated entities.</p>
<p>Quarterly and annual compliance reports must be submitted in formats prescribed by the commission. GEDA can also appoint third-party auditors to verify compliance and will be compensated for its functions under these regulations.</p>
<p><strong>Registration, Reporting, and Monitoring</strong></p>
<p>Obligated entities must register with the state agency through the web portal within three months of notification. They must provide quarterly and annual data on RPO compliance. Distribution licensees must include renewable energy procurement projections for five years in their tariff petitions.</p>
<p>Entities with contract demand above 1 MW and sourcing from conventional sources must file compliance petitions with the commission by June 30 each year, while smaller consumers must report to the state agency.</p>
<p>All obligated entities must also publish the quarterly RPO compliance status on their websites, which will be aggregated on the state web portal.</p>
<p><strong>Penalties</strong></p>
<p>The regulations prescribe financial penalties for non-compliance with the RPOs. The penalty is set at two times the value of per ton of oil equivalent (TOE), as notified by the Ministry of Power. Since one TOE equals 11,630 kWh and the notified value of TOE is ₹21,650 (~$251.74), the penalty works out to ₹3.72 (~$0.043)/kWh of shortfall.</p>
<p>The collected penalties will be placed in a dedicated fund to be used for renewable energy certificate (REC) purchases or for transmission infrastructure development for renewable energy evacuation. In addition, defaults in reporting, false submissions, or failure to submit required information may attract penal provisions.</p>
<p><strong>REC Purchases</strong></p>
<p>Electricity acquired through the REC mechanism, where the buyer does not claim green attributes and the generator takes part in REC trading, will be recognized separately. The purchase rate for such power will be determined by the Commission, considering the average power purchase cost of the distribution licensee.</p>
<p>Recently, GERC <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/gerc-approves-tariff-for-500-mw-solar-projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> a tariff of ₹2.60 (~$0.0297)/kWh discovered by Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam to procure power from 250 MW of solar projects, along with an additional 250 MW under the greenshoe option.</p>

					</table><p>The Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission (<a href="https://www.tgerc.telangana.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TGERC</a>) has issued regulations for grid-interactive rooftop solar, introducing a comprehensive framework governing metering for consumers in the state.</p>
<p>The framework titled Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission (Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Grid-Interactive Systems) Regulations, 2025 will apply to distribution licensees, eligible consumers, and third-party owners of rooftop solar PV systems.</p>
<p><strong>Scope and Coverage</strong></p>
<p>The regulations cover all rooftop solar systems operating under net metering, group net metering, gross metering, and virtual net metering. The interconnection must comply with standards specified by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) under its 2013 connectivity regulations, 2023 safety regulations, and the Telangana State Electricity Grid Code Regulations, 2018.</p>
<p><strong>Capacity Limits and Eligibility</strong></p>
<p>Consumers across categories are permitted to install rooftop solar systems under net metering up to 500 kW. Existing consumers who already have systems above 500 kW will be allowed to continue availing net metering benefits.</p>
<p>Group net metering is permitted for systems below 100 kW, while gross metering is allowed up to 1 MW. Virtual net metering is permitted for less than 100 kW. A consumer cannot simultaneously avail both net and gross metering or mix net, group, and virtual net metering.</p>
<p>The minimum project size is fixed at 1 kW for net and gross metering, and 10 kW for group and virtual net metering. For residential and government consumers, the maximum rooftop solar capacity under net and gross metering can be 100% of the sanctioned load.</p>
<p>For industrial, commercial, and other consumers, the cap is 80% of the sanctioned load or contracted demand. In group net metering, the capacity limit is the sum of contracted or sanctioned loads of parent and participating connections for residential and government consumers, and 80% of the same sum for commercial and industrial consumers.</p>
<p>In the event of a reduction in contracted demand leading to a mismatch with sanctioned rooftop capacity, the excess injected power is treated as inadvertent power. Consumers with pending arrears to the distribution licensee are not entitled to avail any metering arrangement under the regulation.</p>
<p><strong>Restrictions</strong></p>
<p>The regulations bar consumers availing net or gross metering from simultaneously accessing open access under the TGERC Open Access Regulations, 2024.</p>
<p>Consumers under group and virtual net metering are also barred from open access, though wheeling of energy between parent and participating connections is allowed, subject to wheeling charges and losses.</p>
<p>Third-party sale of rooftop power outside such arrangements is prohibited.</p>
<p><strong>Exemptions and Charges</strong></p>
<p>Prosumer systems under net and gross metering are exempt from banking charges, wheeling charges, cross-subsidy surcharge, and additional surcharge. Under group net metering, prosumers and participating connections are exempt from banking, cross-subsidy surcharge, and additional surcharge, but wheeling charges and losses will apply to participating connections.</p>
<p>Virtual net metering is exempt from banking charges, but cross-subsidy surcharge, additional surcharge, and wheeling charges will apply to participating consumers, along with wheeling losses.</p>
<p>These losses will be calculated on the lower voltage level between the parent and participating consumers.</p>
<p><strong>Duration and Safety Requirements</strong></p>
<p>The net, gross, group, or virtual net metering facility will be applicable for 25 years from the grid connection date. Projects above 75 kW must be insured and certified for safety by the Chief Electrical Inspector within 15 working days of application.</p>
<p>The consumer can self-certify systems up to 75 kW. Consumers installing systems above 75 kW can connect to 11 kV or 33 kV feeders of their respective distribution licensee.</p>
<p><strong>Distribution</strong></p>
<p>The regulations impose distribution transformer and feeder level capacity restrictions. The cumulative capacity of all rooftop solar systems connected to a distribution transformer cannot exceed 50% of its rated capacity.</p>
<p>For high-tension (HT) consumers on 11 kV or 33 kV feeders, the cumulative rooftop solar capacity cannot exceed 50% of the feeder’s maximum load or the substation transformer capacity to which it is connected.</p>
<p>Distribution licensees must publish available transformer-wise and feeder-wise capacity on their websites within three months of notification and update the data quarterly.</p>
<p><strong>Application Procedure</strong></p>
<p>Net or gross metering applications must be filed in prescribed formats with a processing fee of ₹2,500 (~$29.07) for low tension consumers and ₹15,000 (~$174.42) for HT consumers. Parent consumers applying for group or virtual net metering must submit additional undertakings from participating connections.</p>
<p>The distribution licensee must acknowledge receipt within seven working days and complete the feasibility analysis within 15 working days. The feasibility report will remain valid for four months. Projects up to 10 kW are exempt from feasibility analysis and deemed approved.</p>
<p>Connectivity strengthening up to 5 kW will be borne by the distribution licensee. Consumers must install the system within 180 days of the feasibility report, after which the licensee will inspect and approve commissioning within 15 working days.</p>
<p>Connection agreements must be signed within 15 working days of work completion. Meters must be installed and systems commissioned within 15 working days thereafter.</p>
<p><strong>Grid Interconnection</strong></p>
<p>All systems must comply with CEA connectivity and metering standards and state grid code. Systems must be equipped with automatic synchronization, islanding protection, isolator switches accessible to distribution personnel, and meet International Electrochemical Commission power quality standards, including power factor requirements.</p>
<p>The distribution licensee can disconnect rooftop systems in emergencies or when operation adversely affects the grid. Overall safety responsibility rests with the consumer.</p>
<p><strong>Energy Accounting and Settlement</strong></p>
<p>For net metering, billing will show exported, imported, and net consumption. Surplus energy will be settled at the lower of the tariff discovered in the solar competitive bidding or the lowest tariff in the existing power purchase agreements (PPAs) of the distribution licensee. Imported energy will be billed at retail tariffs, and minimum charges will apply.</p>
<p>In group net metering, exports will be adjusted against parent and participating consumption per their agreement, with the surplus amount settled on the same basis. Allocation ratios can be revised once every financial year.</p>
<p>Under gross metering, all energy will be purchased by the licensee at the same lowest tariff benchmark. Consumers must pay a retail tariff for all imports. In virtual net metering, exports will be allocated among participating consumers with the surplus settled at the same tariff benchmark. Allocation can be changed annually.</p>
<p><strong>Renewable Purchase Obligations</strong></p>
<p>The regulation allows electricity consumed under net, gross, group, and virtual metering to be counted toward the renewable purchase obligations of the distribution licensee or obligated entities.</p>
<p><strong>Metering Arrangements</strong></p>
<p>All rooftop solar metering must use smart meters with advanced metering infrastructure and time-of-day capability. Net and group net metering require bi-directional smart meters, while gross and virtual net metering require solar generation meters. Distribution licensees are responsible for meter installation, testing, and maintenance.</p>
<p><strong>Compensation, Incentives, and Inspection</strong></p>
<p>Consumers are eligible for compensation if the distribution licensee fails to meet timelines, as per the TSERC Standards of Performance Regulations, 2016. Subsidies and incentives provided by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy or the state government must be released within 30 working days by the nodal agency.</p>
<p>The distribution licensee may inspect rooftop systems, and non-compliant vendors can be blacklisted and their systems disconnected. Any panels or equipment additions require prior approval.</p>
<p><strong>CDM Benefits Sharing</strong></p>
<p>The regulation prescribes rules for the clean development mechanism (CDM) benefits. In the first year, 100% of CDM benefits accrue to the prosumer. From the second year, the distribution licensee’s share will increase by 10% annually until it reaches 50%.</p>
<p><strong>Other Provisions</strong></p>
<p>For defective meters, billing will be based on the average of the past three cycles, and they must be replaced within 15 days. Consumers must execute a rooftop solar connection agreement before commissioning.</p>
<p>The Commission can issue directions, remove difficulties, and amend the regulations, which will be reviewed every three years but continue in force until modified.</p>
<p>In April this year, TGERC <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/telangana-approves-procurement-of-4-gw-solar-power-under-pm-kusum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> the procurement of 4,000 MW of solar power and the associated PPAs from projects under Component-A of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan.</p>

					</table><p>Solar is likely to account for more than half of the 64 GW of new utility-scale electricity that developers plan to bring online in the U.S. this year, according to a survey by the Energy Information Administration (<a href="https://www.eia.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EIA</a>).</p>
<p>Developers added 12 GW of new utility-scale capacity in the first half (1H) of 2025 and plan to add another 21 GW during the second half. Battery storage, wind, and natural gas power plants are expected to account for virtually all of the remaining capacity additions in 2025.</p>
<p>Installing 64 GW in 2025 could set a yearly record. The previous record of 58 GW capacity added to the grid was set in 2022, with 57 GW of this capacity coming from natural gas.</p>
<p>According to the EIA, technologies such as wind, solar, and battery storage have become more prevalent options for new capacity, despite developers adding natural gas-fired capacity each year since 2022.</p>

<p>The agency had earlier <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/us-solar-63gw-largest-annual-capacity-installation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projected</a> that the U.S. would add 63 GW of new utility-scale power capacity in 2025, a nearly 30% increase from 48.6 GW in 2024, marking the largest annual capacity installation since 2002. Its analysis found that solar energy and battery storage will comprise 81% of the projected capacity additions, with solar accounting for over 50% of the growth.</p>
<p>The increase in solar and wind additions can largely be attributed to developments in Texas. Approximately 3.6 GW (27%) of solar capacity additions so far this year occurred in the state, with another 9.7 GW planned to be brought online in 2H 2025. Texas surpassed California last year to achieve the highest utility-scale solar capacity in the U.S.</p>
<p>Battery storage witnessed the second-highest capacity addition share in 1H 2025 with 5.9 GW (26%). Approximately half of these additions were in Arizona and California. Texas is expected to add  GW of battery capacity this year, with the majority of these additions occurring in the second half.</p>
<p>EIA stated that realizing the new solar and battery storage capacity plans could help both technologies add more capacity than in any preceding year.</p>
<p>The U.S. solar industry <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/us-solar-sees-7-decline-in-q1-2025-with-10-8-gw-installed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">installed</a> 10.8 GW of capacity in the first quarter of 2025. Despite declining both 43% quarterly and 7% annually, this was the fourth-best quarter on record, according to the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q2 2025 report released by the Solar Energy Industries Association and Wood Mackenzie.</p>
