CHHATTISGARH STAIE ELECTRICITY REGULATORYCOMMISSION (GRID INTERAC- TIVE DISTRIBUTED RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES) REGULATIONS, 2019

No. ⁸²/CSERC/²⁰¹⁹. - Govt. of India is giving thrust to develop renewable source of energy being environment friendly in nature. Also the Electricity Act 2003 provides for policy formulation by the Central Government and mandates State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) to take steps to promote renewable sources of energy within their area ofjurisdiction.

In20l4, the Government of India (GoI) set an ambitious target to achieve 40 GW of cumulative installed capacrty from Grid-Connected Rooftop Photovoltaic (GRPV) systems by 2022. In order to achieve this ambitious target, a strategic combination of Top- Down impetus and Bottom-Up execution approach were initiated, in which GoI, in partnership with the State Governments and Regulators, adopted a number of measures to promote the rooftop solar sector.

As per MNRE, GoI guidelines, minimum capacity of 01 KWp solar power PV plant is eligible for gdd connectivity. Most of the States have net metering provision and connectivity of solar power plant for 1 KW capacity under their solar roof top power plant regulations.

Forum of Regulators (FOR) has also came out with draft model regulations for Grid Interactive Distributed Renewable Energy Sources in the Month of April 2019.

Further, power procured by distribution licensee from such projects can also quali$ for their renewable purchase obligation.

Keeping the above in view and in exercise of powers vested under Section 42,61,66, 86 read with Section 181 of the Electricity Act 2003 (36 of 2003) and all other powers enabling it in this behalf, the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission (the Commission) hereby makes the following Regulations specifiring the terms and conditions for distributed solar power projects in the State.
