/ draw the banked energy during lean RE period.

Banking facility shall be provided to the consumers availing Green Energy Open

Access. The surplus energy from a ‘Green Energy’ Generating Station after setting off

shall be banked with the Distribution Licensee/ GRIDCO as follows.

The banking facility including injection of surplus energy and drawal of banked

energy shall be subject to scheduling. The SLDC shall formulate a mechanism

for scheduling of injection & drawl of energy linked to banking of RE.

The quantum of green energy Banked by the RE generator or consumer of Green

Energy shall be limited to 30% of the total monthly generation by the generator

(within the State) or monthly consumption of electricity from Distribution

Licensee by the consumer of Green Energy. The energy banked by the RE

generator (s) or consumer (s) within the State shall be limited to energy

equivalent to 200 MW in a month cumulatively for all RE generators or

consumers within the State except the consumer consuming power for

production of Green Hydrogen or Green Ammonia or its derivatives. The

Consumer drawing Green Energy from RE sources within the State or outside

the State for producing Green Hydrogen and or Green Ammonia or its

derivatives, may avail banking facility cumulatively for all the consumers in

this category limited to energy equivalent to 350 MW. However, the total

quantum of banking of Green Energy with GRIDCO at any point of time shall

not be more than 500 MW (i.e demand not exceeding 500 MW in a time block)

for above categories taken together:

Provided that the Commission on the request of GRIDCO may revise the

banking quantum in each category including the capping by a Special Order;

Provided further that a Nodal Agency designated by Government of

Odisha shall formulate the methodology / procedure for allocation of quantum

of Green Energy power for Banking to applicant (s) within 3 months of

notification of these regulations and submit the same for information of the

Commission.

The Banking Charge for solar generation shall be @ 8% of the energy banked.

The Banking Charge for wind or solar & wind hybrid generation, shall be

5% of the energy banked:

The Banking of energy shall be permitted only on monthly basis as per Calendar

month (i.e. banking cycle):

Provided that the credit for banked energy shall not be permitted to be

carried forward to subsequent banking cycle / month and shall be adjusted

during the same month / banking cycle;

Provided that the energy whether banked during peak / off-peak TOD

slots shall be permitted to be drawn during off-peak TOD slot only by paying

the banking charges as specified in this Regulation. The TOD slot shall be

determined by the Commission in their Tariff Order from time to time;

Provided that the unutilized banked energy would be treated as deemed

purchase by GRIDCO on the expiry of banking cycle at lowest RE procurement

price of GRIDCO of last financial year or lowest price discovered by SECI

through competitive bidding process in last financial year whichever is less;

Provided that the payment for deemed purchase by GRIDCO shall be

limited to 10 % of the banked energy;

Provided that Green Energy consumed for production of Green Ammonia

or Green Hydrogen or their derivatives or any other activity shall be accounted

for RPO compliance for such open access consumers. The Green Energy

consumption beyond obligation of the open access consumer shall be counted

towards RPO compliance of GRIDCO / DISCOMs;

Provided that unutilized banked energy shall also be accounted for the

RPO compliance of DISCOMs/GRIDCO.

The RE Generator shall provide Special Energy Meter (SEM) and the monthly

settlement of energy sales shall be done based on Power injected to the system

as per the meter readings. The Green Energy Open Access consumers shall

install Special Energy Meter (SEM) or any other suitable meter approved by the

the manufacturers of Green Hydrogen / Green Ammonia in the state. In such

cases, the Distribution licensee/ GRIDCO shall only charge the cost of procurement

as well as the transmission charges, the wheeling charges and a small margin as

determined by the Commission.
