not be limited to the mechanisms, facilities and
initiatives listed below.
6.1.1. Solar energy gross feed-in and metering: The
solar energy is fed into the grid and sold to
Electricity Department, Puducherry ("EDP") or
other distribution licensee. In addition to the
existing service connection meter that records
the consumption of energy at the premises,
an energy meter will be installed by EDP or
other distribution licensee to record the energy
fed into the grid. The solar energy fed into the
grid will be purchased by EDP or other
distribution licensee at the prevailing solar
energy tariff as determined by the JERC. Under
the solar gross feed-in mechanism, solar
energy may also be sold to another distribution
licensee or to a third party under the open
access mechanism.
128
LA GAZETTE DE L’ETAT
[1 March 2016
6.1.2. Solar energy net-metering: The solar energy is
used for self consumption with the surplus,
if any, being exported to the grid. A bidirectional
service connection energy meter will be
installed by EDP or other distribution licensee
to rec o rd the imp o rted , exp o rt ed and
net-imported energy for the purpose of
net-metered billing. Solar net-metering will be
available for all metered electricity consumers.
6.1.3. Solar energy group net-metering: To encourage
solar plants on rooftops of buildings that
cannot consume all of the energy generated
locally, there shall be group net metering,
whereby, surplus energy exported to the grid
from a solar plant in excess of 100 per cent of
imported energy at the location of the solar
plant can be adjusted in any other (one or more)
electricity service connection(s) of the consumer
within the Puducherry Union Territory. The
purpose of this provision is to help maximize
the utilization of rooftop space for solar energy
generation for consumers with multiple
buildings and service connections.
6.1.4. Solar energy virtual net-metering: To give
access to the solar net-metering facility for
consumers who do not have a suitable roof for
installing a solar system (e.g. residential
consumers who live in apartments, consumers
with shaded rooftops) there will be the facility
of virtual net metering. In virtual net-metering
consumers can be beneficial owners of a part
of a collectively owned solar system. All energy
produced by a collectively owned solar system
will be fed into the grid through an energy
meter and the exported energy as recorded by
that meter will be pro rata credited in the
electricity bill of each participating consumer
on the basis of beneficial ownership. Collective
ownership of solar plants may be established
through
Societies,
Trusts or section 25
Companies or any other legal entity that safeguards
the interests of participating consumers,
including rights which are at par with the rights
enjoyed by consumers who have solar
net-metering with a solar system installed on
their own roof.
6.1.5. Solar energy systems for buildings: Solar PV
systems may be installed on rooftops of all
categories of existing and new buildings
connected to the grid of EDP's or other
distribution licensee. Solar PV systems may
also be installed on elevated structures and on
ground mounted structures within the premises
of a building.
6.1.6. Solar energy systems on rented rooftops:
Developers may rent roofs from building owners
and install solar PV systems on these roofs with
solar energy gross feed-in, net feed-in or
net-metering arrangement. The roof owners may be
paid a fixed or a variable rent linked with solar
generation as may be agreed upon between the
roof owner and the project developer.
6.1.7. Solar Energy Special Economic Zones and Solar
Parks: The Government will promote the
development of Special Economic Zones for
research, development and manufacture of solar
energy products and systems. Suitable land will
be identified for developing Solar Parks.
6.1.8. Stand-alone and solar-wind hybrid systems:
In villages and habitats where grid connectivity
is not feasible or not cost effective, off-grid
solutions based on micro-grid and stand-alone
solar PV, solar - wind hybrid solutions, solar
street lights and lanterns will be taken up.
6.2.
Other solar energy implementation initiatives
will include:
6.2.1. Solar thermal (hot water, steam, drying,
dehumidification) systems at institutions and
industries to lower or eliminate the need for
fossil fuels;
6.2.2. Solar water pumps, water purification systems
and milk pasteurization plants;
6.2.3. Solar energy for cottage industries.
7.0. Sustainable Habitats and Buildings:
7.1. Solar passive building principle and technology
will be encouraged through legislative measures.
7.2. Solar cities will be developed in the Union
territory of Puducherry.
7.3. The Town and Country Planning Department in
collaboration with local bodies shall amend
their bye-laws with due mandatory provisions
for solar water heating facilities in residential
and commercial buildings.
7.4. All public buildings will be mandated to meet
their energy requirements increasingly from
solar energy.
8.0. Land for Solar Energy Projects:
8.1. An inventory of surplus and unused land
available with Public Sector Undertakings, the
Union Territory of Puducherry Government,
Urban and Local Bodies and Gram Panchayats
will be undertaken region-wise by the Revenue
129
1 March 2016]
LA GAZETTE DE L’ETAT
Department to identify lands for solar energy
generation projects and the manufacture of
renewable energy equipment.
8.2. The Government will make such identified lands
available to the private sector through appropriate
mechanism, such as long-term lease, etc.
8.3. The Government will either install solar power
plants on all public buildings or rent, the roofs
of these buildings to parties interested in
investing in solar rooftop systems and selling
solar electricity to the EDP or other distribution
licensee.
9.0. Solar Energy Projects Implementation Facilitation
and Incentives:
9.1.
