CERC Proposes Transmission Charge Waivers for Delayed Renewable Energy Projects
India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has proposed draft regulations to waive transmission charges for solar, wind, hybrid renewable energy projects, and associated battery storage systems delayed due to transmission infrastructure unavailability. This policy reversal would benefit projects with power sale contracts of at least seven years signed by December 31, 2026. The move addresses delays caused by stalled transmission infrastructure and reverses the planned phase-out of interstate transmission charge waivers starting July 2025.
