OTHER PROVISIONS

 

Tariff structure and design Single part, levellised tariff for the tariff period, except for technologies with fuel cost component.
Merit Order Dispatch Principle
  • All renewable energy power plants except for biomass power plants with installed capacity of 10 MW and above, and non-fossil fuel based cogeneration plants, shall be treated as ‘Must Run’ power plants and shall not be subjected to ‘merit order dispatch’ principles.
  • Wind power plant with 10MW+, solar with 5MW+, biomass with 10 MW+ capacity, and non-fossil fuel based co-generation projects, shall be subjected to scheduling and dispatch code as specified under Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) and CERC regulations
Subsidy or/and Incentives by government Any incentive or subsidy provided by the central or state government including accelerated depreciation benefit would be taken into consideration.
Rebate
  • 2% - for payment through letter of credit.
  • 1% - for payments not through letter of credit but within 1 month from the date of presentation of bills.
Late payment surcharge 1.25% per month for payment of bills beyond a period of 60 days from the date of billing.
