The Ministry of Power issued instructions to all states and union territories to execute the updated electricity regulations that support open access to green energy, in keeping with India's objectives for renewable energy. Green Energy Open Access, which encourages the use of renewable energy, is now available to organisations with a contracted demand or approved load of 100 kW or more, according to the official government notice of February 12.
""It is requested to all States/UTs to take appropriate action for implementation of the electricity (Promoting Renewable Energy through Green Energy Open Access) Rules, 2022 (as amended from time to time) notified by the Central government and align open access regulations, on aggregation basis, in accordance with the notified Rules, at the earliest," the notification reads.
"Provided that only consumers who have contracted demand or sanctioned load of Hundred kW or more, either through single connection or through multiple connections aggregating Hundred kW or more located in same electricity division of a distribution licensee, shall be eligible to take power through green energy open access and there shall be no limit of supply of power for the captive consumers taking power under green energy open access," it added.
The mandate, which aims to consolidate India's position in the renewable energy sector, expects states and UTs to align their open access regulations and report compliance within a span of 15 days, reflecting the urgency of India's green initiatives. This regulatory shift is set to streamline the process of acquiring green energy, thereby supporting the nation's commitment to sustainable development and energy security.
