The Tamil Nadu Solar Energy Policy 2019 excludes HT consumers from availing the net feed-in metering mechanism. This discourages a large segment of industrial, commercial, and institutional consumers from installing consumer category solar PV plants. The only option available for these HT consumers for generating solar energy on their premises is to operate the plant

A transition towards a decarbonized and sustainable energy future will incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. The intermittency of these renewable sources creates a substantial mismatch between energy produced and required. Energy storage plays an important role in balancing supply and demand and helps to create a more flexible and reliable electricity
As of the end of 2020, Tamil Nadu has an installed solar PV capacity of over 4 GW.
To mitigate the sector’s market and financial barriers, the Indian Government has sought climate financing from international banks. Additionally, with technical assistance programs, the early market-related risks and challenges, such as lack of experience and technical knowledge amongst the key stakeholders are to be overcome in order to accelerate deployment of rooftop solar. The scope
This report presents a detailed evidenced-based analysis of a selected substation in Erode District, Tamil Nadu, and explores the technical and commercial impacts of different solar PV penetration levels on the distribution network. The main objective of this report is to assess the benefits and challenges of integrating high levels of distributed solar generation at
