Distributed solar PV and distributed energy resources (DERs) are a key part of the sustainable energy future. Compared to conventional power, the costs and benefits of DERs are more distributed in nature. We have developed the Levelised Cost Calculator for Distributed Energy Resources as a part of our efforts to quantify these costs and benefits.
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
Electricity tariffs for domestic consumers and several other consumer categories such as agriculture, huts, etc., are subsidized by the Government of Tamil Nadu. In addition to the electricity subsidy provided by the Government, TANGEDCO cross-subsidises the lower consumer tariffs from revenue collected from higher tariff paying customers. However, TANGEDCO is not able to recover its
The global imperative for transitioning to a sustainable energy future accompanied by increasing cost competitiveness of renewables and new technology innovations is leading us to a transformation of the electricity sector. Distributed Renewable Energy Generation (DREG) and energy storage are among the key drivers of this change. This status report attempts to trace the progress
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
