Order:
-
Clauses (5) and (7) of Complementary Commercial Mechanism at Annexure-I to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2010, as amended from time to time (hereinafter "Grid Code") provide as under:
-
The wind generators shall be responsible for forecasting their generation upto an accuracy of 70%. Therefore, if the actual generation is beyond +/- 30% of the schedule, wind generator would have to bear the UI charges. For actual generation within +/- 30% of the schedule, no UI would be payable/receivable by Generator, The host state, shall bear the UI charges for this variation, i.e within +/- 30%. However, the UI charges borne by the host State due to the wind generation, shall be shared among all the States of the country in the ratio of their peak demands in the previous month based on the data published by CEA, in the form of a regulatory charge known as the Renewable Regulatory Charge operated through the Renewable Regulatory Fund (RRF). This provision shall be applicable with effect from 1.1.2011,for new wind farms with collective capacity of 10 MW and above connected at connection point of 33 KV level and above, and who have not signed any PPA with states or others as on the date of coming into force of this IEGC. Illustrative calculations in respect of above mechanism are given in Appendix.
-
A maximum generation of 150% of the schedule only, would be allowed in a time block, for injection by wind, from the grid security point of view. For any generation above 150% of schedule, if grid security is not affected by the generation above 150%,, the only charge payable to the wind energy generator would be the UI charge applicable corresponding to 50- 50.02 HZ.
-
In case of solar generation no UI shall be payable/receivable by Generator. The host state shall bear the UI charges for any deviation in actual generation from the schedule. However, the net UI charges borne by the host State due to the solar generation, shall be shared among all the States of the country in the ratio of their peak demands in the previous month based on the data published by CEA, in the form of regulatory charge known as the Renewable Regulatory Charge operated through the Renewable Regulatory Fund as referred to in clause 5 above.. This provision shall be applicable,with effect from 1.1.2011, for new solar generating plants with capacity of 5 MW and above connected at connection point of 33 KV level and...
