MNRE Unveils Landmark Reforms to Boost Domestic Production, NTPC to Conduct Feasibility Study for 130-MW Floating Solar Power Plant, And Much More...

NLC India Limited , a Navratna-Government of India Enterprise, has released an open tender for engaging a qualified coordinating agency (QCA) for their 1400 MW #solar and #wind power plant (REPP) located at various places in #TamilNadu. The purpose of this engagement is to comply with the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (TNERC) regulations on forecasting, scheduling, deviation settlement, and related matters for wind and solar generation. The contract duration is set for 24 months.

The Indian government has urged state electricity regulatory commissions (SERCs) to adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Electricity (Promoting Renewable Energy Through Green Energy Open Access) Rules, 2022. The rules were introduced to promote the use of renewable energy (RE) and accelerate the country’s RE programs. However, it has been observed that only a few states have determined the #greentariffs, and in some cases, these tariffs have been set higher than the average power purchase cost of #renewableenergy.

The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is set to embark on a feasibility study for a groundbreaking 130-megawatt (MW) #floatingsolar power plant on Dumbur Lake in Tripura’s Gomati district. This initiative aims to significantly bolster the state’s #renewableenergy capacity. Over the past five years, Tripura has already witnessed a commendable increase in #solarpower generation, surging from 4.07 MW to 7.21 MW.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has recently unveiled significant reforms in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) for solar photovoltaic modules. These reforms aim to streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance the ease of doing business in the #solarenergy sector. To promote efficiency, the validity period of ALMM enlistment has been extended from two years to four years. Additionally, the time limit for factory enlistment and final enlistment has been reduced to a mere two months.
