India’s wind and solar generators will face higher penalties from April 2027, a year later than planned, when they provide either more or less electricity than they are scheduled to \u200csupply \u2060to the \u2060grid, an order by the country’s power regulator says.<\/p>\n

The “deviation charges” apply when differences in generation compared with the scheduled supply force grid operators to curb power generated from other plants to stabilise the \u2060system.
The \u200cnew regulations aim to gradually narrow the gap between the amount of electricity \u2060producers<\/a> commit to supply and what they supply in reality, the order dated March 31 showed. <\/p>\n

Wind and solar generators already face deviation charges, but the new order will increase them under a complex calculation.<\/p>\n

Industry groups had said stricter regulations \u200ccould lead to revenue loss and limit investor interest in India’s clean energy sector.<\/p>\n

The government initially said the penalties for missing grid supply would take effect from April 2026, but they have been delayed by a year after the clean energy ministry asked theregulator to review industry concerns. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"India’s wind and solar generators will face higher penalties from April 2027, a year later than planned, when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[72,113,169337,61,60,169336,17213,7617,49409,14203],"class_list":{"0":"post-378635","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-electricity-producers","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-solar-electricity","14":"tag-solar-energy","15":"tag-solar-power","16":"tag-wind-energy","17":"tag-wind-power"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
