Determination of generic levellised tariffs for Solar PV Projects (Draft) under Regulation 17 of the Himachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission


The tariff so determined in respect the current financial year shall apply for the FY 2016-17 also in cases where PPA is signed by 31.03.2016 and the entire capacity covered by the PPA is commissioned on or before 31.03.2017. The Commission however observes that since there can be situations in which the PPA for a particular capacity is signed by 31.03.2016, but the capacity covered by the PPA may not be commissioned fully or partly on or before 31.03.2017, it may be appropriate to address the matter as a part of conditionalties attached with the tariff.

Himachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (HPERC) (Draft) proposed tariff will be applicable for the projects signed on or before 31st March 2016 and the entire capacities are commissioned on or before 31 March 2017.


Comments and suggestions of the stakeholders on the above proposal/draft order are invited by 16th July, 2015, so that the comments and suggestions so received are also considered, while finanlizing the generic levellised Solar PV tariff and the associated terms and conditions.
