Bidding for wind energy pushed in Rajasthan

The Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission wants wind energy procured through competitive bidding from power plants commissioned in FY 2012-13 onwards.

 

This is already being done with solar power.

Significant wind power capacity already exists in the state based on purchases at preferential tariff, determined by the commission.

RERC stated that all the distribution companies of the state and Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited should take the required actions based on tariff determined by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission for purhasing solar power under the National Solar Mission.

RREC, as the nodal agency, is to inform all wind developers of the above decision, the electricity regulator has said.
