Govt’s step to facilitate Renewable Energy integration in the national interconnected grid
-Construction of intra-state and inter-state transmission systems for evacuation of Renewable power
-Innovative products like solar-wind hybrid projects, RE projects with energy storage systems, and supply of RE Power balanced with power from non-RE sources launched to reduce intermittency.
-Waiver of Inter-State Transmission Charges on Transmission of the Electricity generated from Solar and Wind Sources of Energy.
-Setting up of Regional Energy Management Centers (REMCs) for accurate forecasting of renewable power and assisting grid operators to manage variability and intermittency of renewable power.
-Flexibility in Generation and Scheduling of Thermal/Hydro Power Stations through bundling with Renewable Energy and Storage Power.
-Implementation of Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM) and Green Day Ahead Market (GDAM) for sale of renewable energy.
