IN THE MATTER OF: SUO-MOTO DETERMINATION OF PRE-FIXED LEVELISED TARIFF UNDER COMPONENT-A OF PRADHAN MANTRI KISAN URJA SURAKSHA EVAM UTTHAN MAHABHIYAN (PM-KUSUM) SCHEME
1. Government of India had launched the PM-KUSUM Scheme comprising the following components:
(a) Component-A: Setting up of 10,000 MW of Decentralized Ground Mounted Grid Connected Solar Power plants of individual plant size upto 2 MW;
(b) Component-B: Installation of 17.50 Lakh Standalone Solar Powered Agriculture Pumps of individual capacity upto 7.5 HP; and
(c) Component-C: Solarisation of 10 Lakh Grid-Connected Agriculture Pumps of individual pump capacity upto 7.5 HP.
2. Under Component-A, solar or other renewable energy-based power plants of capacity 500 kW to 2 MW will be setup by individual
farmers/ group of farmers/ cooperatives/ panchayats/ Farmer Producer Organisations /Water User Associations, preferably within five kilo metre radius of the sub-stations. In specific cases, the power plants of capacity less than 500 kW may also be allowed. In case the farmers/ group of farmers/ cooperatives/ panchayats/ Farmer Producer Organisations/ Water User Associations etc. are not able to arrange equity for setting up of the project, they can opt for developing the project through developer(s) or through local Distribution Company. The detailed guidelines are available on the website of the Commission www.tserc.gov.in.
3. Though the Scheme is for setting up of solar or other renewable energy-based power plants, the Commission initially proposes the following norms for pre-fixed levelised tariff determination of solar plants of capacity 500 kW to 2 MW under Component-A
4. The pre-fixed levelised tariff computed for solar projects in accordance with the above specified parameters is Rs. 3.13/kWh. The computations for the same have been enclosed.
5. These pre-fixed levelised tariffs shall be applicable for the solar projects of capacity 500 kW to 2 MW commissioned under Component-A of the PM-KUSUM Scheme, subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme.
6. Suggestions and comments are invited from all stakeholders and public at large, so as to reach the following address on or before 07.11.2020 by 5.00 P.M.
