Chhattisgarh Commission Grants Solar Power Connectivity Amid Regulatory Challenges In a recent decision by the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission (CSERC), M/s. Fortune Metals Limited, a consumer of Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited (CSPDCL), sought relaxation of connectivity norms for their new solar PV power plant. The company, located in Raipur’s Siltara Industrial Area, aimed to connect its 2.256 MWp solar facility to the grid via an existing 33 KV feeder, known as the C.G. Ispat Feeder. The issue arose because the existing Grid Code mandated that all generators, including captive plants, must connect through dedicated lines to ensure grid stability and reliability. However, M/s. Fortune Metals Limited […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dQ-UR52E #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #middleeast #africa #india #asiapacific #asia #chhattisgarh #cserc #india #regulatoryaffairs #solarenergy

BOOM IN SOLAR INDUSTRY IN INDIA Overview of the industry ^ India is the 4th largest power producer in the world ^ Rajasthan, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Telangana are in the Top 5 states in the solar power production ^ Small in market size. ^ High growth opportunity ^ Lack of Awareness in the market ^ People think High investments and take it lightly ^ Cost of production is reducing YOY ^ Installed solar power production capacity is 55 GW ^ Plan is to make at least 50% of the power to be produced from renewable energy by 2040 ^ By the year end 2040, expected reduction in the solar power production cost is 52%. ^ Market is expected to grow at a CAGR > 35% between 2024-2029 Below are the source of Power in India Coal based - 53% Hydro - 13% Wind - 10% Solar - 14% Other 10% Growth drivers for the Solar Industry are •      Cost of Power bill is increasing day by day To consumer •      Government FDI policy in solar energy ( 100% ) •      Increase of population in the country •      Growing Market •      Low knowledge to the people on renewable market •      Scarcity of natural resources for coal and Hydro in future •      Govt Subsidy – Cost is reducing for initial investment •      Cost of initial investment is decreasing YOY •      Cost of producing solar energy is decreasing by 15% YOY •      Low maintenance •      ROI will come in 3-4 years approx. •      Loan will be available at low Interest •      Make in India policy helps in reducing the import from other countries Best wishes to the solar industry for the growth in the coming years #SuryodayaYojana #solarempowerment #renewableenergy #renewables #renewable #tprel #sustainability #solarpanels #solarpanel #solarpanelsystem #waareeSolar #Luminouspowertechnologies #greenenergy #tatapowerrenewables #adanisolar #adanigroup #vikramsolar #pvmodules #solarpv
