ISTS Charge Waiver boosts interest in Solar Projects for businesses

The exemption of charges related to the interstate transmission system (ISTS) until June 30, 2025, for projects that are operational has sparked interest among commercial and industrial consumers to source electricity from solar projects connected to ISTS. In the current year's March, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) made revisions to the CERC (Sharing of Inter-State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations of 2020. This revision entails the removal of ISTS charges for renewable energy and pumped hydroelectric projects that commence operations before June 30, 2025. This elimination of charges not only reduces costs for project developers but also results in appealing tariffs for enterprises procuring power from open access solar projects linked to ISTS.
