NEW DELHI, March 16 : India may ease proposed penalties on wind and solar power producers who fail to meet stricter grid-supply commitments, government minutes showed, after developers warned the changes could hurt revenue and slow clean-energy investment, reports Reuters.
The power regulator - the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission - proposed tighter rules for wind and solar power producers in a draft published in September.
The regulations aimed to gradually narrow the gap between the amount of electricity producers commit to supply and ?what they actually generate.
The new rules, which included hefty penalties for missing grid-supply commitments, were supposed to come into effect from April 2026.
In a meeting with the country's power and clean energy ministers in late January, India's clean energy developers warned that the stricter rules could lead to significant revenue losses, the minutes showed. Earlier, many industry stakeholders had written to the regulator, saying that the proposed plan would slow investment in clean energy.
