INTRODUCTION - ROOFTOP SOLAR POWER

The grid connected rooftop solar photovoltaic power generation plants, generates electricity at the consumer  point and hence contributes to reducing the network losses of the distribution. The electricity generation shall also contribute to meeting the demand and supply gap and shall also enable the obligated entities for complying with their solar purchase obligation targets as specified by Electricity Regulatory Commissions'. PV grid connected systems generate power during the daytime and feed excess power to the grid. In case, where solar power is not sufficient due to cloud cover etc., the captive loads are served by drawing power from the grid. Ideally, grid interactive systems do not require battery back-up as grid acts as the back-up for feeding excess solar power and vice-versa.

To promote the Rooftop Solar Plants, the Govt. of Punjab  had already notified the Net Metering Policy on 26.8.2014 which will help to maximize the use of Solar Energy in decentralized mode. All the PSPCL consumers have the option to install the Solar Photovoltaic Plant on the rooftop/vacant spaces in the capacity range 1 KWp to 1000 KWp but not more than 80% of the sanctioned load. The power generated from the solar plant shall utilize the existing service line for excess power injection / drawl to the grid. The consumers will be able to offset their power consumption from the grid by producing solar power which will be accounted through bi-directional meters to be installed by PSPCL. Solar energy offers clean, climate-friendly abundant and inexhaustible energy resource to mankind.

Benefits:

  • Reduction in bill, as the bill is issued by PSPCL after adjustment of export and import of power.
  • Generation of environment friendly, clean energy.
  • Consumer becomes generator for his own electricity requirements.
  • Reduction in electricity consumption from the grid.
  • If exported power is more than the consumed power then it would be accounted and set-off in the settlement period of October to September.
  • The electricity duty/ octroi etc. shall be levied only on the billed amount after adjustment of import and export of power.
  • Surplus power is supplied to the grid of PSPCL, thus, helps in eliminating shortage power shortage.
  • As on March 2020, the Rooftop Solar Plant under Net Metering scheme of capacity 63.5 MW have been installed in the State. During 2019-20, the Rooftop Solar Power Plant on major Govt. Buildings such as BBMB Nangal, Govt. Bikram College Patiala, Amritsar & Jalandhar Smart Cities, Vigilance Bhawan Mohali, Punjab Technical University Jalandhar, Home Guard Patiala, Govt. College Derabassi & Mohali, Zila Parishad, Bathinda has been installed.
  •  In addition, 60.5 MW capacity Rooftop solar power projects are setup in the State for sale of power to PSPCL and world's largest rooftop solar PV project of 19.5 MW capacity at Dera Beas in Amritsar, have been successfully commissioned and are in operation. 
  • It is informed that the Phase-II Grid Connected Rooftop Solar programme for residential sector is being implemented by DISCOM i.e. PSPCL since February, 2019 as per direction of MNRE, GOI. As per the scheme 40% subsidy is available for setting up of the plant upto 3KW capacity and 20% is available for the plants the capacity upto 10 KW.
  • PEDA had selected the companies for setting up of 10MW Rooftop Solar Power Plants on Govt. building through RESCO Model. The rate discovered under RESCO model is Rs. 4.27 per KWh. 
  • The installation of 6.5 MW capacity of Rooftop Solar Power plant on Govt Buildings such as MC Bathinda, BBMB Talwara, Ludhiana Smart City is under process.

INTRODUCTION - SOLAR POWER PROJECTS

Punjab is endowed with vast potential of solar energy with over 300 days of sunshine in a year with insulation level varying between 4-7 Kwh/sq.km. This Renewable Energy Source is being efficiently exploited by PEDA. With these projects located closer to the load at rural remote locations, distribution losses have been reduced considerably and voltage drop at peak at time load has been minimized. This form of energy would mitigate carbon dioxide emissions and combat change.

Since the State of Punjab has immense potential for quality solar irradiation, harnessing of this resource can be best suited to meet the energy requirements of the posteriority. Fiscal and financial incentives are being provided by the State under the NRSE Policy to encourage private sector participation in this area noticeably in terms of assured buy back of power by State utility. This energy can be utilized for generation of power during the day time .Punjab has so far been maximum meeting its electrical power requirements primarily through conventional large thermal . Solar Power Plant are set up in the State of Punjab on BOO Basis for sale of power to PSPCL  by signing long term power purchase agreement . PEDA had set up the Grorund Mounted Solar Plants in three Phase's and the total Capacity installed in the State as on date is 815.5 MW.

INCENTIVES UNDER THE NRSE POLICY 2012:


Punjab facilitates the setting up of RE Projects on Build Own Operate basis under the NRSE Policy-2012. A slew of incentives are provided to the interested developers to invest and setup RE projects and the major incentives includes:-

  • 100% Stamp Duty exemption both on land purchase/lease.
  • CLU & EDC charges exempted.
  • 100% Electricity Duty Exemption on power consumed during construction of NRSE Projects.
  • 100% Exemption on Pollution & Environment Clearance on Solar Projects.
  • Wheeling of RE power at a uniform charge of 2% of the energy fed to the grid under Intra-State Open Access.
  • Panchayats land can be provided on lease for setting-up of NRSE projects.
