Jaipur: The state electricity regulator extended the implementation date of new net metering norms for solar rooftop projects that restricts the benefits only to the household consumers and bars commercial projects having more than 10 kilowatt capacity.
The new norms were to kick off from July 1. As per the order issued by Rajasthan Electricity Regulator Commission (RERC), the new norms will be effective from September 15. In the meantime, the Union ministry of power on Wednesday increased the threshold for rooftop solar projects up to 500kw instead of 10kw for net metering benefits.
In the order dated June 30, RERC said that it has received representations from the stakeholders that due to second wave of Covid-19 pandemic, the implementation of the projects under the different execution stages have come to a halt. They have requested the commission to extend the date June 30, 2021 at least by another three months, it added.
