Common electricity consumers can now become electricity generators

Common electricity consumers will now be able to become electricity generators. In order to encourage roof top solar power projects, the Electricity Regulatory Commission has clarified that up to 5 megawatts of electricity will be fed into the grid through net metering. Thus, consumers can come together and install solar panels on the roofs of their houses, godowns, factories and supply the thousands of units of electricity produced there throughout the day to the distribution company. . So the concerned will be able to get financial income.

A large amount of pollution occurs during the generation of electricity through coal-fired thermal power plants. Also due to scarcity of water there are limitations on generating electricity from hydropower plants. Therefore, non-conventional energy generation is being encouraged. As a part of that, by setting up a roof top solar project, the electricity generated through it can be used by the customer so far. Also, the remaining electricity is fed into the grid through net metering. Until now, only one megawatt of electricity could be fed into the grid through net metering. So there were limitations on roof top solar power generation. But now the Electricity Commission has made it clear that consumers can set up group roof top solar plants and feed up to five megawatts of electricity generated by them into the grid. Roof top solar projects in the state will be boosted by the Electricity Commission's increase in the cap on feeding electricity into the grid through net metering.
