Ministry of Power has issued draft rules to set up a central pool for sale of renewable power to DISCOMs at an average tariff and propose methodology to determine fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge.
| Applicability | All ISTS renewable power projects (with or without storage) and DISCOMs |
| Central pool for renewable power | Central pool for each renewable power technology would be set up, for a period of five years, for sale of power to DISCOMs. |
| Uniform renewable power tariff | Average monthly tariff would be determined based on PPA tariff of individual projects and actual power supplied in a month. |
| DISCOMs would be billed at average monthly tariff and a trading margin approved by relevant regulator and on basis of actual power supplied. | |
| Developers would be paid as per PPA tariffs. | |
| Fuel and power purchase adjustment surcharge (FPPAS) | FPPAS would be determined every month based on formula approved by state regulator. It would be billed automatically to consumers. |
| FPPAS must be determined and charged to consumers within two months of actual variation or DISCOM would forfeit right to charge FPPAS for that month. | |
| Energy storage projects | Energy storage projects may be developed with a power generation project or on standalone basis. |
| Operation of standalone energy storage system would be considered a delicensed activity. | |
| Energy storage projects may be developed/ owned/ leased/ operated by a power producer/ DISCOM/ TRANSCO/ system operator. | |
| Other highlights | Cross subsidy surcharge would not exceed 20% of average cost of supply. |
