The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) has decided not to charge any wheeling charges on transmission of solar energy.
This is as part of the Commission’s bid to promote solar energy based power generation and transmission through the grid
For the wheeling of power, generated from other non-conventional energy sources, within the state, the existing wheeling charges at 5% of the injected energy will continue during 2012-13.
Various other relief measures are also in place.
At the same time, if energy from renewable sources is wheeled from the state to consumers outside the state, normal wheeling charges ranging from Rs 0.21 per unit to Rs 0.69 per unit will apply.
