Wind energy tariff to be increased
T. Ramakrishnan
CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) proposes to increase the tariff of wind energy (to be purchased by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board from promoters of wind energy generators) from Rs.2.90 a unit to Rs.3.40.
The current rate was fixed in May 2006. Comments or suggestions are invited on or before December 28, says a consultative paper prepared by the TNERC.
The proposed tariff will be applicable to new wind energy generators (WEG) to be commissioned in future. The rate is based on the assumption that the project capital cost will be Rs.5.35 crore, with a plant life of 20 years. It is planned to reduce the control period from three years to two.
As for revision of rates for existing wind energy generators, the Commission has retained the rates for now and will take a view after collecting exhaustive data on decline of efficiency of old wind energy generators and de-rating of their capacity utilisation factor from the Wind Mills Association and the TNEB.
They requested the Commission to revise the tariff before the control period of three years.
