From Management‘s Desk

In May, the Supreme Court pronounced its judgment on applicability of RPO on Captive and Open Access. This order is likely to prove to be a landmark judgment for the REC market. The effects of this judg-ment were already visible with the sudden rise in demand of RECs in May trading session.

May was also the month for various regulatory updates and tariff or-ders – notably important orders on RPO by MP, new retail tariffs an-nounced by Haryana, Punjab Solar Policy, Jharkhand Draft Solar Poli-cy and new RE tariffs in Punjab.

RECs trading saw huge demand compared to last month, and similar months last year. Overall the clearing ratios for both Solar and Non-solar improved compared to previous month. This is all attributed to SC order on RPO and enforcement by some states. We expect the demand will improve in the coming months.

We hope this volume to be an insightful read, and as always, look forward to your feedback.

On May 13, 2015 the Supreme Court pronounced a

landmark judgment on the applicability of Renewa-

ble Purchase Obligations (RPO) regulations.

The case in question is Hindustan Zinc Vs Rajasthan

Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC).

Background

In August 2012, the Rajasthan High Court had dis-

missed an appeal by Hindustan Zinc Ltd., Ambuja

Cements Ltd., Grasim Industries Ltd. and 14 other

companies that challenged RPO regulations enact-

ed by the state regulator (Rajasthan Electricity Reg-

ulatory Commission; RERC).

The key points contested by captive (CPP) and open

access (OA) users in the petition were:

RERC did not have the authority to pass the or-

der of RPO and impose surcharge (penalty) as

CPP and OA were completely de-licensed activi-

ties under the Electricity Act 2003 (EA 2003).

EA 2003 only allows RPO on the ‘total consump-

tion in the area of the distribution licensee’ and

therefore intends to apply RPO on distribution

licensees only.

The High Court rejected the petition stating:

The word ‘total consumption’ has been used in

the EA 2003, and should be considered as total

consumption in the area of distribution licensee

in all modes. Total consumption has to be seen

by consumers of distribution licensee, captive

power plants and on supply through distribution

licensee. It cannot be inferred by mention of ar-

ea of distribution licensee that only consumers

of the distribution licensee are included.

The objective behind imposition of RE obligation is

in the greater public interest. The constitution casts

duty on the Regulatory Commission to protect and

improve the natural environment. This duty can be

imposed on CPP and OA as well.

The above order of the Rajasthan High Court was chal-

lenged in the Supreme Court.

Order of the Supreme Court

In its order, the Supreme court dismissed the appeal of

the petitioners, and upheld the RPO regulations made

by RERC.

The court stated several important points in its judg-

ment:

Imposing RPO is desirable in the larger public inter-

est. The court observed that:

“…The Right to live with healthy life guaranteed under

Article 21 of the Constitution of India, it has also been

interpreted by this Court. It includes the Right to live in

a pollution free environment and laid down the law in a

catena of cases…”

And

SC upholds Rajasthan HC judgement

on applicability of RPO.

It said “RPO applicability on captive

and open access consumers is well

within the ambit of the Electricity Act

2003”.

Will provide for stricter enforcement

in states.

“The impugned Regulations fall within the four cor-

ners of the Act of 2003 as well as Electricity Policy,

2005. The object of imposing RE Obligation is pro-

tection of environment and preventing pollution by

utilising Renewable Energy Sources as much as pos-

sible in larger public interest.”

And further:

“The Coal dominates the Thermal Power Generation

which results in Green House Gases resulting in glob-

al warming. The said facts were brought to our no-

tice that the same would certainly justify the case of

the RERC in framing the impugned Regulation to

achieve the object of the Act and the Constitution by

imposing RE obligation on the captive gencos.”

RPO applicability on captive and open access

consumers is well within the ambit of the Elec-

tricity Act 2003.

“The High Court has considered the submissions of

the appellants and has rightly rejected the same on

the ground that the RE obligation imposed on the

captive gencos under the impugned Regulations is

neither ultra vires nor violative of the provisions of

the Act of 2003 and cannot in any manner be re-

garded as a restriction on the fundamental rights

guaranteed to the appellants under the Constitu-

tion.”

Cost of fulfilling the obligation cannot be held

above the larger public interest.

“The purchase of nominal quantum of energy from

renewable resources cannot adversely affect the

cost effectiveness of the Captive Power Plant. More-

over, the object being reduction of pollution by pro-

moting renewable source of energy, larger public

interest must prevail over the interest of the indus-

try….”

As a result of the above findings, the court dis-

missed the appeal.

“Upon consideration of the rival submissions by the

well-reasoned order, the High Court has rightly up-

held the validity of the impugned Regulation and

we do not find any reason to interfere with the im-

pugned judgment. All the appeals are dismissed as

the same are devoid of merit.”

Implications of the order

This order is likely to have far-reaching implications

on the enforcement of RPO regulations.

Stay by HC in various states may become redun-

dant: Till date, the enforcement of RPO regula-

tions has been lax due to various reasons. One of

the reasons has been the stay granted by various

High Courts like in the case of Gujarat (recently

vacated), MP and Tamil Nadu, among others.

With the Supreme Court now ruling in favor of

imposition of RPO, the existing stay may become

redundant.

Enable stronger enforcement: Further, the order is

likely to provide support to the state electricity regu-

lators to impose RPO regulations more forcefully and

effectively.

PSERC (Punjab) Finalizes Solar Rooftop (Net Me-

tering) Regulation

The Punjab Electricity Regulatory Commission (PSERC) has

recently (on 7th May 2015) finalized the Net Metering

Regulation for Grid Interactive Solar Rooftop Systems. The

regulation will allow electricity consumers of the state to

generate solar energy and to consume such generate en-

ergy for their internal use and to feed the remaining sur-

plus solar energy into the distribution system. The regula-

tion will come in force from the date of publication of the

same in official gazette.

The main features of the regulation are given in the

points below:

The solar rooftop system to be installed can be self

owned system or a third party owned system.

The solar rooftop systems shall be of Min. 1kWp ca-

pacity and Max. 1Mwp capacity with or without bat-

tery backup.

The Discom shall offer the provision of Net Metering

to the consumer who intends to install rooftop sys-

tems on first come first serve basis.

A maximum cumulative capacity at a particular distri-

bution transformer shall not exceed 30% of the rated

capacity of the distribution transformer.

The capacity of an individual rooftop PV system shall

not exceed 80% of the sanctioned load of the con-

sumer.

The quantum of energy consumed from the rooftop

system will be considered towards the Renewable Pur-

chase Obligation (RPO) of Distribution licensee if the

consumer is not an obligated entity.

PSERC earlier notified its draft regulation and invited

comments from stake holders and interested parties, fol-

lowing that the commission has finalized the regulation.

The regulation seems to be a good sign for development

of solar energy in the state as the PEDA (Punjab Energy

Development Agency) has already announced its policy

for rooftop solar energy systems.

REC Market Update

In May’s trading session, 256,579 Non Solar and 83,189 Solar REC’s were traded through Power Exchange (a total of

339,768 REC’s), which was more than 4 times the traded volume in April. The significant jump appears as a direct re-

sult of the Supreme Court judgment. The SC gave its judgment upholding the applicability of RPO on open access

and captive consumers. The judgment is expected to have far-reaching impact as stay on RPO in many states will be-

come redundant. It is also expected that SERC will take a more stringent approach to RPO enforcement.

Non Solar RECs

Total of 2.5 Lakh REC’s were cleared in this trading session. IEX and PXIL had a clearing ratio of 3.6% and 0.4%. Non

Solar REC’s traded were approx.3.5 time’s higher w.r.t previous month.

reaucrat told Reuters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to quintuple India's renewable energy capacity to 175

GW’s by 2022, making clean energy part of his fight against climate change without necessarily committing to a

timeline for emission cuts. Source: Reuters.

Green power gets a big push

The ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE), housed in New Delhi’s CGO Complex, was always the least visi-
