NET PLUS
Total generation of electricity from the solar PV power plant will be metered through
a dedicated export energy meter for which the customer will be paid. The energy
import will be measured through a separate import energy meter.
The installed capacity of the Generating Facility shall not exceed the Contract
Demand of the Customer. The contract period is 20 yrs.
The customer connection proposal shall clearly indicate his expected generation
capacity and the expected maximum generation units per months. Any units generated
more than such agreed quantity will not be paid until the customer makes a request
for increased capacity.
The customer will be paid for his energy registered in the export meter at the export
tariff and be charged for import using the normal customer tariff. The current export
tariff is 22.00 Rs/kWh for the first 7 years and from the 8th year up to contract
period of 20 years, Rs 15.50.
In Net +Plus Scheme, the solar PV electricity generation facility will be metered
separately. The solar PV inverter output (generation facility output) should be
brought to the metering point where both import and export energy meters are located
in a separate meter cubical. The meter cubicle should be sealed properly to avoid
tampering. If the space of the existing meter location is not sufficient to install
another meter for energy export, the consumer should make necessary arrangements
to shift the metering point to a suitable location. The cost associated for shifting
the meter to a new location will be charged at the prevailing rate from the consumer
in addition to his Net + plus connection charge.
