“Ministry of Power (MoP) and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India have provided various policy level directions for promoting renewable energy and its large-scale grid integration. The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has provided the Regulatory Framework through the CERC REC Regulations. The enabling policy and regulatory framework have facilitated the implementation of the REC Mechanism in the country.
POSOCO is grateful to CERC for recognizing and placing the trust on NLDC to perform the roles and responsibilities of the Central Agency of the REC mechanism. The support received from CERC on matters of regulations, various orders, approval of procedures for implementing the pan-India REC mechanism successfully, is duly acknowledged. At the same time, without the acknowledgement of the support extended by the concerned SERCs, State Agencies, SLDCs and Power Exchanges, the REC mechanism would not have achieved the success gained over the years.
POSOCO is also grateful to Forum of Regulators (FOR) for initiating the study for feasibility of REC mechanism and approval of the model REC regulations for streamlining the Accreditation process across various States. I take immense delight in extending my acknowledgement to M/s CRISIL Risk and Infrastructure Solutions Limited for technical support with regard to development, maintenance, modifications in the software as per CERC Regulations, subsequent amendments and orders in the REC web application. The detailed analysis of the information available with the Central Agency has been carried out and the same has been shared in the report. I hope that this report would be able to meet the expectation of the readers including subject experts and to provide them useful insights about the working of the REC mechanism in India.”
