CERC Approves ₹3.25–₹3.26/kWh Tariff for SECI’s 600 MW ISTS‑Connected Wind‑Solar Hybrid Projects

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has approved tariffs for the Solar Energy Corporation of India's (SECI) 600 MW inter-state transmission system (ISTS)-connected wind-solar hybrid projects under Tranche IX. 

Tariffs of ₹3.25/kWh have been fixed for projects awarded at that price, and ₹3.26/kWh for the remaining capacity. 

While SECI sought a ₹0.07/kWh trading margin, CERC declined it, stating that such details will be governed by Power Sale Agreements between SECI and distribution companies. 

The Commission also resolved issues related to the adoption of the tariff, trading margin, and payment security mechanism.
