CERC has proposed a draft CERC (Connectivity and General Network Access to the inter-State Transmission System) (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2025 on 3rd March, 2025. The draft regulation has captured various issues such as connectivity with restricted access, Solar hour Connectivity and Non-Solar hour connectivity through the same transmission system, revision of solar hours by NLDC etc.

We have some comments on a few of the issues details of which can be found in the attached document. The suggestions are broadly listed below.

  1. Application for connectivity during non-solar hours
  2. Revision of Solar Hours
  3. Changes in shareholding pattern of the Connectivity grantee
