Treading ( gently ) on Solar Power Trading
Context :
CERC approves Integrated Day-ahead Market for Power / Eco Times / 19 Oct 2021
Extract :
Ø Power Regulator Central Electricity Regulatory Commission [ CERC ], on Sunday gave a go-ahead to DEVELOP an INTEGRATED day-ahead market for CONVENTIONAL electricity and RE-NEWABLE energy , as a major boost to GREEN PLANTS that will have two operations to sell their power
Ø Integration of the EXISTING day ahead market for CONVENTIONAL power with RENEWABLE energy would mean that there will be a two-stage day ahead market with SEPARATE PRICE FORMATION for green energy
MY TAKE :
Dear Shri R K Singhji
( Minister for Renewable Energy ),
This is just a small beginning / a small thrust for GREEN power ( but only for GRID SCALE Solar Power )
I believe a breakthrough in generation of ROOFTOP Solar can come, only when individual household owners can generate Rooftop Solar, AND be able to SELL the same on a Solar Power Trading Exchange
Towards this end, in the past, I have made following suggestions :
Ø Congratulations , Shri R K Singhji …………………………………………[ 19 Nov 2020 ]
Extract :
Ø This set-up will require NATIONAL SOLAR EXCHANGE in which ALL discoms will be mandated to become members
> Market-based Model for Renewable Energy ……………………………….[ 09 June 2021 ]
Extract :
# Introduce “ Co-operative Farming of Solar Power / CFSP “ { call it a kind of “ Contract Farming “ }
Incorporate this into just released FARM LAWS to encourage setting- up of :
“ Solar Power Farmer Cooperative Society “ along the lines of Dairy Farmers’ AMUL Milk
Cooperative Society
# Solar Farm company can “ Sell “ ownership rights of solar panels to individuals in modules of
1000 sq ft, (costing Rs 4- 6 lakh per module )
These rights can be sold / transferred to any buyer, only with prior permission of the
Solar Farm Company Concerned
# My nearest DISCOM will supply me those 10 KW, free of cost ( ie: deduct from my monthly usage )
Any excess over my actual consumption, to be credited to my account
Ø Not Good Enough ! …………………………………………………………….[ 02 Dec 2017 ]
Extract :
Ø Anyone can generate and SELL electricity, anytime and to anyone and at any price
==============================
Ø Congratulations , Shri Saurabh Patelji ………………………………..[ 31 Dec 2020 ]
Extract :
Ø Para # 4 :
Ø Consumers other than Residentials can set up Solar Projects on their Roof / Premises or can give
their roof / premises on lease to third party for generation & consumption of
power within or OUT
Ø Para # 6 :
Ø A group of consumers can set up solar projects for self-consumption as a COLLECTIVE
OWNERSHIP PROJECT and consume the generated solar energy IN THE RATIO of OWNERSHIP
==============================
Ø No Godfather for Rooftop Solar ? …………………………………………..[ 01 June 2021 ]
Extract :
Dear Shri R K Singhji ( Minister for Power ) :
Ø It is high time we stop limiting our SOLAR VISION HORIZON like a “ Frog in the Well “
Ø It is time to remember that the nomenclature : Roof Top Solar “ , somehow ties us down to the words
ROOF TOP , which is only just one of the locations which can be used to harness Solar Energy
Ø Solar Energy can also be harvested at other locations on Earth, such as FARMS , DESERTS, LAKES,
MOUNTAIN TOPS, HIGHWAYS , TRAIN TRACKS, etc., or even through solar panels farms in SPACE (
low earth orbits ? ), beaming electricity down to Earth-based receivers ( using micro-waves ? )
Ø We must break loose from the narrowly defined, Roof-Top Solar / Land-based Solar and latch on to the
all-encompassing concept of , SOLAR ENERGY TRADING INFRAST
