 Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) requirements in India mandate that electricity entities (such as DISCOMs, open access consumers, and captive power producers) procure a certain percentage of their energy from renewable sources. RPO requirements are specific to different segments within the electricity supply chain—generation, transmission, and distribution. Here’s how these obligations typically apply across these segments: 1. Generation Segment : Renewable Energy Generation Targets : The generation segment is indirectly impacted by RPOs because they create a demand for renewable energy. This obligation requires generation companies to either directly produce or facilitate the production of renewable energy to meet the RPO demand from DISCOMs and other obligated entities. Solar and Non-Solar RPO : Power producers who operate coal-fired or non-renewable power plants often partner with renewable energy producers or set up their own renewable installations to meet RPO compliance. ...

What is Power for All ? (in simple terms) The "Power for All" initiative in India aims to provide reliable electricity access to every citizen, focusing on fulfilling basic needs and enhancing quality of life. India has been significantly expanding its transmission and distribution (T&D) infrastructure to achieve this, aiming to reach even the most remote regions, regardless of challenging geographical conditions. This includes overcoming hurdles such as mountainous terrain, dense forests, and scattered rural settlements, which require innovative engineering solutions and substantial investments. The program emphasizes both strengthening the grid and integrating renewable energy sources to ensure sustainable, universal electricity access. Introduction The "Power for All" initiative in India is a transformative mission aimed at ensuring that every household in the country has access to reliable electricity. This initiative not only seeks to fulfill the fundamenta...
