LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) has released the draft UPERC (Captive and Renewable Generating Plants) Regulations, 2024, outlining key provisions to promote renewable energy generation and streamline captive power policies in line with the Electricity Act, 2003.

The draft regulation, which will replace the existing 2019 regulations, includes several significant changes, particularly in areas of energy banking, tariff determination, and fuel pricing.

The draft, available on the Commission's website, proposes differentiated banking provisions for renewable energy (RE) and non-RE captive plants, aligning them with the Green Energy Open Access Rules of the Ministry of Power. Captive plants are power plants set up by a company (like sugar mills) to meet its own energy requirements before selling the surplus to an external source.

Emission rules may be delayed for 25-75 hp tractors

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: India is in the advanced stages of finalising the next phase of emission norms for tractors and may delay the rollout of the stricter rules for models in the 25-75 horsepower (hp) range, following lobbying by manufacturers who have argued that tighter standards could raise compliance costs and make these machines more expensive for small farmers, two industry executives aware of the matter said.
