Gujarat proposes new feed-in tariff rates for PV projects
Gujarat is pushing for new feed-in tariff rates covering PV projects commissioned from January 29, 2012 until March 31, 2015.
These new rates range from INR10.27 or US$0.21 to INR13.14 per kWh or US$0.268 and are applicable for ground-mounted, rooftop and concentrating solar power systems.
Should the proposed rates be confirmed, CSP projects will be eligible to receive levelized tariff payments between INR12.45 or US$0.252 and INR13.14 or US$0.266 per kWh, while systems over 100kW are in line for tariffs from INR10.37 or US$0.21 to INR10.92 or US$0.221 per kWh.
Rooftop projects under 100kW will still receive the greatest assistance, with subsidies ranging from INR12.6 or (US$0.255 to INR13.24 or US$0.268 per kWh. The deadline for feedback on the new FiT is December 1.
