UERC Allows Relocation of 4 MW Solar Project from Dharasu, Keeps Tariff Unchanged
UERC has permitted a 4 MW solar project to move from Dharasu to a new private site in Uttarakhand due to power evacuation constraints, while retaining the originally discovered tariff of Rs 3.88 per unit.
Current Summary
According to an mvapulse.com report, the Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (UERC) has formally permitted a 4 MW solar project to be relocated from its originally designated site in Dharasu, Uttarakhand, to a new private land parcel within the state. The commission cited severe power evacuation constraints at the Dharasu site that threatened the project's viability as grounds for departing from standard site-specific tender conditions. Despite the relocation, UERC has decided to retain the originally discovered tariff of Rs 3.88 per unit, a move intended to shield the developer from the financial risks typically associated with site shifts, such as higher land costs or the need for fresh grid connectivity approvals.
