The Ministry of New and Renewable Vitality (MNRE) has up to date its 2016 coverage for repowering wind energy tasks, aiming to simplify the method of changing older generators. The ‘Nationwide Repowering and Life Extension Coverage for Wind Energy Tasks 2023′ permits the substitute of older generators with extra environment friendly ones, even previous to reaching the conclusion of their design life, by making modifications to elements like gearbox, blades, generator, and controller. Utilizing the newest onshore wind turbine applied sciences, the coverage seeks to maximise the power yield per sq. km within the undertaking space with the intention to optimise the environment friendly use of wind power sources.
In response to the coverage, repowering tasks could be categorised both as standalone or aggregation tasks. Till the ability buy settlement (PPA) expires, electrical energy procurement will likely be primarily based on the common era of the earlier three years. The present PPA tenure will likely be prolonged for as much as two years, or for a time period equal to the refurbishment or repowering. The present distribution firm (discom) isn’t entitled to any authority or procurement over the excess energy produced, following repowering or refurbishment. The developer has the pliability to promote the excess energy generated as per their selection, whether or not via the ability trade, bilateral agreements, or by partaking in brief/medium/long-term PPA in accordance with prevailing legal guidelines and laws. There isn’t a necessary obligation to provide the ability to any discom or procurer at fastened charges. Repowering or refurbishment initiatives must be operational inside 24 months from the issuance of the consent letter.
