To promote off-grid energy in remote and low-population density areas, the Forum of Regulators (FOR), has mooted an off-grid distributed generation-based distribution franchisee model.
Under the model, a developer would set up an off-grid project and supply power and recover rate fixed by the state electricity regulatory commission (SERC).
The developer can act as a franchisee of the distribution company, and the agreement between the distribution licensee and the developer would guarantee recovery to the extent of feed in tariff. Such generation and consumption of power from off-grid project would relax renewable purchase obligation of the distribution licensee.
