The Bombay High Court stayed the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company’s (MSEDCL) restriction on the use of banked renewable energy for solar hours. It ruled that the older multi-year tariff framework, allowing renewable energy use anytime except during peak hours, would hold. The court had earlier issued an interim judgment, staying the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (MERC) review order restricting banked renewable energy usage to the same time-of-day slot and solar hours. The High Court rejected MSEDCL’s argument that the old rules could not automatically revive after its stay on the MERC review order.
