The Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission proposed an amendment that mandates energy storage systems (ESS) for all new renewable energy projects, except for hydroelectric power projects, with an installed capacity of more than 5 MW. Such projects must install at least ESS for 5% of the renewable energy capacity (at least 2 hours of storage). The Commission has invited comments from stakeholders before September 29, 2025. The state transmission utility will serve as the nodal agency to process bilateral long-term and medium-term green energy open access applications at the intrastate level. The state load dispatch centre will process all short-term green energy open access applications.
