System Access Charge (SAC)
Can lower System Access Charge (SAC) for Longer-Hour Batteries be considered?
What is the System Access Charge (SAC) for Non-Solar Technologies (e.g., Biomass/Biogas)?
What are the components in SAC?
Energy Selling and Excess Energy
How is the excess energy of GEP due to the imbalance of generation and consumption determined?
i. The generation of GEP is higher than the consumption of GC at any point of time as per Clause 6.11; or
ii. The total actual generation of GEP exceeds the total consumption of GC, which is calculated on the last day of the month, regardless of hourly generation and consumption as per Clause 8.12?
What is excess energy?
Is there a time limit on the duration to Sell Excess Energy at 8 sen/kWh?
Is switching from Non-Firm to Firm Over Time allowed?
Clarity on Firm and Non-Firm
If a Power Plant type with FIRM output is submitted during the application stage, does RED require declaring the monthly energy output, which will be subjected to the excess energy clause?
The energy storage capacity shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the GEP registered capacity. The registered capacity refers to Solar Farm AC capacity or export capacity?
