In continuation of several initiatives to promote clean and green energy by the Government of India, the Union Minister of Power and New & Renewable Energy, RK Singh, has launched the Green Energy Open Access Portal.

Any consumer with a connected load of 100 kW or above can get Renewable Energy through open access from any Renewable Energy generating plant set up by themself; or by any developer. The open access has to be granted within 15 days. The application for open access can be made on this portal. The portal can be accessed for processing of applications related to green energy open access by the stakeholders including open access participants, traders, Power Exchanges, National / Regional / State Load Despatch Centres, and Central/State transmission utilities. The portal provides a transparent, simplified, uniform and streamlined procedure for granting open access to green energy that will be key to facilitating the deepening of electricity markets and enabling the integration of Renewable Energy (RE) resources into the grid.

Ministry of Power notified the Electricity (Promoting Renewable Energy through Green Energy Open Access) Rules, 2022 on 6th June 2022. These rules aim at the promotion of the generation, purchase and consumption of green energy including the energy from waste-to-energy plants.
