CERC addresses issues in grid code implementation

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has addressed various concerns and issues related to the implementation of the CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2023, which became effective on October 1, 2023. Several entities, including NHPC, SJVN, NTPC, THDC India, Grid-India, and Northeast Regional Power Committees (NERPC), raised specific concerns and sought clarification on certain aspects of the Grid Code.

These issues included scheduling of generating units, revision of estimated restoration times, revision of declared capacity, obligation to supply in case of a unit shutdown, revision of schedule for renewable energy generators under T-GNA, a trial run of a pumped storage project, consent to a generator for scheduling in the day-ahead market, the transition from STOA to T-GNA regime, and first-time energisation and integration of new power system elements.

The CERC provided detailed clarifications and resolutions for each of these concerns, ensuring that the Grid Code's implementation aligns with practical needs and operational requirements in the electricity grid sector. These clarifications aim to enhance grid efficiency and reliability while addressing challenges raised by various stakeholders in the industry.
