Powering India’s solar future through household demand flexibility
Effectively implementing solar-hour time of day tariff at the household level can add to the demand-side flexibility for India’s clean energy transition.
Summary
Solar-hour time of day tariff can align electricity consumption with solar generation patterns
Domestic consumers will account for ~31% of India’s electricity demand in 2031-32 but have limited avenues to contribute to the country’s clean energy shift. The Ministry of Power’s Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Amendment Rules, 2023 on solar-hour time of day tariff brings domestic consumers under its ambit and is set to take effect from April 1, 2025.
If implemented effectively, this shift could empower households to actively participate in India’s clean energy transition journey. This paper attempts to analyse the implication of this Rule in business-as-usual scenarios and provide the recommendations for its implementation based on the inferences drawn from the analysis.
