The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission proposes to increase the tariff rate of wind energy from Rs 2.90 unit to Rs 3.40. The tariff will be levied for energy generated using the Wind Energy Generators(WEG). This project would cost the board around Rs 5.35 crore for which the tariff would be charged. In the paper issued by TNERC , the commission has called for suggestions or responses on or before Dec 28.
The capacity addition of energy generated in the state has declined compared to states like Gujarat and Andhra.
