Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) RPO is the obligation mandated by the SERC under the Act to purchase minimum quantum of Renewable Energy out of the total consumption by the ‘Obligated Entity’. Types - Solar and Non-solar Obligated Entity means the • Distribution Licensees • Open Access consumers • Consumers owning Captive Power Plants.
RPO Management Every Obligated Entity must meet its RPO by way of • Own generation or procurement of RE power from developer, OR • Purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), solar and non-solar from the Power Exchanges. • Combination of any of the above options. • Solar obligation can be met by purchase of Solar RECs only, but on non availability, can be substantiated by non solar RECs on permission from SERC.
RPO for RE consumers • If REC benefits are taken for a specified capacity of RE power, then it ceases to be green power and hence cannot be utilised for fulfilling RPO. • CPP user avails REC for his generation under consumption, then his consumption shall become obligated and hence RPO is applicable. • RECs received cannot be kept back for RPO fulfillment. They have to sell the RECs and buy RECs from the Power Exchange for RPO.
