Solar
Not every industrial or commercial consumer has the roof or land area for on-site solar. Open access and group captive structures let a facility procure power from a solar project built elsewhere, through regulatory routes that allow direct power procurement outside the standard discom supply.
We coordinate the process between consumers, project developers and the regulatory steps involved, so facilities without on-site space can still move to solar-sourced power.
Under open access, solar power is generated at a plant elsewhere, injected into the grid, and wheeled to the consumer's connection. The consumer's energy account is credited according to the applicable scheduling, settlement and — where permitted — banking rules. Check banking provisions under current state regulations.
Because the plant does not need to be on the consumer's premises, this route suits facilities with high consumption and little usable roof or land.
The landed cost of open access power is not just the generation tariff. Depending on the state and the arrangement, it can include transmission and wheeling charges, cross-subsidy surcharge, additional surcharge, banking charges and scheduling costs. Check each of these with the relevant state electricity regulatory commission.
A meaningful comparison sets that landed cost against the facility's current discom tariff for the same consumption profile, not against the headline generation price.
In a group captive arrangement, consumers hold equity in the generating company and consume a minimum share of its output, as defined in the Electricity Rules. Meeting those thresholds can change which surcharges apply. Check current ownership and consumption thresholds.
Because compliance is assessed over time, group captive structures need careful setup and ongoing monitoring — not just a one-time agreement.
We coordinate execution through qualified EPC and delivery partners rather than building or manufacturing in-house.
