India has proposed providing a grant of up to INR3.75 million per MW (US$54,100) to encourage distribution companies to support net metering of rooftop solar on their networks.
Yesterday, the Nevada Supreme Court unanimously ruled against a popular rooftop solar referendum for the upcoming 8 November ballot that could have restored net metering rates to their former, more favourable state by amending the Commission’s legislative authority.
The Delhi government approved its first solar policy this month with a particular focus on the rooftop segment. Jyoti Gulia, senior manager, market intelligence, at consultancy firm Bridge to India, explains how the policy brings some innovative firsts to India especially in net metering.
