PowerMin issues electricity rules, eases open access and transmission
The Union Ministry of Power issued Electricity (amendment) Rules, 2024, under the aegis of the Electricity Act, 2003 on Monday, aiming at reducing the hassles of electricity supply for large corporate and green energy sectors.
The rules now allow consumers which have specified energy load and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to establish, operate and maintain their dedicated transmission lines themselves without the requirement of licence. The rule covers those companies/person who have load more than 25 megawatt and 10 megawatt on inter-state and intra-state transmission network.
