REMCs for grid integration to be commissioned soon

All eleven Renewable Energy Management Centres (REMCs) originally envisaged to be commissioned in 2018-2019 will soon be integrated and commissioned. These REMCs are critical to the viability of India’s clean energy mission as they will facilitate grid integration of large scale renewable energy.

According to officials in the know, REMCs in the southern and western region have been commissioned. The northern region REMC is in the final stages of completion and will be operational soon.

Under this project, seven REMCs in renewable energy-rich States of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu, three in northern, southern and western regions and one on the national level were conceptualised as nodal institutions for addressing operational issues on grid integration.
