Bihar
Bihar’s solar policy aims to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy while reducing dependency on conventional power sources. The policy provides comprehensive guidelines for Low Tension (LT) and High Tension (HT) consumers, ensuring cost efficiency, accessibility, and support for both small-scale and large-scale solar installations.
Consumer Categories and Voltage Levels
Low Tension (LT) Categories
- Voltage Level: Up to 415V
Applicable Users:
- Residential users with connected loads up to 50 kW.
- Small commercial setups and agricultural users.
Tariff Structure:
Domestic:
- 0–50 units: ₹3.20/unit
- 51–150 units: ₹4.50/unit
- Above 150 units: ₹6.50/unit
Commercial:
- Up to 100 units: ₹6.00/unit
- Above 300 units: ₹8.00/unit
High Tension (HT) Categories
- Voltage Level: 11 kV and above
Applicable Users:
- Large commercial and industrial setups.
Tariff Structure:
Industrial:
- ₹5.80/unit (11 kV)
- ₹5.40/unit (33 kV)
- ₹5.00/unit (132 kV and above)
Commercial:
- ₹6.80/unit (11 kV) to ₹6.00/unit (132 kV and above)
Types of Metering
Net Metering:
- Consumers can offset their electricity consumption with solar energy they generate.
- Best suited for residential and small commercial users.
Gross Metering:
- All solar energy generated is exported to the grid at feed-in tariffs.
- Ideal for industrial and large-scale solar installations.
Group and Virtual Net Metering:
- Enables sharing of solar energy credits among multiple connections or across a group.
Time-of-Day (ToD) Tariffs:
- Encourages consumption during off-peak hours with discounts and higher rates during peak periods.
Key Highlights
Government Incentives:
- Subsidised installation costs for residential rooftop systems.
- Concessions on wheeling and transmission charges for renewable energy producers.
Green Energy Targets:
- Bihar aims to achieve a significant share of renewable energy in its total power mix.
Ease of Adoption:
- Simplified application and approval processes for grid integration.
