नवीकरणीय खरीद बाध्यता (RPO) गैर-अनुपालन दंड
Definition
RPO non-compliance occurs when: (1) wind generation is curtailed but not credited back to the obligation, and (2) distribution companies fail to file accurate generation certificates with state regulators. Odisha, for example, has a 43% RPO by 2030 but currently imports 100% of contracted wind (321.5 MW). Missing the 7% wind RPO sub-target by 2030 would incur statutory penalties of ₹50-100 crores per state.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹200-500 crores/year across 15+ Indian states with RPO shortfalls (estimated at ₹50-100 crores per state for wind RPO misses).
- Frequency: Annual RPO compliance verification; penalties assessed quarterly by state regulators.
- Root Cause: Manual generation certificate tracking; curtailment not reflected in compliance calculations; lack of real-time RPO dashboard for state regulators.
