Executive Summary: This document details amendments to the Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023, focusing on modifications to the Hybrid RESCO model and capital subsidies for residential and group housing societies. It specifies subsidy amounts, eligibility criteria, and application procedures, including the use of national and Delhi solar portals. The amendments are effective from the date of the gazette notification. Key Points / Main Content: Hybrid RESCO Model: The model aims to combine the solar RESCO model with rooftop of the consumer, and solar bill payment to RESCO developer sells the power directly to the Discom via a PPA. The consumer also signs a net metering agreement with the Discom. Additional Benefits for Group Housing Societies/Residential Consumers: Capital subsidy by MNRE for residential systems up to 3 kW until 31st March 2026, or as extended/amended by MNRE from time to time. Capital subsidy by MNRE for group housing societies and residential welfare associations for common facilities, including EV charging, up to 500 kW Capacity 3 kW per house with the upper limit being inclusive of individual rooftop plants installed by individual residents in the GHSRWA or as extended/amended by MNRE from time to time. Generation Based Incentive (GBI): An earlybird GBI shall also be offered for the first time for such consumers for the first 200 MW of deployment. Capital Subsidy for All Solar Projects: Subsidy of Rs. 10,000 per KW upto 3 KW per consumer is available for residential customers, up to a maximum of Rs 30,0003 kW solar plants. Rs 2,000 per kW subsidy for Group Housing Society for common Resident facilities, including Welfare EV charging, up to Association 500 kW Capacity GHSRWA 3 kW per house with the upper limit being inclusive of individual rooftop plants installed by individual residents in the GHSRWA. Application and Transfer of Subsidy: For consumers applying through the National portal PMSG portal, the State Capital subsidy will be transferred to consumer through Direct Benefit Transfer DBT. State subsidy will be transferred through DBT to eligible consumers, details on Delhi Solar portal. Net Metering: If consumer wants to install Solar system through PMSG, Net metering application will be routed through National portal PMSG to Discom. If the solar system installation, outside PMSG, then the consumer will have to apply through DiscomDelhi State Portal. Impact Analysis: Consumers: Impact: Eligible for revised capital subsidies and can benefit from the Hybrid RESCO model. Action Required: Apply for subsidies through the PMSG portal or Delhi Solar portal, depending on the installation method. DISCOMs: Impact: Will act as RESCO players and handle net metering applications. Action Required: Implement streamlined net metering procedures and facilitate subsidy claims. RESCO Developers: Impact: Can participate in the Hybrid RESCO model and receive Generation Based Incentives. Action Required: Lease plant installation on rooftop of the consumer, and sells the power directly to the Discom via a PPA.
