REGULATORY PETITION & REVIEW
8Gujarat regulator reopens 16-year-old tariff fight over Vaayu's 51.2 MW wind fleet
The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission heard M/s Vaayu (India) Power Corporation's Petition No. 1221 of 2012, seeking a revised tariff for a 51.2 MW wind project of sixty-four 800 kW turbines commissioned between 2010 and 2011, on the ground that it did not avail accelerated depreciation under Tariff Order No. 1 of 2010. On May 20, 2026 the Commission gave GUVNL two weeks for additional submissions and the petitioner one further week to respond, while disposing of the urgent-listing application in the long-pending matter.
8Rain and connectivity delays push Project Twelve Renewables to seek more time from Gujarat regulator
The Gujarat ERC granted Project Twelve Renewables Power two weeks to file an interlocutory application in Petition No. 2314 of 2024, which seeks deferment of the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date under its December 15, 2022 PPA, citing excessive rainfall at the site and delay in grant of connectivity. GUVNL and GETCO did not oppose the adjournment and were given three weeks to reply once the new application is filed, keeping the commissioning-timeline dispute alive before the Commission.
8Enren Energy walks away from 400 MW solar dispute after sealing settlement with GUVNL
M/s Enren Energy informed the Gujarat ERC it had amicably settled its dispute with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam and sought to withdraw Petition No. 2341 of 2024 along with IA No. 41 of 2024. The petition had sought an extension of the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date for a 400 MW solar PV plant under the December 15, 2022 PPA. With GUVNL's affidavit of November 20, 2025 confirming the settlement, the Commission allowed the withdrawal, closing the commissioning-extension dispute between the developer and the state utility.
8Gujarat regulator throws out German Green Steel's crane-accident excuse on 1,282.7 MW project
Dismissing Petition No. 2515 of 2025, the Gujarat ERC ruled that an alleged crane accident did not amount to force majeure for German Green Steel and Power, noting that 1,282.7 MW of wind capacity plus the solar component was already ready for commissioning. The Commission found no causal link to the five-month delay and observed that the replacement purchase order was placed only on July 1, 2025, pointing to internal procurement lapses rather than an unavoidable event, and denied the requested time extension.
8Bhathwari Technologies' commissioning-delay plea collapses as Gujarat regulator rejects force majeure
In Petition No. 2517 of 2025, the Gujarat ERC disallowed Bhathwari Technologies' request for a time extension, holding that the claimed crane accident neither met the legal test for force majeure nor explained a five-month delay. The Commission noted the firm placed its replacement purchase order only on March 1, 2025, attributing the slippage to its own decision-making and ruling it ineligible for relief. The order mirrors the Commission's parallel rejection of similar crane-accident force majeure claims by other developers.
8ABRel SPV 2 gets four weeks to argue solar delay and reclaim liquidated damages in Gujarat

8Renewable SPVs ask Gujarat regulator to clarify connectivity rules at 400 kV Babarzar hub

REGULATORY PETITION & REVIEW
8Serentica warns CERC: project delay plus MEC could wipe out 5.38% of equity IRR for 100 MW hybrid projects
Serentica Renewables flagged that the proposed Milestone Extension Charges (MEC) framework under CERC Petition 5/SM/2026, combined with project IDC impact, could erode Equity IRR by as much as 5.38% for a 100 MW Hybrid plant and 4.52% for a 300 MW Solar project on a 12-month delay — translating to a combined financial hit of Rs. 199.01 crore on Hybrid, Rs. 135 crore on Solar and Rs. 106.82 crore on Wind capacity. The developer proposed slashing MEC to Rs. 750/MW/month.
8NSEFI flags 40-42 GW of RE projects at risk; demands 50% cut in MEC rates and exemption from force majeure penalties
The National Solar Energy Federation of India warned CERC that approximately 40-42 GW of renewable energy projects are affected by uncontrollable delays under Petition 5/SM/2026. NSEFI demanded a 50% cut in base MEC rates to Rs. 750/MW/day for Land/FC and Rs. 1,500/MW/day for COD, a 3-6 month Neutral Window for state delays, automatic clock-pause on procurer-driven PPA delays, a 30-day refund timeline for unutilised MEC, and Bank Guarantees in lieu of advance cash payments.
8TNPDCL pushes back: demands minimum land threshold be raised from 20% to 50% to curb speculative connectivity hoarding
Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited urged CERC to tighten the proposed MEC framework under Petition 5/SM/2026, arguing the 20% land-availability threshold is inadequate and must be raised to at least 50% to deter speculative corridor blocking, with a progressive penalty structure of 10% of Land BG in the first month, 20% in the second and 30% in the third — followed by automatic connectivity revocation. TNPDCL warned COD delays disrupt DISCOM load forecasting and derail RPO compliance.
8NTPC Green Energy demands scrapping of 20% land threshold and a flat Rs. 1,500/MW/day MEC for financial closure extensions
State-run NTPC Green Energy Limited called for the complete removal of the 20% minimum land threshold under Regulation 11A(1) in its CERC submission on Petition 5/SM/2026. NGEL proposed a single route-neutral 50% land submission criterion and demanded a uniform Rs. 1,500/MW/day MEC for the entire 6-month FC extension — against the proposed escalation to Rs. 1,950/MW/day in the 6th month — and a critical 'adjust or refund' mechanism for intermediate milestone penalties.
8Avaada Energy demands MEC holiday for first 6 months of COD delay; seeks LOA-to-land route conversion without cancellation
Avaada Energy urged CERC to waive Milestone Extension Charges for the first 6 months of COD delay under Petition 5/SM/2026, proposing a graded MEC structure where months 7-18 attract zero penalty, months 18-21 attract Rs. 3,000/MW/day, months 22-24 attract Rs. 4,500/MW/day, and the final 6 months attract Rs. 6,000/MW/day. Avaada also flagged non-recognition of COD achievement by CTUIL and demanded LOA-to-Land route conversion without cancellation of the LOA.

Sprng Energy Private Limited, the Shell Group's Indian renewable IPP with around 3.3 GWp of operational capacity and 1.7 GWp under construction, warned CERC that the proposed MEC structure under Petition 5/SM/2026 imposes a 30x penalty jump from Rs. 3,000/MW/month for the first six post-firm-start months to Rs. 3,000/MW/day from month seven. Sprng listed five force majeure-class causes outside developer control and sought a 6-month COD grace beyond GNA effectiveness.
8Gentari proposes MEC cap at Rs. 5,000/MW/month for interim milestones and Rs. 10,000/MW/month for COD; calls current draft unconstitutional
Gentari Sdn Bhd, the Petronas-owned clean energy company, urged CERC to cap Milestone Extension Charges at Rs. 5,000/MW per month for interim milestone slippage and Rs. 10,000/MW per month for COD delays, far below the draft's escalating slab that peaks at Rs. 6,000/MW/day. Gentari argued MEC imposed without delay attribution is 'against natural justice' and proposed that penalties be held by CTU in a separate escrow-style account pending post-COD review of delay reasons.

REGULATORY PETITION & REVIEW
8Serentica warns CERC: project delay plus MEC could wipe out 5.38% of equity IRR for 100 MW hybrid projects
Serentica Renewables flagged that the proposed Milestone Extension Charges (MEC) framework under CERC Petition 5/SM/2026, combined with project IDC impact, could erode Equity IRR by as much as 5.38% for a 100 MW Hybrid plant and 4.52% for a 300 MW Solar project on a 12-month delay — translating to a combined financial hit of Rs. 199.01 crore on Hybrid, Rs. 135 crore on Solar and Rs. 106.82 crore on Wind capacity. The developer proposed slashing MEC to Rs. 750/MW/month.
8NSEFI flags 40-42 GW of RE projects at risk; demands 50% cut in MEC rates and exemption from force majeure penalties
The National Solar Energy Federation of India warned CERC that approximately 40-42 GW of renewable energy projects are affected by uncontrollable delays under Petition 5/SM/2026. NSEFI demanded a 50% cut in base MEC rates to Rs. 750/MW/day for Land/FC and Rs. 1,500/MW/day for COD, a 3-6 month Neutral Window for state delays, automatic clock-pause on procurer-driven PPA delays, a 30-day refund timeline for unutilised MEC, and Bank Guarantees in lieu of advance cash payments.
8TNPDCL pushes back: demands minimum land threshold be raised from 20% to 50% to curb speculative connectivity hoarding
Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited urged CERC to tighten the proposed MEC framework under Petition 5/SM/2026, arguing the 20% land-availability threshold is inadequate and must be raised to at least 50% to deter speculative corridor blocking, with a progressive penalty structure of 10% of Land BG in the first month, 20% in the second and 30% in the third — followed by automatic connectivity revocation. TNPDCL warned COD delays disrupt DISCOM load forecasting and derail RPO compliance.
8NTPC Green Energy demands scrapping of 20% land threshold and a flat Rs. 1,500/MW/day MEC for financial closure extensions
State-run NTPC Green Energy Limited called for the complete removal of the 20% minimum land threshold under Regulation 11A(1) in its CERC submission on Petition 5/SM/2026. NGEL proposed a single route-neutral 50% land submission criterion and demanded a uniform Rs. 1,500/MW/day MEC for the entire 6-month FC extension — against the proposed escalation to Rs. 1,950/MW/day in the 6th month — and a critical 'adjust or refund' mechanism for intermediate milestone penalties.
8Avaada Energy demands MEC holiday for first 6 months of COD delay; seeks LOA-to-land route conversion without cancellation
Avaada Energy urged CERC to waive Milestone Extension Charges for the first 6 months of COD delay under Petition 5/SM/2026, proposing a graded MEC structure where months 7-18 attract zero penalty, months 18-21 attract Rs. 3,000/MW/day, months 22-24 attract Rs. 4,500/MW/day, and the final 6 months attract Rs. 6,000/MW/day. Avaada also flagged non-recognition of COD achievement by CTUIL and demanded LOA-to-Land route conversion without cancellation of the LOA.
8Sprng Energy flags 30x MEC escalation risk on 3.3 GWp operational portfolio; seeks force majeure relief
Sprng Energy Private Limited, the Shell Group's Indian renewable IPP with around 3.3 GWp of operational capacity and 1.7 GWp under construction, warned CERC that the proposed MEC structure under Petition 5/SM/2026 imposes a 30x penalty jump from Rs. 3,000/MW/month for the first six post-firm-start months to Rs. 3,000/MW/day from month seven. Sprng listed five force majeure-class causes outside developer control and sought a 6-month COD grace beyond GNA effectiveness.
8Gentari proposes MEC cap at Rs. 5,000/MW/month for interim milestones and Rs. 10,000/MW/month for COD; calls current draft unconstitutional
Gentari Sdn Bhd, the Petronas-owned clean energy company, urged CERC to cap Milestone Extension Charges at Rs. 5,000/MW per month for interim milestone slippage and Rs. 10,000/MW per month for COD delays, far below the draft's escalating slab that peaks at Rs. 6,000/MW/day. Gentari argued MEC imposed without delay attribution is 'against natural justice' and proposed that penalties be held by CTU in a separate escrow-style account pending post-COD review of delay reasons.
