Solar Power Consumers Cannot Use Open Access and Net Metering at the Same Time
A ruling by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has clarified that generators cannot use both Open Access and Net Metering simultaneously. The commission also reiterated that benefits of net-metering are limited to rooftop solar installations of only up to 1 MW. For generators who have project capacities of 1 MW and above, open access is the way to go.
