Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission has clarified that if additional solar or wind capacity is added to an existing co-located wind-solar hybrid power project, transmission charges will not exceed the capacity contracted with the transmission licensee, provided the total installed capacity is within the contracted limits. If the new solar or wind capacity exceeds the existing contracted transmission capacity, charges will be based on the higher of the two capacities, subject to evacuation approval for the additional capacity. For new hybrid projects, charges will similarly be levied on the higher of the installed solar or wind capacity, with evacuation approvals.
