The Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC) has, in a recent ruling, said that additional electricity produced through cogeneration could not be tied with the renewable energy obligation (RPO). The Commission dismissed the petitioners’ request that cogeneration be considered on par with renewable power, and the obligated entity be exempted from meeting the RPO targets.
