The Ministry of Power is proposing to set up a compensation mechanism for existing renewable energy projects which will enable them to protect the cash flows to an extent from grid curtailments and will also ensure a favorable operational environment for the renewables sector, stated a report by India Ratings. The power purchase agreements (PPAs) that renewable energy project developers sign with electric utility companies do not address the grid issues and lack a mechanism to compensate for subsequent energy loss.
