Below are the graph for tariffs finalized by RERC and CERC and a comparison between them.
The Commission (RERC) in its order has reduced the tariff by 3.23% compared to previous year, which appears to be inspired by tariff of CERC (reduced by 2.02%). In the previous years the tariff for wind energy in Rajasthan was one of the highest in the country, and was an attractive destination for industry.

]]>Below are the some graphs on the year-wise tariff’s of CERC and RERC for wind energy and the % changes in the tariff’s over the years.
Note: All figures of CERC relate to wind zone-2 as defined by CERC, and all RERC tariffs relate to Wind Power Plants located in districts other than Jaisalmer, Jodhpur & Barmer districts.
It can be noticed from the graphs above that RERC has constantly increased Wind tariffs over the last three FYs, while CERC wind tariffs have risen more in terms of % whereas that proposed for FY 2015-16 has been reduced compared to previous FY.
Rajasthan has a wind power potential of 5050 MW’s and with these tariffs proposed, it will become an attractive destination for setting up Wind projects.
