India

Green tariffs - Draft Electricity (promoting renewable energy through Green Energy Open Access) Rules, 2021. Some states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have determined green tariffs in their tariff orders. Will more states follow the same?

VPPA - A Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) is a financial contract in which the buyer agrees to purchase renewable energy attributes from the developer at a ‘pre-agreed price’, also known as the ‘strike price’. Will we see more VPPAs?

P2P: Peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity trading in electricity is at a pilot stage and hence no regulations are in place in order to govern the P2P transactions in India. What regulations are needed to make this successful?

iREC: The I-REC Standard is a list of rules, regulations and best practises which are to be used by attribute tracking systems (collectively, the I-REC Code). Is industry ready to accept these?
