CERC Begins Process to Set Generic Tariffs for Small Hydro Projects in FY26.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has initiated the process of setting levellised generic tariffs for various renewable energy (RE) technologies, including small hydro power (SHP) projects, for FY26.

In August 2024, the CERC had already issued levellised generic tariffs for renewable energy technologies for the first year of the control period, covering the period from July 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025.

In a recent suo motu order, the commission announced that it has now begun the process for determining the levellised generic tariff for RE technologies for the second year of the control period, FY26.
