HOW IT WORKS?
Under the captive/group captive model, a solar project is developed for the internal usage of one or more corporate buyers either singly or collectively. The Electricity Rules 2003 state that in relation to a captive generating power plant, not less than 26% ownership shall be held by the captive users, and not less than 51% aggregate electricity generated, on an annual basis, shall be consumed on a captive basis. Further, cross subsidy surcharge is completely exempted in captive and group captive projects, as per India’s Electricity Act of 2003.
