The system is expected to reduce demand on the grid during peak times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

New electricity rules will allow for cuts in power tariffs of up to 20% during the day and increases of up to 20% during peak night hours, the power ministry said on Friday, in a move aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy.<\/p>\n

The system is expected to reduce demand on the grid during peak times when many households crank up their use of airconditioning after work.<\/p>\n

It will come into effect from April 2024 for commercial and industrial consumers and a year later for most other consumers except those in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n

“Since solar power is cheaper, the tariff during the solar hours will be less, so the consumer benefits,” Power Minister RK Singh said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“During non solar hours thermal and hydro power as well as gas based capacity is used – their costs are higher than that of solar power – this will be reflected in time-of-day tariff.”<\/p>\n

The move is expected to help work towards its target of achieving 65% of its energy capacity from non-fossil fuels by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2070.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
