Revocation of GRID Access Permissions for Renewable Energy (RE) Projects
8th December 2025
Ministry of Power has provided an update that since 2022, Central Transmission Utility of India Limited (CTUIL) has revoked connectivity of 24 grantees with a Renewable Energy (RE) capacity of 6,343 MW. The cancellations are on account of developer delays and not due to transmission side delays
There are sixteen petitions pending before the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission that pertain to cases where the Petitioners (Power Generators) have approached CERC seeking protection from revocation of Connectivity
The revocation of grid access permissions is not due to shortfall in transmission planning for achieving the 2030 non-fossil capacity target. The Government of India has set a goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based generation capacity by 2030. Already 259 GW of non-fossil capacity is connected to the grid
Further, Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) for evacuation of 172 GW of renewable energy is already under construction, and bids are in process for 19 GW capacity. Simultaneously, the Government of India is working with the States to ensure timely development of respective Intra-State Transmission Systems for evacuation of 152 GW of renewable energy. These efforts, together with the planned transmission systems for integrating hydro, nuclear, and other non-fossil capacities, collectively provide a clear implementation plan for achieving the 500 GW non-fossil capacity target
