The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) has extended the validity of the generic tariff Rs 7.08 / kWh for waste to energy (WTE) projects in the state. (Read the Order document here).

The validity of the tariff has now been extended up to March 31, 2021.

The Commission had previously set a generic tariff of Rs 7.08 / kWh on September 19, 2016, for all waste to energy projects in the state.

The Commission decided to extend the validity of the existing generic tariff as no additional waste to energy projects have been proposed in the state, and those previously submitted by the Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) are currently in progress.
