- Fixed tariff (T)
- Rs 4.20 per kWh
- Storage
- No BESS required
- Admissibility
- Subject to CEB Network Impact Assessment (NIA) / survey
Maximum admissible capacity calculator
Aggregate one or more CEB accounts to justify a single on-site or off-site PV installation.
- Aggregated consumption
- 480,000 kWh/yr
- Formula result (÷1600 × 150%)
- 450.0 kWp
- Capped at scheme limit (2 MW)
- 450.0 kWp
Indicative gross remuneration at Rs 4.20/kWh: Rs 3,024,000 / year. Final admissible capacity remains strictly subject to the CEB Network Impact Assessment (NIA) / network survey outcome.
