Under the REC framework, a developer sells the electricity generated and the environmental attributes associated with clean energy separately. The entities obligated under the RPO regime from any part of India may purchase these RECs to meet their RPO targets. The RECs are issued by the National Load Dispatch Centre on application by the generator equivalent to the amount of electricity injected into the grid as certified by the State Load Despatch Centre, and each REC represents 1MWh of energy injected into the grid from renewable energy sources. In order to ensure compliance by entities obligated under the RPO regime to purchase RECs, MNRE has created the RPO compliance cell, which will coordinate with concerned states, CERC and SERCs on matters relating to compliance, including periodic reporting. Further, in the event of default, such mechanism will ensure appropriate actions being taken against defaulting entities promptly.
