Eninrac Consulting Shares Key Insights on Draft Guidelines for Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) in India
We at Eninrac Consulting have conducted an in-depth assessment of the Draft Guidelines for Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs) recently issued by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC). Our analysis brings forth critical considerations that will shape the success of VPPAs in India’s renewable energy transition.
VPPAs are emerging as a promising market mechanism to accelerate renewable energy adoption. However, to realize their full potential, it is crucial to address structural risks and implementation challenges.
-
Risk Mitigation & Creditworthiness: Mechanisms are needed to protect renewable energy generators from buyer defaults.
-
Transparent Settlement Frameworks: Standardized methods must be in place for handling price risks and power imbalances.
-
REC Transfers: Clear and simplified protocols should govern Renewable Energy Certificate transactions.
-
Termination & Dispute Resolution: A standardized approach will safeguard both developers and buyers
-
Compliance Burden: Especially for small-scale renewable developers, the process must be streamlined.
Drawing on global best practices from the U.S., Europe, and Australia, we believe a transparent, investor-friendly VPPA framework will not only mitigate risks but also boost capital inflows into India’s renewable sector.
Our Perspective
“VPPAs have the potential to become a game-changer for India’s clean energy journey. But success lies in designing guidelines that balance risk management with market flexibility. At Eninrac, we remain committed to providing actionable insights that help stakeholders navigate this evolving landscape,” said Nitika Sharma, Vice President, Eninrac Consulting.
