To promote power generation from new and renewable energy sources, the Haryana government has decided to waive the intra-state "wheeling charges" on transmission of electricity generated from solar power plants in the state.
This was announced by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar here today.
'Wheeling charges' refers to the process of transmission of electricity from one source to another through transmission lines or grid.
The State government, under section 108 of the Electricity Act 2003, had already approved a proposal to request the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) for waiving these charges, an official spokesman said here.
