MNRE issues orders for state discoms to buy 20 per cent of power generated in solar parks

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has issued an order to state discoms to purchase a minimum of 20 per cent of the power produced in each solar park in the state. The order further states that if a discom buys more than 20 per cent of power from one or more solar parks, it is permitted to purchase a lower portion of power from the other parks. This is conditional to the purchase of minimum 20 per cent of the aggregate power generation from all the solar parks in the state.
