The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has notified new renewable energy regulations effective from November 6, 2025, addressing prosumer concerns. This matters as it impacts billing and net metering for renewable energy users.

On November 6, 2025, the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) announced the KSERC (Renewable Energy and Related Matters) Regulations, 2025, which will remain in effect until March 31, 2030. These regulations introduce significant changes to the net metering system (NMS) for domestic, industrial, and agricultural consumers, with limits set at 20 kW, 500 kW, and 3,000 kW, respectively. Prosumers with renewable energy systems up to 10 kW are exempt from grid support charges, while those above this threshold will incur charges based on their energy consumption from the grid during non-solar hours. The regulations also incorporate provisions for innovative technologies like Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Virtual Power Plants (VPP), aiming to enhance the renewable energy landscape in Kerala.
