Finally its Possible: The Grid Code is here . . .

On the 9th December 2010, the CEB has launched its project known as SSDG standing for Small Scale Distributed Generation based on the Grid Code.  It will buy electricity generated from Renewable Sources by Residential customers or other categories.   The project is limited to 200 installations or 2MW capacity, where 1MW is reserved for Residential producers.  The feed in Tariff for the first fifteen years is as shown below per kWh:

               Table A    Table B
Micro      Rs 25      Rs 21.25
Mini        Rs 20      Rs  17.00
Small       Rs  15     Rs  12.75


The project deserves a much better coverage than it was given on that day by the MBC TV station.  What is missing or considered as the next moves by the government are:

• incentives and financing mechanisms, 
• removal of taxes and customs duties on the equipments required.
