To promote clean sources of energy, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has decided to exempt all waste-to-energy projects from transmission and other related costs under open-access regulations.

The move is expected to greatly benefit industrial and commercial consumers who can opt for power from these WTE plants as open-access consumers at a cost lower than commercial/industrial tariffs levied by DERC.
