About this scheme
Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, introduced by the Government of Rajasthan, provides an incentive for combining renewable energy with storage. Projects that qualify are those where storage capacity equals no less than 5% of the total RE capacity.
Under this scheme, qualifying RE integrated Storage projects receive an exemption on transmission and wheeling charges. The purpose is to bring down operating expenses for developers and to speed up the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across Rajasthan.
Such storage capacity helps keep the grid stable, meet peak demand, and maintain power supply through non-solar hours. The exemption is also intended to draw investment into advanced energy storage technologies, in line with the state's objectives on energy security and environmental responsibility.
