About this scheme
Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme 2024, introduced by the Government of Rajasthan, extends an incentive to the renewable energy sector. Listed as incentive 89 in the policy document, this provision applies to Renewable Energy (RE) integrated Storage projects.
Under this incentive, projects in which Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity is more than 30% of total RE capacity receive a full exemption from Transmission & Wheeling charges. The purpose is to bring down operating expenses for developers.
Such support improves the financial feasibility of energy storage, helps bring variable renewable generation onto the grid, and speeds up Rajasthan's shift towards sustainable energy. The exemption backs projects that add to grid stability and efficiency, strengthening the state's appeal as a destination for green investment.
