New Delhi: The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has urged the power regulator to retain a separate deviation settlement mechanism (DSM) for wind and solar projects, arguing that renewable generators should not be treated on par with conventional power plants.
In its comments on the draft Deviation Settlement Mechanism and Related Matters (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2026, the ministry said renewable energy generation is inherently weather-dependent and cannot be equated with controllable output from thermal or other conventional plants.
