SECI has issued the RE sector’s first Expression of Interest (EoI) for Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA)-based Renewable Energy Procurement.

The EoI is intended for demand assessment and aggregation for financially settled renewable energy procurement under the VPPA route. The proposed mechanism can enable consumers to meet Renewable Consumption Obligation (RCO) requirements and manage electricity price exposure without physical power delivery.

The EoI invites participation from industries, commercial establishments, PSUs, data centres, open access consumers, captive users and other eligible power consumers. Responses received will support market assessment, demand discovery and further structuring of procurement under the VPPA framework.

RE 101 | Distribution Companies (DISCOMs)

Electricity begins at power plants (solar/wind/thermal etc), moves across high-voltage transmission networks over hundreds of kilometres, and finally reaches your neighbourhood. That’s where DISCOMs step in.

DISCOMs are the last-mile link of the power sector - distributing electricity through local grids, managing demand, maintaining infrastructure, handling billing, and ensuring a safe, reliable supply to homes, businesses, and industries.

They are the backbone of everyday energy access - making sure power is available when and where you need it.
