Shift to Green Electricity Today!
It is cheaper & Cleaner than Your Current Electricity Bill
Group Captive Solar: A Smart Choice for Industries
Group Captive Solar is a cost-effective solution for industries looking to reduce electricity expenses while ensuring energy sustainability. Through corporate solar power purchase, businesses can invest in a group captive power plant, enabling them to access clean energy at lower costs. This model, aligned with group captive renewable energy policies, allows multiple consumers to collectively own and procure solar power under open access solar energy regulations. Ideal for factories and large enterprises, solar power for industries ensures long-term tariff stability while meeting renewable energy mandates. With rising energy costs, group captive solar is an attractive and future-proof solution.
How Can I Buy Green Electricity for my Factory / Commercial Unit?
- Captive Mode – Own a stake in a renewable plant and enjoy zero CSS.
- Group Captive Mode – Partner with others for cost-effective green power.
- Third-Party PPA – Buy renewable energy without any investment.

What is Captive, Group Captive & Third Party in Green Energy Open Access?
Group Captive Solar Power Plant: A Cost-Effective Green Energy Solution
A Group Captive Solar Power Plant is a strategic energy model where multiple commercial and industrial consumers collectively own at least 26% equity in a solar power plant and consume 51% of the generated electricity. This arrangement allows businesses to reduce power costs, enjoy tariff exemptions on cross-subsidy and additional surcharges, and meet sustainability goals.
By investing in a Group Captive Solar Power Plant, industries can secure long-term energy savings, improve energy security, and gain carbon footprint reduction benefits. Unlike open access models, this structure ensures greater control over power procurement, shielding businesses from fluctuating electricity prices.
With rising power tariffs and stricter carbon regulations, Group Captive Solar is an ideal choice for manufacturing units, IT parks, and large commercial establishments. It fosters a win-win scenario, ensuring both financial savings and environmental responsibility.

2️⃣ Choose an Open Access Model – Select between captive, group captive, or third-party purchase.
3️⃣ Sign a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – Secure a long-term or short-term deal with renewable energy providers.
4️⃣ Start Receiving Green Energy – Power your business with clean electricity and optimize operational costs.
Electricity Banking in Wind and Solar Power
Electricity banking is a mechanism that allows renewable energy generators, particularly wind and solar power producers, to “deposit” excess electricity into the grid and “withdraw” it when needed. This system is crucial for managing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources.
In states with electricity banking policies, surplus power generated by a wind or solar plant during high-production periods (such as daytime for solar and windy seasons for wind) is fed into the grid. The producer receives credit for this electricity, which can be used later when their generation is low. This helps maintain a steady power supply and enhances grid reliability.
The banking period and settlement mechanisms vary by state in India. Some states allow monthly banking, while others offer annual banking with certain charges. However, banking policies are evolving, with many states introducing withdrawal restrictions and higher banking fees to reduce the financial burden on DISCOMs.
Electricity banking benefits industries and commercial consumers by reducing dependency on fossil-fuel-based power and lowering electricity costs. However, regulatory uncertainties and changing policies remain challenges. As India pushes for higher renewable energy adoption, a well-structured electricity banking framework is essential for integrating wind and solar power efficiently into the grid.
Open Access of Electricity in India: A Game-Changer for Consumers
Open Access (OA) in electricity allows large consumers to buy power from suppliers other than the local distribution company (DISCOM), giving them the flexibility to choose cost-effective and renewable energy sources. It promotes competition in the electricity market, reduces dependence on expensive grid power, and enables industries to access cleaner energy.
Types of Open Access
- Short-Term Open Access (STOA): Access for up to one month, typically used by industries looking for short-term power procurement.
- Medium-Term Open Access (MTOA): Access for 3 months to 3 years, suitable for businesses wanting price stability.
- Long-Term Open Access (LTOA): Access for more than 7 years, ideal for large-scale renewable power procurement.
