The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) has initiated a proposal to adjust solar power tariffs, aiming to lower rates for consumers who have benefited from government subsidies on their solar panel installations. This proposed change is slated to be implemented from July 2026.
Under the proposed revision, the electricity generated by subsidized solar panel users and sold back to the grid will be compensated at a reduced rate. This contrasts with the current structure where consumers who installed solar panels without any government subsidy receive a higher price for the surplus electricity they feed into the grid.
