TSECL Solar Net Metering — Export Rate

Under net metering, TSECL consumers with rooftop solar systems can export surplus electricity to the grid and receive credit. TSECL is a vertically integrated utility (generation, transmission and distribution combined) offering net metering under TERC regulations — exported solar units are credited against your bill.

Net metering settlement for TSECL is as per TERC net metering regulations, as per TERC (Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission) regulations.

How Solar Saves Money Under TSECL Tariffs

For a household consuming 300–400 units per month in the TSECL area, a 3 kW solar system can offset 300–360 units per month (25 kWh/day average). At current TSECL tariffs, this can save a meaningful portion of the electricity bill each month, depending on which consumption slab your usage falls into and your generation profile.
