TSNPDCL Solar Net Metering — Export Rate

Under net metering, TSNPDCL consumers with rooftop solar systems can export surplus electricity to the grid and receive credit. TSNPDCL, along with TSSPDCL, operates under one common TSERC tariff and net metering order — the same rates and rules apply regardless of which of the 2 Telangana DISCOMs serves your area.

Net metering settlement for TSNPDCL is monthly, per TSERC regulations, as per TSERC (Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission) regulations.

How Solar Saves Money Under TSNPDCL Tariffs

For a household consuming 300–400 units per month in the TSNPDCL area, a 3 kW solar system can offset 300–360 units per month (25 kWh/day average). At current TSNPDCL 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.
