Rajasthan Introduces New Grid Code to Strengthen Power Infrastructure

The Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission (RERC) has unveiled the Rajasthan Electricity Grid Code, 2024, to enhance grid efficiency, reliability, and safety. The new regulations establish technical and operational standards for electricity transmission and distribution, ensuring grid stability and optimal power management. A key focus is the seamless integration of renewable energy, with improved forecasting and scheduling mechanisms to manage power fluctuations. The code also enforces grid discipline, mandating voltage and frequency control while imposing penalties for non-compliance.

Safety measures include emergency protocols for blackouts and demand surges, requiring utilities to implement contingency plans. Additionally, state load dispatch centers will oversee real-time monitoring and coordination of electricity supply. The regulations prioritize consumer protection by improving service quality, reducing transmission losses, and enhancing power distribution efficiency. The RERC has directed stakeholders to comply with the new guidelines, supporting Rajasthan’s renewable energy growth and reinforcing energy security.
