Procure Green Power through Wind Group Captive
Wish to have green power that lowers your costs and increases
your company’s esteem?
Wish to achieve this without significant investments?
Wind Group Captive is the Way to Go
For many Indian companies, procuring wind power through the group captive mechanism has emerged as a truly feasible and viable option.
Wind power sourced via the group captive avenue is available at an attractive price of less than Rs 5/ kWh, making it already competitive to grid electricity costs. With ever increasing costs of grid power, green power from wind will become only even more economically attractive in future.
What is Group Captive?
|
Any association of persons / entities having 26 per cent shares in a generating company can consume power more than 51 per cent — and can be treated as a captive power. |
With the above definition, it can be seen than by investing a total of 26%, even as a group, your company is eligible for procuring power from a power plant and this will be treated as captive green power generation, providing you with significant benefits in the process.
Today, the group captive concept for wind is being utilized by a number of companies across India moving towards sustainability goals

Why Group Captive? And Why not Open Access? A consumer buying electricity from inside or outside the state via open access, ends up paying electricity charge to the generator plus the wheeling charges depending upon intra- or inter-state and then the cross-subsidy surcharge. The sum of these three invariably makes open access electricity purchase an unviable option. Consumers of group captive power need not pay cross-subsidy charges as they are exempted for a captive power plant under section 42 of the Electricity Act, 2003. Adding to this benefit, the electricity duty is also being waived off. The above two benefits make the group captive route a far more sustainable option to open access. Thus, with much less investments than what your company will have to do for owning a captive power plant, you get benefits similar to owing one. |
In summary, through wind group captive, manufacturers and IT companies for whom energy is a major cost, will get green power, reduce or handle their obligations and compliance issues and most importantly have a fixed energy cost for the future.
