The Power Producer shall be required early commissioning of project is permitted for full commissioning as well as part commissioning even prior to obtain Developer and/ or Transfer Permission, Key Plan drawing etc, if required, from GEDASCOD subject to the availability of evacuation arrangements. In cases case of conversion early full commissioning, MSEDCL may purchase the generation till SCOD at PPA tariff. In case of land from Agricultural to Non-Agriculture, the part commissioning shall be taken up by GEDA only upon submission of N.A. permission by the Power Producer. 4.1.7 The Power Producer shall be required to follow the Forecasting and Scheduling procedures as per the Regulations issued by Hon’ble GERC from time to time. It is to clarify that in terms of GERC (Forecasting, Scheduling, Deviation Settlement and Related Matters of Solar and Wind Generation Sources) Regulations, 2019 the procedures for Forecasting, Scheduling & Deviation Settlment are applicable to all solar generators having combined installed capacity above 1 MW connected to the State Grid / Substation including those connected via pooling stations.till SCOD as
