Clearance

Electricity Generation, Distribution and/or Supply License

Energy generating, transmitting or distributing projects including those under the FiT with a capacity above 3 MW must obtain an Electricity Generation License from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). Projects with a capacity under 1 MW do not need an ERC clearance and those between 1 MW and 3 MW must obtain an Electricity Permit from ERC, which is a streamlined license. The license is open-ended and must not be renewed. The applicant has to give a notice of application to the Local Government, to ERC and publish the intention of the project in a newspaper at least 15 days prior to submission of the application.
