Open Access Solar in Gujarat for Commercial & Industrial Users
Open access solar lets your business buy power directly from an off-site solar plant through the grid under a long-term PPA. Instead of setting up a plant only on your own rooftop, you access larger capacity at a competitive tariff with zero or low upfront investment. This page explains how open access solar in Gujarat works for commercial and industrial consumers, and how it can lower your landed power cost, increase your renewable share and de-risk your energy planning.
- Long-term visibility on per-unit power cost
- Zero or low capex options through PPA models
- Access to larger solar capacity than your roof allows
- Higher share of renewable energy in your portfolio

How the Open Access Solar Model Works in Gujarat?
At a high level, open access solar allows eligible consumers to buy power from an off-site solar plant through the grid at a negotiated tariff. Instead of owning the plant outright, you sign a long-term agreement with the generator or project company, subject to applicable regulations and open access charges in Gujarat.
Long-Term PPA Framework
You enter into a power purchase agreement that defines the contract period, contracted capacity or energy, tariff structure and other commercial terms. The goal is to provide a landed power cost that is competitive with or better than your current grid tariffs over the life of the agreement.
Group Captive Open Access Solar
In a group captive model, one or more consumers take an equity stake in the project company and consume a majority of the power generated. This structure can help reduce certain charges compared to third-party open access, subject to qualifying conditions and regulations. The plant is usually located in a suitable solar region and connected to the grid at the appropriate voltage level.
Seamless Power Delivery and Billing
Once commissioned, power is scheduled and delivered through the state grid to your facility. You receive energy bills from the generator, along with applicable grid and open access-related charges, while your conventional utility bills reflect reduced drawal.
Ongoing Compliance and Reporting
Throughout the term, scheduling, metering, invoicing and compliance with SLDC/DISCOM requirements are handled in a structured way. GSE Renewables supports you with clear documentation and periodic performance reviews.

Who Is Open Access Solar Best Suited For in Gujarat?
Open access solar is not for every consumer, but it can be highly effective for those with the right load profile and risk appetite. In Gujarat, this model is typically most attractive to larger users who can commit to long-term offtake.
Ideal candidates include:
- Large industrial plants with steady, high daytime loads
- Multi-location businesses looking to consolidate demand into a single project
- Data centres, IT parks and cold storage facilities with energy-intensive operations
- Logistics parks and large warehouses with long-term tenants
- Institutions, SEZs and industrial parks aiming to increase their renewable share
These consumers benefit from lower landed cost of power, access to larger-scale renewable capacity and a better alignment between long-term business plans and energy strategy, without being constrained by rooftop or land limitations at their own site.
FAQs on Open Access Solar in Gujarat
An open access system allows eligible consumers to buy electricity directly from a generator using the transmission and distribution network, instead of only buying from the local DISCOM. In the case of open access solar, power is generated at a dedicated solar plant and wheeled through the grid to your facility under a long-term power purchase agreement, subject to applicable regulations and charges.
Rooftop solar is installed on your own premises and usually offsets part of your daytime consumption at that site. Open access solar, on the other hand, is generated at an off-site plant and delivered through the grid, often at a larger scale. This allows you to contract more capacity than your roof can host and to serve multiple sites, but it also involves additional regulatory steps and open access charges.
Not always. Under a group captive open access solar structure, consumers invest equity in the project company and consume a majority of the power, which can reduce certain charges if eligibility criteria are met. However, third-party open access models also exist where you do not invest and only sign a PPA. The right choice depends on your capital preferences, risk appetite and long-term plans.
Open access solar projects are subject to several charges that may include transmission and wheeling charges, losses, cross-subsidy surcharges and other levies depending on the regulatory framework and consumer category. The exact structure and values can change over time. When evaluating a project, it’s important to consider the total landed cost of power after all charges, rather than just looking at the PPA tariff.
Open access solar in Gujarat is best suited for larger commercial and industrial consumers with predictable demand and the ability to commit to long-term offtake. Typical examples include manufacturing units, large campuses, IT/ITES parks, logistics and warehousing companies and institutions with significant energy needs. If your power consumption is high enough and you want more control over long-term tariffs, open access is worth evaluating.
