MSEDCL Petition on Open Access Electricity
Mar 25
The Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has proposed plans for Time of Day (ToD) tariff charges and rebates and other tariffs, effective in the coming financial year (Fiscal Year 2025-2026). These changes may concern if they are accepted by the MERC. Below, we break down what’s happening and potential solutions on how you can respond.
MSEDCL proposes major revisions to its Time-of-Day (ToD) tariff system, effective FY 2025-2026, aiming to balance grid demand by encouraging off-peak usage. However, this could substantially impact solar consumers and businesses.

Next Steps: What Consumers Can Do
Consumers have a critical role in shaping energy policies. Here’s how they can get involved:
Open access electricity consumers need to have information on the latest updates on MSEDCL’s proposed plans including time-of-day tariff charges, limitations on solar net metering & new rates for the solar grid, which will likely increase costs for solar users & large consumers. To mitigate the cost impact of open access to electricity consumers need to upgrade their knowledge by engaging in public consultations & offering fair open-access solar policy. The main goal is to create a balance between grid stability, renewable adoption, and affordable consumer energy policies.
