Section 38 in Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Tariff determination of energy from Renewable Energy Sources) Regulations, 2017
38.
As defined in the Electricity Act, 2003, the cogeneration means a process which simultaneously produces two or more forms of useful energy (including electricity). In bagasse based cogeneration projects, the bagasse is burnt to produce steam. This steam is used in production of sugar as a primary process. Also, it is used to run the turbine generator to produce electricity as a secondary process. The sugar industry uses the electricity so produced for its own consumption and the surplus energy, if any, will be available for sale either to third party or to the grid.
