Explanation of the Group Captive (Open Access) Model

Formation of Group

  • Multiple industrial or commercial entities join together to form a group captive.
  • These entities typically belong to the same industry or have similar electricity requirements.
  • The group may include businesses operating in manufacturing, IT, textiles, pharmaceuticals, or any other sector with high electricity consumption.

Ownership and Operation

  • Each member of the group owns a share or stake in the captive power plant, either directly or through a separate entity established for this purpose.
  • The captive power plant may utilize various sources of generation, including conventional sources like coal, natural gas, or renewable sources like solar, wind, or biomass.
  • The group may choose to operate the captive power plant themselves or engage a third-party entity to manage the plant's operations and maintenance.

Electricity Procurement and Distribution

  • The primary purpose of the group captive is to generate electricity to meet the energy needs of its member entities.
  • Electricity generated by the captive power plant is distributed among the members based on their agreed-upon share or allocation.
  • In some cases, excess electricity generated beyond the group's requirements may be sold to the grid, providing additional revenue for the members.

Regulatory Framework and Benefits

  • The establishment and operation of group captive power plants are governed by regulatory frameworks set forth by local electricity regulatory authorities.
  • Group captive arrangements often offer benefits such as reduced electricity costs, improved reliability, and greater control over energy supply.
  • Members may also benefit from financial incentives, tax breaks, and exemptions available for captive power generation or renewable energy utilization.
