The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy(MNRE) has released the performance date for April 2013. The performance details of projects commissioned under the JNNSM Phase 1, Batch 2 have also been released. Of the 24 projects commissioned(details available here), performance data is available only for 11 plants. The details of the plants are given below.
The Capacity Utilisation Factor(CUF) is quite high for Fonroche Saaras Energy, but it is too early to analyze the performance of these plants.
Apart from the above, the data for the JNNSM Phase 1 Batch 1 has also been published. (Click on the image to enlarge it)
Similarly, the data for projects under the RPSSGP scheme is also given below.
The performance data can be downloaded from the MNRE website – JNNSM Phase 1 Batch 1, Batch 2, RPSSGP.
The details upto March 2013 can be accessed here.

Hello,
I am Pradeep from EfficientCarbon. Just wanted to clarify one thing w.r.t the data published in the MNRE docs. I just ran the numbers in the doc and saw that the CUF displayed is not exactly the same that one would arrive at if calculated using the Net Exported Power and plugging it into the CUF formula – (Generated Units/Capacity*8760). For example, the CUF for EMC Ltd. (5 MW plant as per Phase-I Batch-I)
Is there a factor here that is not being considered – transmission losses etc.?
Kindly let me know.
Thanks.
Hi Pradeep,
You are right.These CUFs are self-reported by the developers and is different from the formula you mentioned. Not sure what is missing in this.

Thanks Madhavan. My understanding is that the transmission losses between AC side of the system and the actual feeding point (to the grid) has not been taken into consideration.
The generation figures are given for a month, therefore the CUF formula would be (Monthly Generation)/((Capacity in MW)*1000*24*(No of days in the month)).
Dear Mr.Sharath,
The exact same formula as mentioned by you has been used for the purpose of calculation. Despite that, there is a minor difference – 0.5-2% in each and every figure reported every month. My understanding is that the transmission losses between AC side of the system and the actual feeding point (to the grid) has not been taken into consideration.
A very informative data. If the technology(Thinfilm/crystalline) adopted by the developer/owner is also mentioned then lot of inferences can be drawn
