The General Network Access (GNA) framework came into effect after the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) notified the GNA Regulations on June 7, 2022. The regime establishes a non-discriminatory and flexible mechanism for both renewable and conventional generators to access the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS). It aims to reform grid access by simplifying procedures and improving transparency in transmission planning.
For renewable energy developers, the framework has been a significant confidence booster. By reducing procedural requirements and enabling long-term visibility of transmission capacity, GNA has made it easier for large renewable projects to inject power into the grid. In essence, the regime offers a more streamlined, predictable pathway for integrating green energy into the national network with fewer bottlenecks.
