Energy Open Access - Preliminary Advisory

UrjaOne’s Open Access – Initial Preliminary Advisory is a focused consulting service designed for commercial and industrial consumers who want to explore options to reduce their power purchase cost without committing to a full-scale open access project at the initial stage. This service provides a high-level assessment of the customer’s current electricity consumption pattern, contract demand, sanctioned load, and DISCOM tariff structure to evaluate basic eligibility for open access as per applicable state regulations. Our experts explain different open access models such as third-party renewable power, captive and group captive arrangements, along with indicative savings potential, major commercial components like wheeling charges, cross-subsidy surcharge, additional surcharge, banking provisions, and regulatory considerations. The advisory also outlines typical approval processes, timelines, and key risks involved. This preliminary consultation helps management teams take an informed decision on whether to proceed with a detailed feasibility study and implementation. If the customer decides to move ahead after this basic consultation, a separate commercial contract will be executed for end-to-end open access advisory and implementation services aimed at achieving measurable reduction in overall power procurement cost.
