Power producers have said the fee levied by the government on solar parks has forced them to increase prices by at least 10 per cent at a time when the trend is towards declining cost of clean energy. The fees levied on the solar parks announced in Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka includes that for development, operation and maintenance, lease rentals, solar power development, processing, security deposits and additional taxes. ¨High charges for solar parks can make solar power costlier by Rs 0.16-0.36 per unit,¨ said Jasmeet Khurana, senior consulting manager at Bridge to India, a leading consulting services and knowledge provider.
