Virtual Net Metering

Solar for Housing Societies & Apartments

What is Virtual Net Metering (VNM)?

Virtual Net Metering allows multiple consumers such as housing societies, apartments, or office complexes to share electricity generated from a common solar plant. The benefits are distributed digitally through the grid—no physical wiring to individual flats.

How VNM Works for Societies

A solar plant is installed on a common rooftop or a remote site within the same DISCOM area. Solar power is fed into the grid and members receive automated bill credits on their MSEDCL bills based on agreed shares—100% transparent and hassle-free.

MERC 2025 Update

Solar Made Mandatory for Housing Societies

Many societies wanted to adopt solar but faced challenges such as limited rooftop space, shadowing, or policy uncertainty. The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has now removed these barriers.

As per Case 222 of 2024, Virtual Net Metering is mandatory for group housing societies in Maharashtra. MSEDCL must process group VNM applications, and both rooftop and remote solar plants are allowed within the same license area.

FAQs

Virtual Net Metering FAQs for Housing Societies

  • Can our society adopt VNM if we don’t have enough terrace space?
    Yes. Virtual Net Metering allows your society to install the solar plant at a remote or common site and still receive bill credits. Lack of rooftop space is no longer a barrier.
  • Is remote-site solar legal and approved in Maharashtra?
    Absolutely. MERC’s 2025 order clearly permits both rooftop and remote/common-site installations under Virtual Net Metering within the same DISCOM supply area.
  • How are solar savings distributed among society members?
    Electricity credits are digitally allocated to each participating flat based on predefined shares and reflected directly in their MSEDCL electricity bills—fully automated and transparent.
  • Who owns and maintains the solar power plant?
    Ownership depends on your chosen model. MSEB Power offers turnkey EPC (society-owned) as well as OPEX/RESCO models, including complete maintenance and monitoring.
  • Is there a minimum or maximum system size for VNM?
    System size is designed based on your society’s combined electricity demand and available space. We right-size the project to ensure maximum savings and ROI.
  • Can new members be added to the VNM system later?
    Yes. Virtual Net Metering systems are flexible and can be expanded to include new society members in the future, subject to technical feasibility and approvals.
