Following opposition from various wind power producers lobbies, CERC (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission), the apex electricity regulator, would review its regulation on day-ahead forecast by wind power producers. The CERC order has been challenged in three high courts of the country by three different organizations’. IWPA (Indian wind power association) has filed an injunction against the regulation in Delhi High Court, WIPPA (Wind Independent Power Producers' Association) in Madras High Court and a recent addition, GMDC (Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation) BSE 2.08 % in Ahmedabad High Court. Wind power producers have challenged the regulation on grounds of both feasibility and legality. Some power producers have also questioned the preparedness of the national grid to handle modern data collection technology. Independent wind power producers have also written to the power ministry, requesting better grid infrastructure to implement a program like this.
