The Delhi government has introduced the Delhi Solar Policy 2024, aimed at promoting solar power adoption among residents.
The policy allows residents to install solar panels on their rooftops, enabling them to generate their own electricity.
Residents can benefit from zero electricity bills and even earn by selling excess solar power back to the grid.
The new policy targets to achieve 4500 megawatts of installed capacity of solar power in Delhi by 2027, a significant increase from the previous target of 1500 MW.
The Delhi Solar Policy 2016 laid the foundation for solar adoption in the city, resulting in 1500 MW of solar power installed capacity.
The primary objectives of the Delhi Solar Policy 2024 are to reduce air pollution and combat inflation by reducing electricity bills for residential and commercial/industrial consumers.
Solar power adoption is crucial for reducing air pollution and promoting sustainable energy practices in Delhi.
