Hey there, folks! Exciting news coming out of Pune – the PM Surya Ghar Yojana is making waves in the city by driving a remarkable transition towards solar energy. With over 18,000 customers successfully installing rooftop solar projects, Pune is now contributing 370 megawatts to the grid – talk about a positive impact!
Residential consumers in Western Maharashtra are reaping the benefits of this initiative, especially those using up to 100 units of electricity monthly. Thanks to the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, these consumers are now paying lower rates for electricity than the procurement costs, potentially eliminating their electricity bills entirely. And hey, this reduction could even lead to lower electricity rates for commercial and industrial customers down the line – win-win!
Recently, a capacity-building workshop highlighted the importance of this development, with regional director Bhujang Khandare emphasizing the growing necessity of solar energy. The workshop aimed to equip professionals with the skills needed to effectively implement the Pradhan Mantri Solar Rooftop Free Electricity Scheme, ensuring financial benefits for all.
Chief Engineer Rajendra Pawar shared some impressive stats on the growth of rooftop solar projects in Pune – over 18,000 installations and 370 megawatts contributed to the grid. The initiative aims to reach 149,000 residential customers, with financial support totaling ₹228 crore for solar project installations.
As the prospect of zero monthly electricity bills becomes a reality, more and more residents are jumping on the solar energy bandwagon. With significant financial incentives and a push towards sustainability, it’s no wonder Pune is making strides in renewable energy. Exciting times ahead for the city!
