Bihar Renewable Energy Development Authority (BREDA) plans to establish rooftop solar plants in 1300 government buildings in Patna, comprising offices, hospitals, schools, etc.

The initiative intends to minimise dependence on coal-based electricity in the city and will be solarized with the implementation in phases.

BREDA aims to establish 65 MW capacity through this project in the subsequent 3 months.

Moreover, out of the 1300 buildings, 300 will have PV plants with over 40kW capacity, whereas the other 1000 will be equipped with PV plants with less than 40kW capacity.

In the initial phase, schools and hospitals will be solarized on a priority basis. A minimum grid-linked solar capacity of 2kW will be installed at these buildings.

Gradually, the power generated by the solar plants will be first supplied to the grid. The institutions can extract power directly from the grid according to their utilisation.

The Bihar government has commenced moving to develop Patna as a solar city. 

Additionally, the Bihar government is mulling plans to undertake solarization projects in other cities such as Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Gaya, and Darbhanga.
