New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) announces to transition to 100 percent renewable energy sources by advancing the installation of grid-connected solar plants in Delhi and has mentioned the implementation of NDMC Solar Policy 2022.
In the official statement, NDMC said, “New NDMC of New India is the first municipality of India which is going to frame the policy for over 56 thousand electricity consumers, who can avail the schemes of NDMC Solar Policy 2022, which will be eco-friendly for the residents of NDMC area”.
NDMC released a draft of the policy in September 2022, requesting the residents of the region to establish solar panels on their buildings. However, the policy’s execution was discontinued due to public objections.
Kuljeet Singh Chahal, NDMC Member, discussed, “Suggestions were taken from the public after the draft was released… Most suggestions have already been included in the policy, and some other public concerns are now being incorporated into the policy.”
Through this policy, solar plants can be adopted by electricity users in the area given the need that their solar energy generating system has a capacity of 1 KW or more.
The policy stated, “Individual households, offices, commercial establishments, residential complexes etc. will be eligible for a project capacity of minimum 1KW or more.”
The policy intends to use the existing roof space of bungalow tops and other buildings. The rate and amount of applicable subsidy would be levied as per the approved rate, sanctioned amount and also on the basis of the allocated target by the MNRE.
As per Chahal's statement, NDMC targets to make itself the first completely solar-driven government institution in Delhi by 2025.
