This initiative focuses on promoting public awareness of renewable energy benefits, enabling seamless installation of reliable solar solutions with lifetime care, and reducing the financial burden for consumers.
The program will initially target key cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Paradip, Berhampur, Sambalpur, Balasore, and Rourkela, with plans to gradually expand across the state.
In addition to offering financial benefits, the partnership will enhance Odisha’s solar ecosystem through public education campaigns, technical training for local vendors, and strengthened community engagement.
Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies, manages power distribution in Odisha through its four DISCOMs in partnership with the State Government. The scheme will be implemented through the DISCOMs which will play a pivotal role in bringing solar energy to households.
The MoU was signed by Saidutta Biplab Keshari Pradhan, CEO, OREDA Ltd. and Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD, Tata Power in the presence of the Deputy Chief Minister of Odisha K.V. Singh Deo and Manoj Ahuja, Chief Secretary, Government of Odisha.
