The government officials stated, that this significant initiative aims to provide farmers in 75 districts of the state with eco-friendly and sustainable energy solutions, as stated by a government spokesperson.
According to an official statement by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), “The Uttar Pradesh government, in line with the intentions of CM Yogi, has set a target to install over 30,000 solar photovoltaic irrigation pumps by spending Rs 434 crore under PM KUSUM Yojana in the financial year 2023-24 of which the state and central government’s shares would be INR 217.84 crore and INR 217.09 crore respectively.”
The implementation of this initiative falls under the purview of the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Agency (UPNEDA), which will oversee the installation of clean energy-based irrigation systems through surface and submersible pump setups.
Following the guidelines of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the government will offer a 60 percent grant on the benchmark cost for installing standalone solar pumps with capacities of up to 7.5 HP. Of this grant, 30 percent will be covered by both the central and state governments.
The installation of these solar pumps is expected to empower farmers by providing them with an affordable and environmentally friendly energy source for irrigation. According to the recently revised action plan, UPNEDA will facilitate the installation of various solar pump types, ranging from 1800 W 2 HP DC and AC surface and submersible pumps to 9000 W 10 HP AC submersible pumps.
To make it more accessible for farmers, those interested in adopting solar pumps through the agricultural infrastructure fund can secure the necessary funding through bank loans.
