Solar Schemes
Objective |
Solar power projects can be set up anywhere in the country,
however the scattering of solar power projects leads to higher project cost
per MW and higher transmission losses. Individual projects of smaller
capacity incur significant expenses in site development, drawing separate
transmission lines to nearest substation, procuring water and in creation of
other necessary infrastructure. It also takes a long time for project
developers to acquire land, get change of land use and various permissions,
etc. which delays the project. To overcome these challenges, the scheme for
“Development of Solar Parks and Ultra-Mega Solar Power Projects” was rolled
out in December, 2014 with an objective to facilitate the solar project
developers to set up projects in a plug and play model. |

Objective | For achieving cumulative capacity of 40,000 MW from Rooftop Solar (RTS) Projects by the year 2022. |
Period | Till 31.12.2022 |
Salient Features | Component A: Central Financial Assistance (CFA)* to Residential sector - 4 GW
Component B: Incentives to DISCOMs – for initial 18 GW Capacity Progressive incentive for Discoms for achievements above baseline (the cumulative RTS capacity installed at the end of previous financial year).
|
How to avail the financial assistance | As the Scheme is to be implemented through Power Distributing companies (DISCOMs), therefore, the residential consumer who wishes to seek CFA has to approach the DISCOMs operating in his area for installation of rooftop solar plant and get the CFA. |
