Uttarakhand Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) has set a target of installing 40,000 rooftop solar power panels by 2027 under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana (PMSGY) scheme. Currently, 7,500 installations are in place, primarily in Dehradun, Haridwar, US Nagar, and Nainital districts. The scheme offers substantial subsidies for households, with UPCL buying excess power at the highest rate among all states. The state government plans to expand the scheme to villages, aiming to create “model solar villages” through a dedicated coordination committee. This initiative aims to promote solar energy adoption, reduce reliance on traditional power sources, and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for Uttarakhand.
