Extract from the Article:

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy has raised concerns over the sluggish pace of installation of rooftop solar projects under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. They have highlighted the need for accelerating the implementation process to meet the ambitious targets set by the scheme. The committee emphasized the importance of expediting the installation of solar projects to ensure the timely realization of the benefits envisaged under the initiative.

The report underlines the critical role rooftop solar projects play in achieving energy security, reducing carbon footprints, and promoting sustainable development. It calls for robust mechanisms to address the challenges hindering the effective implementation of the scheme and stresses the urgency of enhancing the installation pace to capitalize on the potential of solar energy in transforming the energy landscape of the nation.


My Take:

Surya Ghar Muft Bijlee: A 7-year journey

 

"Reflecting on my blog post about the PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana from years ago, it's disheartening to see the current issues faced in the slow installation pace of rooftop solar projects.

 

 

The suggestions I proposed, such as incentivizing consumers, DISCOMS, and funding agencies, remain relevant today. Integrating the National Clean Cooking Scheme with the Surya Ghar initiative could have been a game-changer in enhancing its impact. It's imperative to revisit these recommendations to accelerate the progress and realize the full potential of the scheme."

Surya Ghar: Missing the Wood for the Trees?

 

"Looking back at my blog post regarding the Suryodaya Yojana and the emphasis on providing electricity to low-income households, the current challenges of slow rooftop solar installations raise concerns.

 

The idea of the government bearing the installation costs was a step in the right direction, but the execution appears to be lagging. It's crucial to address the bottlenecks hindering the effective implementation of such vital schemes to ensure their success and impact on the targeted communities."

Call to Action:

To the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy: I urge you to work closely with relevant stakeholders to address the bottlenecks in the installation process of rooftop solar projects under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.

 

Accelerating the implementation pace is crucial for realizing the scheme's envisioned benefits and meeting the ambitious targets set. Prioritizing efficient mechanisms and timely execution will be key to harnessing the full potential of solar energy for sustainable development.
