Jammu, Nov 12: Over 13,600 rooftop solar systems have been installed in Jammu and Kashmir, with more than 5,400 households receiving \u201czero electricity bills\u2019, officials said on Wednesday, adding that a target has been set to cover 83,500 households in the Union territory.
\nThis was revealed at a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo to review the progress of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana across Jammu and Kashmir.
\n\u201cAs many as 5,413 consumers under the scheme have already received zero electricity bills, reflecting tangible progress on the ground,\u201d a senior official said.
\nThe Managing Director of Jammu Power Development Corporation Limited, Gurpal Singh, said the Union Territory (UT) has set a target of covering 83,500 households under the scheme.
\nHe added that 76,000 applications have been received, of which 37,500 consumers have selected vendors, and 17,151 have signed agreements.
\n\u201cAs many as 13,615 rooftop solar systems have been installed, and Central Financial Assistance amounting to Rs 96.68 crore has been released in favour of 11,297 beneficiaries,\u201d he added.
\nShahid Iqbal Choudhary, Secretary, Science and Technology Department, said at the meeting that the UT has made notable strides in the solarisation of government infrastructure, with 6,716 buildings already solarised out of the 22,494 proposed, achieving a total installed capacity of 64.67 MW.
\nHe said under the 70 MW rooftop solar project, work orders for 47.45 MW capacity covering 4,338 buildings have been issued. \u201cMaterial delivery has been completed at 2,806 sites (35.88 MW), while 1,987 sites (25.50 MW) have been fully installed. An additional 5 MW capacity is currently in transit and expected to be delivered by November 30,\u201d he added.
\nDulloo underscored the importance of the scheme in transforming the energy landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, noting that as an energy-deficient region, it stands to benefit immensely from the adoption of clean and reliable solar power.
\nHe called upon the divisional and district administrations to ensure smooth and time-bound implementation of the scheme in every district.
\nEmphasising public outreach, the chief secretary directed both power distribution companies (Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Limited and Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited) to educate citizens about the multiple benefits of the scheme, assist consumers in vendor selection, and facilitate speedy installations.
\nHe further stressed robust monitoring and regular evaluation of district-level progress to achieve the set targets.<\/p>\n
