Delhi's solar policy scrapped

Delhi Government’s solar mission seems to be in darkness. The roof-top solar policy under which consumers would set up solar panels on their roof-tops and feed extra power generated into the main grid got scrapped.They felt the scheme could be exploited on several grounds, a major violation being production of power through cheaper means and selling it to discoms at higher rates.
In an article of Times of India, Mr.Gopal Saxena, CEO, BSES Rajdhani said, “We are ready to start a 1 MW project using the roof-tops of the discom’s buildings. However, with the change in government policy we are stuck. If Delhi Electricity Regulatory Board announces the renewable power obligation for discoms this year, we will have to source our obligatory solar power from other states since there is not enough land mass available in Delhi to set up a big solar project,”.
Let’s wait and watch for the Delhi government to bring a new solar policy.
