Gujarat Announces Policy for small-scale Solar Power Generation

Small Scale Solar Power Generation 

Aspiring to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambition for raising the renewable power generation in the country, the Gujarat government on Wednesday announced a 'small scale distribution solar project' policy for producers of up to 500 KW to 4 megawatts (MW).

Energy and Petrochemical Minister Saurabh Patel said, "Gujarat's geographical situation has vast and immense potential for renewable power generation such as solar and wind energy. We have framed a policy for small power producers of solar projects wherein even owner of a small waste land will be able to generate power and sell it in the state."

According to the policy, private landowners who have waste and non-productive land will be able to set up solar power projects with a capacity between 500 kilo watts to 4 MW.
