To promote solar energy in the state, the Yogi Adityanath Government in Uttar Pradesh is going to organize a month-long ‘Har Ghar Solar Abhiyan’ in Lucknow and Varanasi Solar City from October 2, marking the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

The aim of this campaign is to promote the use of solar energy and make efforts to achieve the target set by the Uttar Pradesh government under the Solar Energy Policy 2022 of Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) of 6000 megawatts of solar rooftop plant installations (residential/commercial).

UPNEDA Director Anupam Shukla said here on Saturday that the first boot camp under ‘Har Ghar Solar Abhiyan’ will be organized at Vikas Bhawan in Lucknow and near the Municipal Corporation office in Varanasi.

He said that in this camp organized in the interest of consumers, along with residential and commercial consumers, concerned officers and employees of various other departments will also participate.

Furthermore, people will receive comprehensive information about the installation of solar rooftop systems and the process for applying, as well as details about setting up net meters during the camp.
