Varanasi leads the country in solar energy goals

Varanasi: In Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi is at the forefront of environmental and energy conservation efforts. The government’s initiative to make Varanasi a solar city is gathering steam and promises substantial financial and electrical savings while emphasising environmental preservation. In only 2.5 months, more than 28,000 solar rooftop grid system registrations have been completed under the “Har Ghar Solar Yojana,” exceeding the intended 25,000 connections.

The public is saving more than Rs 31 lakh as a consequence of this.
According to Himanshu Nagpal, chief development officer, the “PM Surya Ghar Yojana” has approximately 72,000 connections presently instead of the original goal of 25,000 solar rooftop grid installations in the city. With 1,045 homes having already started to utilise solar energy, they have already saved over 4,702,500 units of power, or Rs 31.35 lakh.tnn
