The Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi has recently notified the Delhi Solar Policy 2023, aimed at accelerating the adoption of solar energy in the national capital. This policy is a significant step towards achieving the government's renewable energy targets and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

The Delhi Solar Policy 2023 outlines various incentives and measures to promote the installation of solar power systems across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. It includes provisions for net metering, subsidies, and incentives for rooftop solar installations, making solar energy more accessible and affordable for consumers.

Under this policy, the government aims to achieve a target of generating 1 GW of solar power capacity by 2023 and 5 GW by 2030. Additionally, it seeks to promote decentralised solar power generation and encourage community participation in renewable energy projects.

The implementation of the Delhi Solar Policy 2023 is expected to have several benefits, including reduced electricity bills for consumers, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and job creation in the renewable energy sector. Furthermore, it will contribute to the overall sustainability and environmental conservation efforts of the city.

By prioritising solar energy adoption and promoting a shift towards cleaner and greener energy sources, the Delhi government demonstrates its commitment to combating climate change and building a more sustainable future for its residents.
