Punjab to Install 20 MW Solar on Public Buildings

The Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) has announced an ambitious project to install 20 MW of solar power on public buildings across the state. This initiative is part of Punjab's broader strategy to promote renewable energy and reduce its carbon footprint.

The project aims to utilize rooftops of various government buildings, schools, and institutions to generate clean energy. By harnessing solar power, these buildings can significantly reduce their reliance on conventional energy sources, thereby cutting down on electricity costs and contributing to environmental sustainability.

PEDA's initiative aligns with Punjab's commitment to increasing its renewable energy capacity. The state government has been actively encouraging the adoption of solar power through various incentives and supportive policies. This project is expected to serve as a model for other states in India, showcasing the feasibility and benefits of integrating solar energy into public infrastructure.

The installation of 20 MW of solar power is projected to generate approximately 28 million units of electricity annually. This will result in substantial savings on energy bills for the government and public institutions. Moreover, it will help in reducing carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 26,000 tons per year, contributing to the state's efforts to combat climate change.

PEDA has invited bids from solar power developers for the implementation of this project. The selected developers will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of the solar power systems. The project is expected to be completed within the next 12 months, ensuring that the benefits of solar power are realized at the earliest.

The initiative is part of a series of measures taken by Punjab to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. The state has already implemented several successful solar projects, including solar parks and rooftop solar installations on private buildings.

In addition to reducing energy costs and carbon emissions, the project is expected to create job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. This will contribute to economic development and support the state's transition to a sustainable energy future.

Overall, Punjab's plan to install 20 MW of solar power on public buildings marks a significant step towards achieving its renewable energy targets. The project underscores the state's commitment to sustainability and serves as an inspiration for other regions to adopt similar green initiatives.
