THDC India to Expand Residential Rooftop Solar in Three States

15 Jul 2024 CW Team

THDC India, a subsidiary of NTPC Limited, is gearing up to expand its residential rooftop solar projects across three states in India. The initiative aims to boost renewable energy adoption among households and contribute to sustainable energy practices.

The expansion will focus on Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Meghalaya, leveraging the potential for solar energy in these regions. THDC India aims to install rooftop solar panels on residential buildings, promoting self-sufficiency in energy consumption and reducing carbon footprints. This effort aligns with India's ambitious renewable energy targets and aims to make solar power more accessible at the grassroots level.

THDC India's move comes amidst increasing awareness and government incentives for solar energy adoption. The initiative not only aims to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources but also to empower homeowners to become energy producers themselves. By harnessing solar energy, households can not only reduce electricity bills but also contribute positively to environmental conservation.

The project's implementation is expected to commence shortly, with THDC India partnering with local stakeholders and communities to facilitate seamless integration and adoption of rooftop solar technology. This expansion marks a significant step towards decentralised energy production and fostering a sustainable energy ecosystem in the region.
