Spark learnt from the sources that, the Urban Development & Housing Department (UDH), Jaipur is planning to introduce the provisions of electricity generation by solar panels in housing projects under the proposed section of 90A of the Land Revenue Act.
Spark believes that, this move will help Jaipur to reduce the frequency of power cuts in the city.
UDH, Jaipur is planning to accommodate the solar plants in housing project and for that the certain changes in the building bylaws will also be required. However, the decision has to be taken after consultation with Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation (RREC) to provide subsidy in installation of solar panels.
As per the draft provisions being planned, each household or society will be able to generate solar electricity for its personal consumption; the excess generation will be bought by the discoms and will be transferred into the grid.
Spark found that, Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) is also finalizing the guidelines for setting up of solar panels in individual houses and apartments and purchasing of generated electricity from these panels.
To give a push to the UDH proposal, the Centre is providing 30 percent subsidy in installing solar panels. Currently, the capital cost comes around Rs 2 lakh per kilo watt. However, experts believe that with more use of solar energy in the country and manufacturing of equipment, the cost can come down to Rs 1 lakh per kilo watt.
