Energy Department launches rooftop solar panel project for 2,000 village panchayat offices
The state Energy Department has approved the installation of rooftop solar panels on 2,000 rural panchayat offices to boost green energy use.
The Energy Department has given official go-ahead to install rooftop solar panels on the roofs of 2,000 village panchayat offices across the state, aiming to promote green energy in rural areas.
The scheme will see solar panels mounted on the existing rooftops of panchayat buildings, leveraging government infrastructure to generate renewable electricity and reduce dependence on conventional power sources.
Officials say the initiative aligns with the state's broader renewable energy targets and is expected to lower electricity costs for local administrations while setting an example for villages.
The project will be implemented in phases, with priority given to panchayats in areas with high solar irradiance, and will involve coordination with local bodies for installation and maintenance.
The move reflects a growing emphasis on sustainable development in rural governance, encouraging other public institutions to adopt similar green energy solutions.
