Residents in Chhattisgarh who have installed rooftop solar power systems will now be compensated for any surplus electricity they feed back into the state's power grid.
A new scheme introduced in Chhattisgarh aims to incentivize the adoption of rooftop solar energy. Under this initiative, consumers who generate more electricity from their rooftop solar installations than they consume will be paid for the excess power transmitted to the state's electricity grid.
This policy is expected to encourage more households and businesses to invest in solar energy solutions. By offering financial returns on surplus energy, the state government seeks to promote renewable energy generation and reduce reliance on conventional power sources.
The move aligns with broader national goals for increasing renewable energy capacity and fostering a more sustainable energy ecosystem. The specifics of the payment mechanism and tariff rates are part of the new scheme designed to benefit solar power producers.
