1. Background
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India has set an ambitious target
towards achieving 100 GW solar power capacity under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission
by 2022. The 60 GW capacity of solar power is targeted from on-ground projects and 40 GW from
grid connected rooftop solar power.
MNRE, GoI has set a target of installation of additional 350 MW capacity Solar Power Plants in
Uttarakhand state by 2022, out of which a target of 44 MW has been sanctioned in first phase. Under
Grid Connected Rooftop and Small Solar Power Plants Programme solar rooftop plants from 1.0
KWp to 500 KWp capacities can be set up for which guidelines vide no. 30/11/2012-13/NSM dated
26-06-2014 shall prevail.
Uttarakhand state has a good potential of Solar Energy. About 300 sunny days are available in the
State which provides an excellent potential for installation of Rooftop and other Small Solar Power
Plants in the State. Keeping the above in view, 5 kW capacity grid interactive rooftop or small SPV
system will be supported under this scheme.
The generated power from such SPV system/project will be first utilized by powering captive loads
during the day time and any surplus power will be fed into the grid as long as grid is available. In
case, where solar power is not sufficient due to cloud cover etc., the captive loads will be served by
drawing power from the grid.
The grid-interactive rooftop system can work on net metering basis wherein the beneficiary pays to
the utility on net meter reading basis only. Alternatively two meters can also be installed to measure
the export and import of power separately. Ideally, grid interactive systems do not require battery
back-up as grid acts as the back-up for feeding excess solar power and vice-versa.
The feed in tariff for the power generated from the Solar Power Plant will be decided by Hon’ble
Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (UERC) in such a manner that it provides a
safeguard to all stakeholders including UPCL. The availability of electricity grid near the solar
installation is an essential component which needs to be provided by the concerned agencies i.e.
UPCL/PTCUL.
Therefore, to promote Grid-interactive rooftop and small solar PV power projects in the state, it is
essential to formulate a comprehensive scheme which aims to accelerate growth of Grid-interactive
rooftop and small solar PV power projects in Uttarakhand by providing a favorable environment for
all the stakeholders.
