The union government has set an ambitious target to cover 25 lakh households in Tamil Nadu between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025. In the last six months, those who have registered for the scheme constitute just 2.8% of the target.
During its announcement, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) stated the PM Surya Ghar scheme will aid in generation of up to 300 units of free power per month in 1 crore households.
Under the scheme, a consumer can install a 2KW solar plant, at a cost of ₹2 lakh. The centre will provide a subsidy of ₹60,000. For consumers using 300 units per month, their electricity bill will effectively be zero.
There is also a significant gap between registration and actual submission of applications, according to the data from the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation (TNGEC), the nodal agency for implementing the Rooftop Solar Photovoltaics (RTPVs) scheme.
