India, with its large population and rapidly growing economy, needs access to clean, cheap and reliable sources of energy, the clean power generated by these solar projects. This scheme plays a major role in reducing India’s carbon footprint, promote high end technical investments and empower local communities.
At the state level, the solar park will enable the states to bring in significant investment from project developers, meet its Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) mandates and provide employment opportunities to local population.
The solar parks will be developed in collaboration with the State Governments. The implementation agency would be Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) on behalf of GoI. SECI will handle funds on behalf of GOI. The States applying under the scheme will have to designate an agency for the development of solar park.
