Lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has suspended the solar policy of the Delhi government that was announced by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal last month. This decision has been met with disappointment from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sandeep Pathak, who accused the BJP of directing their anger towards not just Kejriwal, but also towards Delhi and its residents.
Delhi government introduces the Delhi Solar Policy 2024, allowing residents to install solar panels on their rooftops and earn money while ensuring zero electricity bills.
Explaining the contours of the policy, a senior Delhi government official said, “The scheme is linked to power production. If, for example, you are using 400 units of power per month and you have installed a 2 kilowatt solar panel, which generates around 220 units of solar power
Under the Delhi government s existing power subsidy scheme, a residential consumer consuming electricity of up to 200 units every month gets a zero amount bill and he gets 50 per cent subsidy on the consumption of electricity between 201 and 400 units.
