Surya Ghar Muft Bijlee : a 7 year journey

 Surya Ghar Muft Bijlee : a 7 year journey

=========================================
Two days back , Union Cabinet approved this scheme, as reported at :

Cabinet approves PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana for installing rooftop solar in One Crore households

Dear Shri R K Singhji ,

Although, this scheme echoes a number of suggestions which I sent through
following 57 e-mails, there is no mention of my following KEY suggestions :

Incentivizing :

( A )  Consumers
#  By giving 100 % subsidy . Totally FREE installation of 3 Kw Roof Top
Solar

( B )  DISCOMS
#  By fully compensating for loss of revenue + some incentive

( C )  Funding Agency ( REC )
#   By transferring all Carbon Credits earned by 1 crore ( 10 million )
installations

In absence of these, the Scheme is unlikely to achieve its target of 1 crore
households in 3 years

What is equally important is to integrate National Clean Cooking Scheme with Surya Ghar scheme,

- by EESL installing its 20 lakh, 1.5 Kw Electric Induction Stoves, along with
3 Kw Roof Top solar ( which will consume 180 units out of the
360 units generated per month ) . There will be a huge upside in the form of :

( 1 )  Additional Carbon Credits earned
( 2 )  Saving in use / import of LPG ( subsidy on just 3 cylinders will recover
the cost of Electric Stove )



With regards,
