The Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023, notified in March 2024, aims to accelerate solar adoption in the capital by targeting significant increases in both rooftop and utility-scale solar capacity to make Delhi a leader in urban renewable energy deployment.
The Delhi Solar Energy Policy 2023 sets ambitious targets to transform the capital into a solar-powered city:
A RESCO company leases the consumer's rooftop and sells power directly to DISCOM via PPA. Consumer signs net metering agreement for energy credit.
For consumers without suitable rooftops to own a share of a community solar plant within the same DISCOM area.
Enables real-time purchase of surplus solar power from other consumers through a digital trading platform.
A dedicated cell within EE&REM department to monitor and support policy implementation.
Headed by Hon'ble Minister of Power, GNCTD to review policy progress quarterly.
Solar plants up to 500 kVA exempt from inspection by Electrical Inspector.
The policy offers both State incentives and Central financial assistance (MNRE) to encourage solar adoption
Capital subsidy of ₹10,000 per kW (up to 3 kW) in line with the PM Suryaghar Scheme
Up to 3 kW
>3 kW to 10 kW
Up to 500 kW (10 kW/house)
First 200 MW deployed
Solar plants up to 500 kVA are exempt from inspection by the Electrical Inspector as per Ministry of Power notification dated 16.05.2016, simplifying the installation process and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for consumers.
IPGCL, a Delhi Government undertaking, will install solar systems on government buildings, leading by example and significantly contributing to the overall solar capacity target while reducing government electricity expenses.
