Punjab is a royal state of north India. Energy Conservation is one of the most crucial subjects today and Punjab is endowed with vast potential of solar energy with over 300 days of sunshine in a year and this key Renewable Energy Source is being efficiently exploited by PEDA. As the state is endowed with vast potential of solar energy estimated at 4-7 KWH/Sq.mtr of solar insolation levels.
The Punjab Government has launched a draft version of its renewable energy policy, which aims to meet 21% of its power requirement through renewable energy by the year 2030. The policy has set a target of deploying 3,000 MW of solar projects by 2030.
