The government of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has
introduced its 2016 policy for decentralized renewable energy systems with a
particular focus on rooftop solar PV.
The aim is to reduce the burden on conventional sources of
energy and lower distribution losses. Meanwhile, consumer electricity bills can
be lowered and energy independence increased.
The technology neutral policy still has the major focus on
distributed solar PV rooftop systems as they have “the largest potential for
mass replication amongst consumers and small independent power producers”,
according to the state policy makers.
Out of the target of 40GW of solar rooftop targeted by
India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy by 2022, Madhya Pradesh has been
allotted a target of 2.2GW. The annual capacity of targets for grid-connected
solar rooftop projects is as follows:
The grid-connected systems included involve net metering,
gross metering with wheeling and banking, as well as self-consumption. Off-grid
systems are also encouraged.
