Jammu and Kashmir has approved a draft policy to deliver
450MW of rooftop PV plants by 2022, according to consultancy firm Mercom
Capital Group.
The draft law was announced back in October
last year seeking to introduce net metering to the state.
The 10-year policy from the Department of Science and
Technology of the government of Jammu and Kashmir will account for system sizes
between 1-1000kW.
A Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency (JAKEDA)
official told Mercom that the policy will ease the burden on the state’s
transmission and distribution network.
Last week, JAKEDA also tendered for 37.8MW of
grid-connected rooftop solar.
Analyst firm Crisil recently forecast that India would hit 12GW
of rooftop by 2022.
