kites and threads remain on the land.

Because of the ver y long life and

non-biodegradable nature of the plastic and

glass materials, these threads become a

cause for concern from an environmental

perspective;

"Goem Vinamulya Vij Yevjan for Grid Connected Solar Rooftop System, 2024"

The following scheme is approved by the Government and is hereby published for the general information of the public.

Preamble.— In the major initiative, Government of India under the National Solar Mission has set a target of 450GW power generation through Renewable Energy in the country by 2030.

Installation of rooftop solar plant on a large scale is one of the best initiatives, as in such plants, there are no requirements of land, energy is consumed where it is generated; there would be no element of transmission loss or wheeling loss and such plants would be in interest of public at large as well as State utilities. Therefore, with a view to promote large scale rooftop solar systems on private residential roofs-terraces, the Government vide its Notification in Official Gazette, Series I No. 19 dated 6th August, 2020 had introduced a subsidy scheme for solar rooftops in residential sector and commercial sector. As a result of this subsidy scheme, over 100 households have taken the benefits of the subsidy scheme under which an aggregate capacity of appx.1 MW of solar rooftops in residential and commercial sector were commissioned.

The Government vide its Notification in Official Gazette, Series I No. 48 dated 29th February, 2024 revised the subsidy scheme for promotion of Grid Connected Solar Rooftop System with Net, Group Net and Virtual Net Metering FY 2023-2026 including the Central Financial Assistance.

The State of Goa has an installed capacity of 10 MW on Residential Rooftop and overall capacity of 70 MW including Industrial and Commercial Installations. The transition to Solar by Residential Consumers is slow due to the low tariff of Electricity in the State. The Low Tariff for Residential Consumers necessitates Budgetary support and loss of about 300 Crores annually to the Goa Electricity Department.

The State of Goa has adopted Clean Energy Road Map 2050 and has set a target of achieving of 100 percent Electricity from Renewable Sources by 2030.

To give further boost for promotion of solar rooftops in the State for residential sector including the target set for 100 percent Renewable Energy and to ensure Zero Electricity Bill and Free Residential Rooftop up to 5 KW for Residential Consumers consuming 400 units or less per month for each month of the last 1-year period, the State of Goa to provide subsidy to achieve a target of additional 10 MW of Residential Rooftop by June 2025.
