Newdelhi:12/8/245:The Scheme Guidelines for implementation of ‘Model Solar Village’ under PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana have been notified by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy on 9th August 2024.

Under the scheme component ‘Model Solar Village’, emphasis has been made on creating one Model Solar Village per district across India, to promote solar energy adoption and enable village communities to become self-reliant in meeting their energy needs. A total financial outlay of ₹800 crore has been allocated for this component, providing ₹1 crore per selected Model Solar Village.

To be considered a village under the competition mode, a village must be a revenue village with a population size above 5,000 (or 2,000 for special category states). The selection process involves a competitive mode where villages are assessed on their overall distributed renewable energy (RE) capacity installed 6 months after the declaration of the potential candidate by the District Level Committee (DLC).

The winning village in each district, with the highest RE capacity, will receive a central financial assistance grant of ₹1 crore. The implementation of this scheme will be done by State/UT Renewable Energy Development Agency under the supervision of District Level Committee (DLC), ensuring that selected villages transition effectively to solar-powered communities, serving as models for other villages across the country.

The Government of India approved the PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana on 29th February 2024, to increase the share of solar rooftop capacity and empower residential households to generate their electricity. The scheme has an outlay of Rs 75,021 crore and is to be implemented till FY 2026-27.
