Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) has chalked out a plan to utilise the unused roofs of state government buildings to generate solar power.
According to an official source, the scheme proposes to set up solar power plants with a capacity to generate minimum 15 mega watt (MW) power on the rooftop of buildings owned by the state government.
The APDCL has also planned to set up standalone solar power plants at primary health centres (PHCs) located in off-grid remote villages.
“The scheme for rooftop solar photovoltaic power plants on government buildings and standalone solar power plants at PHCs in off-grid villages has been proposed under the state’s own priority development programme for 2019-20 fiscal for an amount of Rs 51 crore,” the source said.
