Jharkhand government Friday claimed that they have electrified 7740 houses with ‘solar alone’ systems and solar plants. The government said that the villages located in remote and inaccessible areas of Jharkhand are now ‘illuminated’ with the help of solar energy.
A press release issued by Chief Minister Secretariat said: “A total of 7740 villages were identified by Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited where electricity was still inaccessible. It was not feasible to electrify these villages through conventional methods due to inaccessible hills and forests. In such a situation, such villages have been electrified with solar stand-alone systems and solar power plants.”
