The Delhi government will increase power generation capacity by 6,000 MW in the next three years using renewable energy sources through various initiatives, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said Thursday.
The AAP government, Sisodia said, was on a war footing to meet Delhi’s electricity demand using renewable energy and its target was to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and meet power demand using renewable energy to make the city self-reliant in its energy needs.
The aim was also to ensure an uninterrupted 24×7 electricity supply for citizens and meet the growing power demand, he added, even as he emphasised on faster adoption of rooftop solar panels by Delhi government offices, schools and other buildings, as per the city’s new solar policy.
