Electricity from solar power is being generated using solar panels installed on rooftops of government offices, factories and even houses in Prayagraj today. There are many institutions in the district that are generating and providing electricity to the power department.
While till a few years ago the district was fully dependent on non-renewable sources of energy, now the use of solar power has gradually increased.
On National Energy Conservation Day— celebrated every year on December 14 since 1991, to drive mass awareness about the importance of energy efficiency and conservation—official records show that electricity worth more than ₹20 crore is being generated from solar energy every month in Prayagraj district.
