Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that 17.6% of households benefiting from the PM Surya Ghar-Muft Bijli Yojana in the state are now paying no electricity bills. This initiative has significantly reduced electricity expenses for many households in Assam, showcasing the success of the renewable energy program.
The Chief Minister highlighted the positive impact of the scheme on Assam, emphasizing how it has helped households transition to clean energy sources and save on electricity costs. By enabling households to generate electricity through rooftop solar panels, the PM Surya Ghar initiative is ensuring energy security and economic benefits for consumers.
Under the program, eligible households in Assam have been encouraged to install rooftop solar panels with financial assistance from the government. This move not only reduces reliance on traditional power sources but also aligns with Assam’s renewable energy objectives for the future. Assam’s progress in implementing the PM Surya Ghar scheme has positioned the state as one of the top performers nationwide in promoting solar energy adoption.
