Odisha crosses 1 lakh rooftop solar installations under ULA approach in a year

Bhubaneswar, Sep 30 (UNI) Odisha has achieved a major milestone in rooftop solar adoption, completing more than one lakh installations under the Unified Local Area (ULA) approach within a year, taking the total number of rooftop solar installations in the state beyond two lakh under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.
The rapid expansion marks a sharp acceleration in household adoption of rooftop solar in the state. From around 15,000 installations a year ago, Odisha has now crossed the two-lakh mark, reflecting the growing uptake of clean energy among households.
The achievement has been driven by financial assistance, focused consumer outreach, effective implementation and sustained efforts by electricity distribution companies to take rooftop solar schemes to households and communities across the state.
