As per the new solar energy policy, the state will mandate 6% solar purchase obligation for all colleges and residential schools, IT parks, telecom towers, industries guaranteed with 24-hour power supply, special economic zones and buildings with a built up area of 20,000sqm or more. Till December 2013, high-tension consumers will have to ensure that 3% of their energy consumption is through solar energy. This will be increased to 6% from January 2014. Domestic consumers, huts, cottage and tiny industries, powerlooms, low-tension industrial consumers and agricultural consumers have been exempted from the solar purchase obligation.
This is part of the 'Tamil Nadu Solar Energy Policy 2012' that chief minister J Jayalalithaa unveiled on Saturday. It is aimed at generating 3,000MW of solar power by 2015. Apart from encouraging indigenous solar manufacturing facilities with incentives, the policy aims at promoting research and development in the sector and hybrid systems, besides creating skilled manpower and jobs.
Those installing solar systems would be given tax concessions, besides exemptions from electricity tax and demand cut.
