Uttarakhand: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Dhami, the dream of energy state is coming true, the young Chief Ministers of the state are showing great interest in the Solar Self-Employment Scheme, 839 applications received in the last 11 months

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand’s resolve to become an energy state seems to be being fulfilled. In this direction, the Chief Minister Solar Self-Employment Scheme is proving to be very successful. The big thing is that from the hilly areas of the state to the plains, the youth of the state are showing great interest in setting up solar plants of 20 to 200 kilowatt capacity.

On the instructions of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Chief Minister Solar Self-Employment Scheme (MSSY) was revised on 13 March 2023. After this, 839 applications have been received on the Chief Minister Self-Employment Scheme portal msy.uk.gov.in for the establishment of 20/25/50/100 and 200 kilowatt power plants in the state. The important thing is that LOI has also been issued for 297 applications.

In the modified MSSY scheme, out of 839 applications, 297 numbers of LOAs with cumulative capacity of 44.94 MWp have been issued so far, as against the estimated investment of ₹13.6 crore in the erstwhile MSSY scheme with installed capacity of 3.43 MW, thereby creating employment opportunities in the state. Simultaneously, investment opportunities worth about ₹ 224 crore will be created.

After the installation of 44.94 MW under the new Chief Minister Solar Self-Employment Scheme, more employment opportunities will be created for the people of the state. With this, more opportunities will be created to achieve Net Zero target at the national level through green energy production. Residents of Uttarakhand are eagerly applying for the Modified MSSY scheme and the allotment process is ongoing till 246 MWp cumulative target achievement.

Under the able leadership of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the state is moving forward in the direction of green energy production as well as green economy.
