State to encourage all households to set up solar panels: Electricity Minister
The State Government is trying to focus on solar energy as the fuel for the future and is planning to encourage every household to set up solar panels, Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty has said.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch of the pole-mounted electric vehicle charging stations in Kozhikode on Saturday, the Minister said households could get an extra income by selling excess electricity to the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).
Mr. Krishnankutty also said that autorickshaw drivers could save up to ₹16,000 per month as fuel expense, with the introduction of the pole-mounted charging stations, and added that there were plans to implement the e-autorickshaw system in other parts of Kerala. He said the State was in talks with the Kerala Bank to help common people avail loans to buy e-autorickshaws at a low interest rate.
