Board to pay ₹3.50 per unit of power generated at solar farms proposed under the scheme
The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB), which had invited applications from landowners to join a campaign to generate solar power, has received enthusiastic response, with enquiries exceeding the proposed target of around 40 MW. KSEB sources said on Tuesday that the invitation was targeted at landowners, holding at least two acres or more, which were lying fallow, unsuitable for farming activities and receiving sufficient sunlight to generate solar power. The solar power generation programme was launched as part of an initiative of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha Evam Utthan Mahabhiyan (PM KUSUM) scheme, which aims to help farmers install solar pumps and grid-connected solar and other renewable power plants across the country.
