Lucknow has taken the lead in Uttar Pradesh in terms of rooftop solar installations under the PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme. With over 62,000 rooftop solar setups, the city has played a key role in pushing the state beyond the milestone of three lakh installations. The scheme, launched in 2024, aims to provide affordable and clean energy by offering subsidies that enable households to generate their own electricity and receive up to 300 free units per month. Lucknow’s performance highlights effective implementation, public participation, and growing awareness of renewable energy benefits.
