Solar Energy Scheme : Question raised in Loksabha

लोकसभा में उर्जा मंत्रालय को पूछे गए प्रश्न का केंद्र सरकार का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हुए उर्जा और विद्युत् राज्य मंत्री ने कहा कि सरकार द्वारा चलाये गए सहज बिजली हर घर योजना – “सौभाग्य” का उद्येश्य शहरी और ग्रामीण सभी गैर-विद्युतीकरण घरों को बिजली पहुंचाना. इसी उद्येश्य की पूर्ति में योगदान के लिए सौर उर्जा योजना का आरम्भ किया गया. 

इसके तहत जहाँ ग्रिड वाली बिजली नहीं पहुच पाई थी वहां सौर उर्जा वाली स्टैंडअलोन प्रणाली की लास्ट माइल कनेक्टिविटी देते हुए सार्वभौमिक घरेलु विद्युतिकरण के लक्ष्य को प्राप्त किया जा सके. 

सौभाग्य योजना के  तहत जहाँ देश भर में कुल 2.63 करोड़ परिवारों का विद्युतीकरण किया गया वहीं इसमें सौर उर्जा प्रणाली के माध्यम से 3 लाख परिवारों को विद्युतीकरण किया गया.
