The proposals include provision of subsidised solar pumps, generation based incentive scheme for domestic solar roof tops, besides presenting awards to those who use solar power lights effectively.
The government has proposed to provide "generation based incentive for domestic solar roof-tops for a total maximum capacity of 50 MW during this financial year", the energy department said in its policy note.
Besides this, the government is also mulling providing subsidised solar pumps (86 per cent subsidy-- 56 per cent from Ministry of Agriculture and 30 per cent from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy) on a pilot basis to select applicants for agriculture service connections.
The Government has also planned to recognise usage of solar roof-tops by presenting the Chief Minister's Awards which would be given annually to different categories of consumers generating maximum solar energy, it said.
A 60kW roof-top solar power plant at the Electricity Board office headquarters here would also be set up for promoting solar energy.
The policy note said government has proposed to distribute one crore CFL lamps at a subsidised cost of Rs 15 per bulb to achieve a savings of around 250MW at a cost of Rs 85 crore.
Energy efficient agricultural pump-sets (having a minimum three star label) would be made mandatory for new connections.
