By 2019, Delhi would have over 1,000MW of clean energy, lessening the burden on fossil fuel, said power minister Mr Satyendar Jain. After six months of deliberations, all three discoms and the power ministry have agreed in principle to switch to green energy. The department has approved subsidies for solar pumps for Delhi farmers. Central PSU Solar Energy Corporation of India is the nodal agency and would be in charge of the tender process over the next three months. The solar panels, though, would be set up elsewhere in the country; Delhi would only buy the power generated.
