Project Details
Solar energy has started playing an increasingly important role for augmentation of grid power, providing energy access and reducing consumption of fossil fuels. The need for solar power is seen rising in the rural areas, as these areas are highly dependent upon grid power, which is very erratic. Once the power is shut down due to natural calamities or technical snags, it takes hours and often days to restore it. This has caused a lot of inconvenience to the people in their works. Due to non-availability of solar lighting, there is limited movement of people in the village after dark. In addition, there is no provision to support installation of Solar Power plant in any of the government schemes given the financial condition of the state.Therefore, the project is proposed for installation of 5 KW Solar Power Plant (off grid) at Zunheboto Town Council Office to ensure improvement in the quality of public services provided to the people at large. Availability of assured and continuous power supply is also expected to bring a number of social and economic benefits including improvements in security through street lighting, increase productivity and quality of village artisans, cottage industries, increased access to communication technologies, and increased outcomes in areas related to public service delivery including health and education.The Zunheboto Town Council covers all 13 wards of Zunheboto Town with a total population of 22,623.
