Karnataka to come out with solar energy policy soon

The Karnataka Government will come out with a solar energy policy soon, according to DK Shivkumar, Karnataka Power Minister. Addressing presspersons here on Sunday, he said the Government would encourage people to take up rooftop solar energy production under this policy. If they have excess power after generating power through rooftop solar system, they can supply it to the State grid. Such people will be given a good price for the power they sold to the grid, he said. Added to this, the Government would ask new building owners to have provisions for producing solar energy on the rooftop. The proposed policy will be placed before the Cabinet soon. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-others/tp-states/karnataka-to-come-out-with-solar-energy-policy-soon/article5744543.ece
