O R D E R:
It
is observed by the Government that demand for energy is ever increasing,
despite rapid increase in the power generation capacity, power shortage in the
country continues to persist. This gap
can be supplemented by utilisation of new and renewable sources of energy in
general and solar energy in particular as it is pollution free and available
in abundance and there is immense
potential for conservation of electricity and other conventional fuels by
utilisation of solar power with
consequent environmental benefits.
2. Government after careful examination
of the matter have decided to make use of solar energy for advertisement
hoardings / street lights and hot water as mandatory to conserve conventional
electrical energy. Therefore, the
following instructions are issued to all Commissioners of Municipal
Corporations / Municipalities, Vice-Chairmans of Urban Development Authorities
of the State ;
(i) All the Municipal Commissioners /
Vice-Chairmans of Urban Development Authorities shall take immediate action for
installation of solar system on the
existing Municipal buildings / Urban Development Authority Buildings and any
new building being built by the Urban Local Body concerned and shall use energy
efficient lamps;
(ii) The conventional lights
of advertisement hoardings shall be replaced by solar photo voltaic power at the cost of the franchisee.
(iii) Conventional lights of
all street lights (upto to 20 feet height ) shall be replaced by solar photo voltaic power.
(iv) Clearance of plan for
the proposed construction of hospitals,
nursing homes, hotels, guest houses, lodges
and Multi-storeyed buildings shall only be given (a) if they have a
provision in the building design itself for an insulated pipe line from the
roof top in the building to various distribution points where hot water is
required and the building must have a provision for continuous water supply to
the solar water heating system and should also have open space on the roof top
which receives direct sunlight; and (b) if they have a provision to make use of
energy efficient lamps. All new
buildings of the above category must complete installation of solar water
heating system and energy efficient lamps before obtaining necessary license to commence their business.
