Explanation
In October 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Modhera, located in the Mehsana district of Gujarat, as India’s first 24x7 solar-powered village. This project serves as a global model for renewable energy transition at the grassroots level.
Key highlights of the initiative include:
- Integrated System: The village utilizes a ground-mounted solar power plant and over 1,300 rooftop solar systems on residential and government buildings.
- Energy Storage: To ensure round-the-clock power, the project is integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which stores solar energy during the day for use at night.
- Economic Impact: Modhera has become a net-zero energy generator, allowing residents to save 60% to 100% on their electricity bills.
- Heritage Link: The project also powers the historic 11th-century Sun Temple in Modhera, highlighting a synergy between ancient heritage and modern sustainable technology.
