Energy & Power
The Bihar Renewable Energy Development Agency (BREDA) has set a target of 500 MW of rooftop solar on state government buildings by 2029–30. The plants will be grid-connected and built under the RESCO model, in which a developer installs and runs the plant and the department buys the power.
At a review meeting at Vidyut Bhawan in Patna, departments were asked to list their buildings, and a draft power purchase agreement was discussed. The next step is checking which roofs are suitable.
