Can we make suryapet a solar city?
Already suryapet municipality has initiated energy saving initiatives in the street lighting, watersupply ,etc. The same is elucidated in the blog with a caption of energy saving.Some initiatives are also taken in private sector also.
Exemplary initiatives taken in energy conservation /renewable energy by the private sector:
1. Suryapet Municipality initiated a programme by encouraging each employee to purchase one solar light.
2. Municipal Commissioner convinced one private Junior College and Sudhakar P.V.C. Company to replace the existing lighting systems with L E Ds and succeeded in implementing the same by them.
3. Solar LED/ CFL inverters were installed in (16) houses including staff houses. The Bankers were requested to arrange loans for the same, steps are taken to schedule the loan re-payment at affordable level and EMI fixed is almost equal to the saving.
4. 15 Solar lanterns were supplied to poor people through NED CAP, on subsidy.
5. 2000 Solar lanterns were supplied to staff of other departments & people in the town.
6. 66 solar lanterns were supplied to staff of Suryapet Municipality.
7. 500 solar fans were supplied in Suryapet town.
8. One electrical shop has come forward to sell the solar inverters by having tie up with local Bank for soft loan and subsidy through NABARD..
Responsibilities:
Municipality has enough expertise in solar energy. The head of town planning wing is responsible for installing solar utilities in all the new buildings. Sanitary Inspector is responsible for installing solar utilities in commercial establishments. Municipal Engineer is responsible for implementing the project and installation in office, water works, etc.
The town presidents of all parties would be members of local expert group. The hon’ble M.L.A. would chair the expert group.

Participation of companies
Some companies are already expressed the willingness to participate in the solar city programme.The are ready to express their willingness for deployment of additional staff for the purpose of motivation, execution, installation and servicing.
IEC
