BHUBANESWAR : Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, has signed an MoU with the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (OREDA), the state’s nodal agency for renewable energy, to accelerate rooftop solar power adoption among residential customers under PM Surya Ghar programme.

The state offers up to Rs 60,000 in subsidies for up to 3 KW rooftop solar adoption. Along with Rs 78,000 of central government subsidy, the total subsidy available to consumers is up to Rs 1,38,000 for up to 3 KW rooftop units.
