Gurugram becomes the<\/strong>\u00a011th Most Polluted Cities in the World<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Millenium\u00a0city\u00a0of Gurugram has become the 11th Most Polluted Cities in the World<\/strong>, nothing to take pride in! The city, located in Delhi NCR has become home to a large and growing gen-next population looking for professional opportunities. Given the rising population in the city, there has been an increase in pollution levels – both from a rising number of private cars and uber cabs, and\u00a0diesel generator sets used as power\u00a0backup. Given the high temperatures in the city, there is a high demand for power for running fans and ACs. However, there is an intermittent supply of power in the so-called\u00a0millennium city.<\/p>\n

\"Rooftop<\/a><\/p>\n

The government of Haryana now wants to solarize its two prominent cities – Gurugram and Faridabad to take corrective actions. As a result, it has mandated the installation\u00a0of rooftop solar panels on government buildings. Gurugram alone has a peak power demand of 1600 MW\u00a0on a hot summer day, whereas the city just has a total of 25 MW of solar power<\/strong> installed till date. The city has made a very slow progress in this area, even though the state had made it compulsory\u00a0to install\u00a0rooftop solar <\/strong><\/a>for any institution above a certain size, even earlier. However, poor implementation of policies and lack of proper infrastructure had earlier led to a slow progress. Customers are facing hurdles in getting a rooftop solar installation in the form of getting the rebates mandated to them under the law, failure on the part of DHBVN to install net meters for rooftop\u00a0solar and\u00a0inadequate policies for the discoms to run smoothly etc.<\/p>\n

Solar comes as a natural solution to Haryana’s power problems as the state has high solar irradiation levels with 320 sunny days, and is one of the most industrialized and fastest growing states in the country.\u00a0Let’s hope this new title for Gurugram being the\u00a011th Most Polluted Cities in the World <\/strong>acts as a wake-up call for the government of Haryana.<\/p>\n
