The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is taking significant steps toward promoting sustainable energy by installing rooftop solar power plants in 14 of its housing societies. This initiative aims to reduce electricity costs for residents and promote greener living environments. The LDA has issued tenders for on-grid solar power plants with capacities ranging from 10 kW to 200 kW.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be around Rs 4.5 crore, but the long-term financial benefits are substantial. With potential savings of 70-80% on electricity bills for common areas, this initiative promises to make a major impact on reducing costs for residents.
In addition to the residential societies, the LDA is also planning to install a 50 kW solar power plant at the Jyotiba Phule Zonal Park under the Kanpur Road scheme. These projects are part of the LDA’s broader efforts to promote renewable energy and reduce the environmental impact of the city’s infrastructure. LDA Vice-Chairman Prathmesh Kumar emphasized that the primary goal of the project is to reduce electricity expenses for common areas in these housing complexes while supporting a more sustainable energy model for the city. By harnessing solar energy, the LDA is contributing to a cleaner, greener, and more energy-efficient future for Lucknow.
