Punjab has been bestowed with as many as five awards in renewable energy sector for outstanding performance in various fields

It is a matter of pride for us all that Punjab has been bestowed with as many as five awards in renewable energy sector for outstanding performance in various fields including first award for highest capacity addition in grid connected solar rooftop power in the country for 2014–15. Punjab also has the distinction of having highest cumulative number of solar water pumps and highest capacity addition of off-grid waste to energy plants. These awards are a stamp of approval on our claims that despite having just 2 per cent of the total country area, Punjab is leading the way in renewable energy capacity addition in the country.
