The Indian state of Uttarakhand has invited applications for the installation of 10MW of grid-connected rooftop PV and small-scale solar systems of 5kW size each.

The Uttarakhand Renewable Energy Development Agency (UREDA) has been set a target by the central government to install 350MW of solar by 2022, of which 44MW has been sanctioned in first phase. The small-scale systems will benefit from net metering rules and a feed-in tariff for the power generated will be decided by the Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (UERC).
