While trying to give power to houses in remote and out of reach regions of the state where zap isn't conceivable because of the remote landscape, the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) will soon be giving off-grid power by setting up solar energy plants.

Furthermore, deal with charging upwards of 1.54 crore country and three lakh urban family units crosswise over UP under Center's Saubhagya Yojana is in progress. The 'power for all' plan of the administration is gone for giving force associations with every single family unit by December 2018.

UPPCL executive engineer PA Moga said, "The government's aim is to increase the standard of living of the people in the remote areas that lack the infrastructure for electrification. There are certain places where electrification is not feasible as these are separated by some water bodies such as rivers or canals. Therefore, the UP government is now planning to provide solar energy to the houses in such areas. Solar power will offer an opportunity to bridge this infrastructure gap and improve the standard of living of the people."

Moga added, "Providing solar energy to these villages will substantially reduce health hazards by enabling the replacement of kerosene lamps."

Authorities said small solar grids will be set up in the recognizedfartherzones, which will cover one or more towns as per the prerequisite of the stack. Each house will be associated with it. "Work for identification of the number of inaccessible areas in the state is with NEDA. Based on the areas identified, the budget for the scheme will be estimated and the requirement will be sent to the government. The cost of providing solar power connections to urban poor and other families is yet to be decided," Moga added.
