Modhera. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to announce today that Modhera village of Mehsana district of Gujarat will be given the status of the country’s first solar powered village. This has become the first solar village in the country. Modhera village has become the first village in the country to use solar energy 24 hours a day. This is realizing PM Modi’s vision of clean energy. There is also an ancient and famous Sun Temple here. Solar power plant has been installed in Modhera village. There are more than 1300 solar power panels installed in all the houses and government offices. These are connected to the batteries through the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The special thing about the village is that every house and office here is illuminated with solar energy.
Modhera himself generates electricity equal to the consumption of his village. The electricity bill in the houses here either does not come, or it comes very less. According to the government, this picture of renewable energy is a picture of India’s future. The intention of the government is to make every village in the country self-sufficient in clean electricity generation. Apart from Modhera, more than 1300 houses in Sujanpur and Samlanapara of Gujarat also get electricity from solar energy.
