Workshop

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) collaborated with Gurgaon First to conduct this workshop on “Launch of Solar Action Plan for Gurugram” at Ibis Hotel, Gurugram. About 20 stakeholders attended. Eminent speakers included Mr Priyavrat Bhati (Programme Director, CSE), Mr Rakesh Kumar (Programme Director, ISA), Ms Vineeta Singh (Superintendent Engineer M&P, DHBVN), and Mr Rameshwar Singh (District Officer, HAREDA). CSE highlighted that despite Gurugram’s solar potential of 200–300 MW and falling costs, progress had stalled. A detailed action plan for residential and RWA solar adoption was launched at the event.

Gurugram had all the ingredients to become a solar rooftop city — abundant sun, conducive policy, large building stock, and a progressive mindset. Solar installations had risen sharply among schools, RWAs, hospitals, corporate buildings, industry, and individual homes, with installed capacity having crossed 25 MW. But the real potential was well over 100 MW. This inaugural roundtable brought stakeholders together to plan the transition from early adoption to city-scale solar.
