ADB’s Technical Assistance (TA) Program is an initiative under the able guidance of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) that aims to remove identified barriers to large-scale adoption of Rooftop Solar (RTS) through enhancement of the institutional capacity of DISCOMs and other RTS stakeholders. The program is currently being implemented in India across Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep and Telangana. This covers DISCOMs, SNAs, State Power Departments, and SERCs. Activities include support to streamline tendering and applications for grid-connection of rooftop PV systems, to implement net-metering/gross-metering policies in the country, aggregate demand and to increase consumer awareness about RTS, as well as to assist with the creation of large numbers of trained and accredited rooftop PV certification agents.
