At Greentree Solar, we are proud to align with national initiatives that transform the energy landscape and uplift communities. One such program lighting the path to a sustainable and energy-secure future is PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evamUtthaanMahabhiyan)—specifically, Component-A, which is a game-changer for India’s rural power sector.
What Is PM-KUSUM Component-A?
Component-A of PM-KUSUM focuses on:
Installation of grid-connected, ground-mounted solar power plants of capacity up to 2 MW, primarily on barren, fallow, or agricultural land.
These decentralized solar plants feed electricity directly into the local grid, enabling state DISCOMs to procure clean energy at low cost while providing a new revenue stream for land-owning farmers and cooperatives.
Why Component-A Matters
- Farmer Empowerment
Farmers or cooperatives lease unused land to solar developers or develop the projects themselves. This brings them:
- A stable lease income for 25 years
- An opportunity to co-own or co-develop energy assets
- Assurance of dual land use (e.g., elevated panels with crop cultivation or grazing below)
2. Rural Electrification & Grid Stability
Localized solar generation reduces transmission losses and enhances grid reliability in rural areas.
3. Clean Energy Milestone
Each megawatt installed under Component-A offsets over 1,500 tonnes of CO₂ annually, helping India inch closer to its Net-Zero 2070 goals.
