CM Solar Mission – Meghalaya New and Renewable Energy Development Agency

CM Solar Mission

Low rural electrification and unreliable electricity supply constrained healthcare, education, livelihoods, and digital inclusion across the state.
Difficult terrain made grid expansion expensive and operationally challenging, causing frequent load shedding and disruptions in daily life and essential services.
Dependence on kerosene and diesel backup systems increased household costs and contributed to avoidable emissions.
Lack of reliable power in schools limited learning outcomes and reduced productive hours for students.
The ecologically sensitive nature of the state required low-impact and climate-aligned energy pathways for development.

Implemented decentralised solar systems with need-based sizing ranging from 850 VA to 40 kVA for households, enterprises, hospitals, and other institutions.
Introduced off-grid solar packages of 1.1 kVA and 2.2 kVA for 2,346 lower primary schools.
Installed solar water heaters with 100 LPD capacity to reduce dependence on conventional thermal energy sources.
Established five-year comprehensive maintenance contracts supported by district-level service presence and service level agreements.
Created a digital portal and district-level monitoring committees to verify installations and ensure accountability through milestone-based payments.

Approximately 10.48 MW of distributed solar capacity was added under the CM Solar Mission.
Around 11,526 metric tons of CO₂ emissions are avoided annually, contributing to climate benefits.
More than one crore productive man-hours are generated annually across beneficiary households.
Over 64,000 additional daily study hours are enabled for students through uninterrupted electricity supply.
Reliable electricity access is provided to households, schools, MSMEs, and hospitals,
