City Accelerator Program

The Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched the City Accelerator Program. The program is being implemented in collaboration with Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF).

• The City Accelerator Program is a key initiative under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGMBY), the world’s largest domestic rooftop solar (RTS) scheme, and aims to drive faster adoption of RTS across Indian cities.

• The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, launched by the Government of India, seeks to solarise 1 crore households and is a critical part of India’s commitment to achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

• The City Accelerator Program supports this vision by targeting urban areas—key hubs of energy consumption—with a focused and structured approach.
