IPGCL:
Embedding Solar Infrastructure Across the Capital

20+ MW Capacity

350+ Govt. Sites

RESCO Model

25+ years Lifecycle

As part of Delhi’s renewable energy transition, the Government of NCT Delhi is implementing grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems across government buildings and public institutions throughout the capital. The initiative is being executed through Indraprastha Power Generation Company Ltd. (IPGCL) in collaboration with EE&REM under the RESCO model.

Horizon Renewable Power has been selected to execute 20 MW+ under this program, covering more than 350 government buildings across Delhi.

This is not a centralized solar park hidden outside the city. It is energy infrastructure embedded directly into the capital itself,  rooftops across offices, institutions, and public buildings collectively becoming part of Delhi’s distributed power network.

Project Scope

  • Feasibility assessment and rooftop evaluation
  • Site survey, design, engineering & project planning
  • Supply, storage, civil work, erection, testing, & commissioning of rooftop solar systems
  • Grid connectivity approvals & DISCOM coordination
  • Net metering & utility integration
  • Execution of long-term PPAs under the RESCO framework
  • Comprehensive O&M for 25 years
  • Full lifecycle ownership and long-term operational accountability

Execution Complexity

The project demands coordinated execution across live public infrastructure with zero disruption.

  • 350+ active government buildings across Delhi
  • Dense urban conditions & rooftop access constraints
  • Multiple departments, institutions, & building typologies
  • Site-specific structural, electrical, & shadow feasibility assessments
  • Utility approvals and DISCOM coordination across locations
  • Long-duration performance, warranty, & O&M obligations across distributed assets

Impact

20 MW distributed solar capacity

~3.13 crore units (kWh) of clean energy annually

~23,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided/year

Equivalent to CO₂ absorbed by 10.3 Lakh trees annually
