Freyr Energy Expands Solar Initiatives in Uttar Pradesh

Freyr Energy is making significant strides in expanding its presence within Uttar Pradesh’s residential rooftop solar market, with an ambitious target to provide solar power to over 1,000 homes by March 2025. The company has already established a solid foundation in the state, particularly in districts like Lakhimpur and Bahraich, where it has successfully solarised 10 villages, accumulating an installed capacity of more than 300 kW. This commitment underscores Freyr Energy’s dedication to advancing solar energy adoption, a crucial step in promoting sustainable energy solutions in one of India’s most populous states.

Freyr Energy’s recent projects, including the Subharti facility (1 MW), Enertia (450 kW), and Brijbasi Art Press (185 kW), exemplify its proactive approach to enhancing Uttar Pradesh’s renewable energy landscape. The company currently boasts a total installed solar capacity of 3.4 MW in the state, positioning it well for further growth in the residential sector. Central to Freyr Energy’s strategy is the introduction of innovative solutions designed to dismantle traditional barriers to solar adoption. These include attractive zero-cost EMI loan schemes and swift loan evaluations, making it easier for homeowners to transition to renewable energy sources.

The company’s user-friendly FreyrEnergy App streamlines the solar installation process, ensuring a seamless experience for clients from initial consultations through to post-installation services. This customer-centric approach aligns closely with Uttar Pradesh’s Renewable Energy Policy (MPREP-2022), which aims for the installation of 6,000 MW of rooftop solar projects by the 2026-27 timeframe. The supportive environment created by initiatives such as the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and substantial state subsidies—up to INR 98,000 for solar systems—further incentivises residents to adopt solar solutions. Freyr Energy’s spokesperson highlighted the collaborative effort with the Uttar Pradesh government and local communities in striving towards a sustainable future.
