Punjab Energy Development Agency

Punjab Energy Development Agency was formed in Sept. 1991 as a state nodal agency for promotion and development of renewable energy programmes/projects and energy conservation programme in the state of Punjab. PEDA is registered as a Society under the Societies Act of 1860.

PEDA is setting different NRSE devices/System through its dealer network established at the distt./block level. In addition a chain of private dealer has also been set up for providing these services to the beneficiaries in the state. Self Employed Workers have been trained for promoting the use of various NRSE devices/systems as well as after sale/installation services to the people in their area of operation.

Major thrust has been given to provide facilities to the private developers by PEDA for the development of renewable energy projects in the state. New and Renewable Sources of Energy Policy-2012  (NRSE) has been formulated and approved recently by the state govt. for implementation in the state, which provides for a greater degree of private sector participation in the development of the renewable energy potential in the state.
