The Rs 1.35 billion project is expected to have significant environmental benefits, reducing 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide over the next 25 years. The Punjab government says (http://www.aninews.in/newsdetail2/story264643/punjab-cm-inaugurates-world-039-s-largest-single-roof-top-solar-power-plant.html) that the project will generate e**ugh electricity to power 8,000 homes and hopes that it will be a role model for other states to replicate similar rooftop solar plants.
