This article in Review of Agrarian Studies (14,1) by Juhi Chatterjee and Tejal Kanitkar examines the shift to solar irrigation pump-sets in two villages in Hardoi district, Uttar Pradesh, highlighting the economic feasibility and impact of solar technology on different farmer groups. It found that while solar irrigation can enhance productivity, it remains cost-prohibitive for small landholders compared to subsidized grid electricity. The study advocates for targeted policies that support larger farmers in adopting solar technology while ensuring smaller farmers have access to affordable energy options.

☀️🔋💦 The transition to solar-powered irrigation (SIP) in South Asia presents a valuable opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen reliance on costly diesel. Given the complexity of the region’s agricultural system, which is characterized by small landholdings and tenant farmers, a diverse range of institutional models is essential for effectively scaling SIPs. In this article, IWMI researchers explore three distinct solar irrigation pump (SIP) implementation models currently in use in Bangladesh. These models offer a unique opportunity to evaluate and gain insights into the solarization process, providing valuable lessons that can be applied to neighboring countries facing similar challenges.
