Guwahati: Assam has unveiled an impressive clean energy initiative, aiming to generate 3,000 MW of solar power by 2030. This sustainable development push is expected to reduce carbon emissions and meet growing electricity demands.
The state plans to significantly increase its solar capacity, targeting 3,000 MW by 2030. This ambitious goal will help reduce Assam’s reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.
A 500 MW solar installation is slated for the Karbi Anglong district, marking one of Assam’s largest solar projects. This facility will contribute substantially to the state’s renewable energy targets.
Assam is investing in battery storage systems to ensure reliable power distribution during peak demand. This initiative, in collaboration with APDCL and ONGC Tripura Power Company Ltd., will stabilize the grid and provide uninterrupted renewable energy.
By strengthening Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Assam is encouraging private sector participation in renewable energy projects. This collaboration is expected to drive innovation, efficiency, and investment in the sector.
Assam is upgrading rural electricity infrastructure by replacing traditional overhead lines with aerial cables and adding transformers. This upgrade will provide reliable power to rural communities, supporting local development and quality of life.
Assam’s partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will further boost renewable energy development, ensuring long-term sustainability and energy security in the state.
