Punjab Government Plans 66 Solar Power Plants

The Punjab government is considering the establishment of 66 solar power plants, each with a capacity of 4 MW, according to Aman Arora, Minister of New and Renewable Energy Sources.
In a recent meeting with Power Minister Harbhajan Singh and senior officials from various departments, strategies for the clean energy project were discussed. Once completed, the plants are expected to produce approximately 390 million units (MU) of electricity annually.
The initiative is projected to save around Rs 136 crore per year through feeder-level solarisation and attract an investment of Rs 1,056 crore. This project will also create job opportunities for both skilled and semi-skilled workers.
