Their work will be allotted to the concerned companies this month. Apart from this, surveys and investigations of 8 projects of 325 MW are going on.
The CM said that for the first time, the government was moving towards developing 200 panchayats of the state as 'Green Panchayats' in which 200 KV ground-mounted solar plants would be installed and the income from them would be spent on the development works of the Panchayat.
Sukhu said that in the solar energy sector, the 32 MW Pekhubela solar power project in Una district was dedicated to the public on April 15, 2024, and in the six-and-a-half-month period from April to October 2024, 34.19 million units of electricity have been generated through this project, generating an income of INR 10.16 crore.
He further updated that apart from this, a 5 MW solar power project at Bhanjal in Una district has been started on November 30, 2024, while the construction work of the 10 MW Aghlaur solar power project is also expected to be completed this month.
The CM asserted that the present state government is taking several steps towards making Himachal Pradesh the country's first 'Green Energy' state by 2026 so that there is no damage to the environment of the state.
He said that while harnessing green energy will help in environmental conservation, carbon emissions will also be reduced.
He said that green energy sources are renewable and do not get exhausted, which ensures the availability of energy to future generations and plays an important role in reducing the ill effects of climate change.
The CM further added that apart from this, a draft DPR of two tonnes per day capacity plant of compressed bio-gas has been prepared.
Additionally, grid-connected rooftop solar plants and water heating systems will be installed in the state's Bal and Balika Ashrams, Vridha Ashrams and Rajiv Gandhi Model Day-Boarding schools, said Sukhu.
