LUCKNOW: Ayodhya is taking
strides
towards clean energy solutions to address its energy requirements. Currently, the work of development and operation of a solar power plant capable of generating 40 MW of electricity in Majha Rampur Halwara village of Navya Ayodhya has reached the final stage.
In line with chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision to harness solar energy for power generation, a solar power plant is currently under development and operation, spanning 165 acres for Rs 200 crore.
It is worth highlighting that Vision 2047 places significant emphasis on solar energy within Ayodhya's comprehensive development plan. Consequently, the establishment of this solar power plant is poised to play a pivotal role in steering Ayodhya towards becoming a city powered by solar energy.
For the establishment of this plant, under the guidance of CM Yogi, the district administration has provided land on a 30-year lease to the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) at the rate of Rs 1 per acre per year. UPNEDA, in turn, has engaged NTPC Green Energy Limited to operate the plant on this land.
For the development and operation of the plant, Jackson Solar, a notable solar panel producer and a prominent player in the solar energy sector in the country, has been contracted by NTPC through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Ratan Singh, head of project and additional general manager of NTPC Green Energy Limited, said that the total capacity of this solar power plant will be 40 MW of power generation and that it will produce 8.65 crore units of power per year. The total cost of this project is Rs 200 crore and the work of developing the plant located on 165 acres has been entrusted to Jackson Solar, which is a leader among the Indian companies working in the solar energy sector.AGENCIES
