Rajasthan Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot, has approved the allotment of 4,780 hectares of land for the establishment of four major solar projects in the Jaisalmer district. This strategic move aims to bolster Rajasthan's renewable energy capacity and contribute significantly to India's green energy goals. The state government?s decision will facilitate the installation of these solar plants by eminent companies such as Adani Renewable Energy Holding Four Limited, Renew Power Private Limited, and SB Energy Six Private Limited.
The projects, collectively expected to generate a substantial amount of solar power, will be set up in the Nokh Solar Park. Adani Renewable Energy will set up a 1,500 MW project, Renew Power will establish a 1,300 MW plant, and SB Energy will develop two projects with a total capacity of 2,000 MW. This initiative aligns with Rajasthan's commitment to enhance its renewable energy infrastructure, promoting sustainable development and reducing carbon footprints.
The allotted land will not only help in achieving higher renewable energy production but also support the local economy by creating job opportunities and enhancing the region?s development. These projects are part of a broader strategy to make Rajasthan a leading state in renewable energy production in India. The state government has been actively pursuing policies to attract investments in the renewable energy sector, offering various incentives and facilitating ease of doing business for developers.
Rajasthan's geographical advantage, with its vast arid lands and high solar insolation levels, makes it an ideal location for large-scale solar projects. The state has been a frontrunner in adopting green energy solutions, with several ongoing and proposed projects aimed at significantly boosting its solar power generation capacity.
The approval for land allotment marks a critical step towards the realization of these solar projects, highlighting the state's proactive approach in supporting renewable energy initiatives. By focusing on sustainable energy sources, Rajasthan continues to lead by example in the national mission for renewable energy, contributing to the global efforts in combating climate change.
