MP to produce 10,000 MW of solar power by 2020: CM

Friday, 27 November 2020 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that deteriorating environment is posing danger to the existence of the society. Use of other means of renewable energy including solar energy can save us from this danger.

Madhya Pradesh will show unprecedented work in the field of solar energy. The New and Renewable Energy Department was created in the year 2010, in Madhya Pradesh. After solar power generation of 400 MW in the year 2012, we have reached 5000 MW production from renewable energy at present. The target is to produce 10 thousand MW by the year 2022. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan was addressing a programme on the occasion of beginning of Energy Swaraj Yatra in Minto Hall today.

Chouhan said that efforts will be made to popularize solar energy further. Prof. Chetan Solanki, youth from Madhya Pradesh has proceeded on the Energy Swaraj Yatra for public awareness, and will stay away from his family for 11 years. Honouring him for this important work of national welfare, he is being made the brand ambassador of Madhya Pradesh. We shall have to participate in the efforts of Prof. Chetan Solanki. Prime Minister Modi has also said that solar energy is Pure, Sure and Secure. It does no harm to the environment. Every citizen should extend heartiest greetings to Prof. Solanki.
