Gujarat will take distinctive initiatives to fulfill the dream of achieving the target of producing 175 Giga Watts\u2019s renewable energy by year 2022 as envisaged by Prime Minister Mr. Narendrabhai Modi, says
\nGujarat Chief Minister Mr. Vijaybhai Rupani in Gandhinagar, today.
\nThe Chief Minister categorically stated that Gujarat will take frontal position in
\nproducing renewable energy in the country. For which, the state government
\nhas chalked out a planned to make invest of approximately Rs. 100,000-crore
\nin next three years.
\nGujarat Energy Minister Mr. Saurabhbhai Patel stated that at present the
\ncontribution of renewable energy is 7645 mw which is 28 % of Gujarat\u2019s total
\ncapacity, against which the target by year 2022 is set to 22,922 MW, means
\napproximately 53 % (almost double) and planning is also done accordingly.
\nMr. Patel and minister of state for energy Mr. Pradipsinh Jadeja jointly further
\nstated that 10,000 mw solar-energy would be produced in next three years in
\nGujarat, which included solar-park with capacity of 5,000mw at Dholera. The<\/p>\n
tenders to produce 1,000 mw energy at this solar-park would be announced
\nsoon.
\nBesides this, the state government has decided to setup a solar-park with
\ncapacity of 700 mw at Radha-Neshda and another solar-park with capacity of
\n500 mw at Harshad in Banaskantha district, the duo said and added that
\nrecently the state government has invited tenders for purchasing 500 mw solar
\nenergy from various companies.
\nCounting out the initiatives undertaken by the state government for energy
\nproduction, the ministers said that the Gujarat government has decided to
\nallow the private companies to setup solar energy production units on the
\nwaste lands with minimum capacity of 20mw. In the first phase, at least, 50
\nsuch waste land plots have been identified. As the second initiatives, the state
\ngovernment has prepared \u2018Small Scale Distributor Solar Project\u2019, which is first
\nof its kind in the country. It is expected to produce 2,000 mw of solar energy
\nfrom this initiative, a detail policy for which would soon be declared. The third
\ninitiative is \u2018Roof-Top Scheme\u2019 to produce energy, which is presently producing
\n233 mw energy.
\nBesides solar energy, the state government is also planning to encourage wind-
\nenergy for which the state government has chalked out a distinct planning,
\nthey said and added that the target of producing wind-energy in next three
\nyears is set to 5,000 mw. Of which, the production of 4,000 mw wind-energy
\nwould be done from Kutch alone.
\nA wind-energy production plant, first of its kind in the country, with a capacity
\nof 1,000 mw would be setup in mid-sea at Pipavav Port, they added.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
