GUWAHATI: To boost power production and promote clean energy, Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal laid the foundation stone for a 70 MW Solar Park at Japisajja village in Amguri, Sibsagar district on February 27.
The Solar Park will be set up in an area of 340 acres of land and will have a production life of 25 years. It will provide facilities for research and development in the field of solar energy.
Sonowal said that this power project will give new momentum to the state government’s self-declared goal of making Assam self-sufficient in terms of power production.
He added that the state government has set up a target to generate 6500 MW power in the state by 2030 and that this goal can only be achieved by leveraging the power production capacity of the state.
