Madhya Pradesh: Rewa solar project included as a case study by America's top Harvard University

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the state is progressing rapidly to emerge as Solar Energy rich State. The world’s largest Rewa Ultra Mega Solar project has become functional. It has been included as a case study by America's top Harvard University. Along with this, the world’s largest floating solar project of 600 MW capacity is also being developed on the Narmada River in Omkareshwar. Many small and major solar energy projects are under construction in different regions of the state.

CM Dr. Yadav said that recently in the National Summit on Renewable Energy Investment held in Gandhi Nagar, Gujarat, many industrialists have expressed their willingness to set up solar plants in MP. In the capital Bhopal, a campaign will be launched to encourage installation of solar panels on government buildings and roofs of houses. With these efforts, Madhya Pradesh is fast moving towards becoming a solar energy rich state.

Harvard University refers to Rewa project as perfect example

The world’s largest Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Power Park and Plant located in Madhya Pradesh is being taught as an ideal example of excellent management, operation, and solar energy production in the world’s renowned Harvard University. Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Power Plant is not only the world’s largest plant but is also the plant producing commercial energy at the lowest rate in the world. From here, electricity will be available at Rs 3.30 per unit for the next 25 years.

Madhya Pradesh has abundant solar energy. It has more than 300 sunshine days. It is the country’s first solar project being funded through the World Bank’s Clean Technology Fund. Today, half of the world’s 10 largest solar projects are in India. Rewa Solar Power Plant is one among them.
