Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday urged industrialists to invest in the renewable energy sector in the northeastern state.
The government has already set a target of generating 500 MW power through renewable energy sources by 2030 to meet the state바카라™s future demand, he said, during a 바카라˜workshop on energy transition in Tripura바카라™.
바카라œThe Tripura Power Generation Ltd (TPGL) has already decided to turn two existing gas-based power projects into combined cycle power plants. Besides, it is also planning to generate 30 MW of power from a small hydroelectric project," he said.Â
Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA), a state government-own entity, has inked a memorandum of understanding with NTPC for installing a 130-MW renewable energy plant in Dumbur in Gomati district, he said.
In today바카라™s world, green power has become most important for meeting energy needs, he said.
바카라œI appealed to all the financial institutions and private players to invest in Tripura, taking advantage of a favourable industrial policy. The government has initiated a drive to promote non-fossil energy. It will help explore opportunities for sustainable development of the northeastern state," the chief minister said.
Tripura바카라™s power minister Ratan Lal Nath also appealed to the investors to explore possibilities in the renewable energy sector.
