This will consist of solar and wind power projects of a capacity of 1.5 GW each. The state is already one of the top solar states in India with over 1.7 GW of installed solar capacity. The upcoming projects are expected to further strengthen the state’s project development pipeline of approximately 2.4 GW.

The body has also sought permission to float a tender for the procurement of 1.5 GW of solar power from solar project developers also using the reverse bidding process.
