12 Jan 2024 CW Team

Maharashtra's solar power landscape is set to expand as MSEB Solar Agro Power (MSAPL) undertakes the development of 366 MW through a feeder-level solarization program. This initiative is poised to play a pivotal role in harnessing solar energy for agricultural purposes, aligning with the state's commitment to sustainable and renewable power generation.

Under the leadership of MSAPL, the feeder-level solarization program is expected to contribute significantly to the overall solar capacity in Maharashtra. The initiative holds particular importance as it integrates solar power into the agricultural sector, promoting clean energy solutions for the state's vital agricultural activities.

Feeder-level solarization involves the integration of solar power generation into the electricity distribution network at the feeder level. This approach enables the utilization of solar energy for agricultural pump sets, providing a sustainable and reliable power source for farmers.

The development of 366 MW through this program reflects Maharashtra's proactive stance in adopting renewable energy solutions and leveraging solar power to address the energy needs of crucial sectors like agriculture. As the state advances in solar capacity, it moves closer to achieving its renewable energy goals and contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
