28 Aug 2023 CW Team

Nagaland government executed a power purchase agreement with a Dimapur-based company to establish a bamboo-fired power plant for electricity generation. The state government formalised the deal with Hutah Industries, an independent power producer situated in Dimapur. According to an official statement, this agreement entails the purchase of electricity from Hutah Industries' 10-megawatt biomass plant located at AK Industrial Village in Ganeshnagar.

The signing ceremony of this agreement was attended by Nagaland's Minister for Power and Parliamentary Affairs, KG Kenye. During his address at the event, Minister Kenye commended Hutah Industries for undertaking such innovative projects and underscored the necessity of bolstering power generation within the state to address rising demand and support industrial growth.

Minister Kenye also emphasised the importance of self-sufficient power generation to diminish dependency on external sources. He suggested exploring a potential collaboration with the Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency (NBDA) since the project centres on a bamboo-fired plant. He believed that such endeavours would not only contribute to local employment but also align with sustainable resource management.

Aditya Pandit, the CEO and CFO of Hutah Industries, revealed that the bamboo-fired plant's raw materials would be cultivated within the confines of the project area. Pandit outlined that the project aims to be completed within a span of 24 months, with the company having secured a 25-year lease on 1,500 acres of land for this purpose.

Moa Aier, the Engineer-in-Chief of the Power Department, mentioned in a concise speech that previous power purchase agreements had been established, but subsequent progress by independent power producers had been limited. Aier expressed optimism that the power purchase agreement with Hutah Industries would set a new precedent, potentially heralding a fresh start and more promising outcomes.
