Tripura Targets Addition Of 11 Megawatt Solar Capacity In 2026-27

26 Jun 2026 CW Team

The Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA) has framed the target amid a wider state government push to promote clean energy across public institutions. The state currently generates around 35 MW of solar power, and the TREDA director general in charge Debabrata Sukladas indicated that work towards achieving the new target was progressing steadily, with plans to install systems in all 58 Block Development Offices and 275 village committee offices.

Solar power systems are also planned for installation in a range of government offices and the tendering process for the project was reported to be in its final stage and expected to be floated soon. All district magistrate offices in the state have already been equipped with solar panels, the agency added. Installation schedules will be phased to cover remaining sites over coming months.

TREDA records show the state has a total of 1,919 government buildings, of which 90 currently have solar power systems and the remainder will be covered under future renewable energy initiatives. Officials said the programme aims to cut dependence on gas-based power plants and to diversify the state energy mix. The planned additions would increase on-grid distributed solar capacity and support operational resilience.

Authorities emphasise that decentralised solar installations offer particular advantages in sparsely populated hilly terrain where extending grid infrastructure is costly and technically difficult, and that localised generation can improve reliability and lower transmission losses. The state push reflects broader policy priorities to accelerate clean energy uptake within public sector assets and to extend modern electricity access to underserved communities.

Tripura has set a target to add 11 megawatt (MW) of solar power generation capacity in the 2026-27 financial year as part of a drive to expand renewable energy infrastructure and reduce reliance on conventional electricity. The initiative is intended to improve access in remote and hilly areas that face challenges in extending traditional grid connections.
