Two Solar Projects for Farmers Launched in Jalna

Two new solar power projects have been established in Jalna district, Maharashtra, under the Mukhyamantri Saur Krushi Vahini Yojana. The projects, located in Hiwardi and Keligavan villages, aim to provide consistent daytime electricity to farmers, an official announced on Tuesday.

The 6 MW solar power plant in Hiwardi, situated within a 5 km radius of agriculture-centric substations, is already operational and supplying electricity to 30 villages, benefiting 2,570 agricultural connections. Meanwhile, the 5 MW solar project in Keligavan will begin operations soon, according to district collector Shrikrishna Panchal.

Superintending Engineer of MSEDCL in Jalna, Sanjay Sarag, noted that these projects address farmers’ demands for uninterrupted daytime electricity, as current agricultural power supply is rotational between day and night. The new solar projects are expected to significantly reduce inconvenience for the farming community.
