Haryana government on Saturday said it has identified about 2,000 acres of panchayat land in the state having potential of installation of solar power plants of 200 Mw capacity.
A feasibility study is also being carried out for the installation of solar power plants on canal tops and canal banks. While stating this here on Saturday, a spokesman of the Haryana Renewable Energy Department (HAREDA) said that in order to generate solar power, 50 Mw solar power projects would be installed in 2015-16.
Apart from this, the department would also install 5 Mw solar power plants which were sanctioned by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in 2014-15. He said HAREDA would promote setting up of institutional biogas plants in the 'goshalas' (cow sheds) and dairies where sufficient cow dung is available. The state government is providing subsidy at the rate of 40 per cent of the plant cost fixed by the KVIC to the charitable institutions only but during the year 2015-16, state financial assistance would also be provided to the poultry forms and commercial or individual dairies.
