Two solar power projects of 400 KW each will be set up in Pangi subdivision of Chamba district. The land for the power projects has been transferred to Himurja, state-run nodal agency for renewable energy.
Himurja has selected one hectare for each project at Hillaur and Dharwas in the Pangi valley. The projects will cost around Rs 10 crore.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today said, “The government has made a provision in the Budget to set up a solar power-based ‘Battery Energy Storage System Project’ in Pangi to strengthen its power supply system. This project will provide uninterrupted power supply to the people of the area even during outages and breakdown caused by bad weather and heavy snowfall.”
