The Uttar Pradesh government is gearing up to set up solar plants on a 1700-hectare land along the Bundelkhand Expressway, aiming to develop it as the state’s first solar expressway to generate 550 MW of solar power.
With this solar plant, the state government aims to supply electricity to one lakh houses along the expressway. The estimated lifespan of the project is 25 years.
The Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), a state government body, will execute the project.
