The Odisha government signed an agreement with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) for exploring green energy possibilities in the state.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Industrial Promotion and Investment Corporation of Odisha Ltd (IPICOL) Managing Director Bhupendra Singh Poonia and BPCL’s Executive Director Renewable Energy Amit Garg on Monday.
“Odisha has a high potential for production of green energy from ethanol, solar and hydrogen,” Chief Secretary SC Mohapatra said at the programme where the agreement was signed.
The state government would push green energy in a big way and BPCL would be provided all support from grounding to commissioning of projects, he said.
