Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren rolled out the Jharkhand state solar policy 2022 on Tuesday that aimed at generating 4,000 MW of solar energy by 2026-27.
“The solar energy generated in the state will pave the way for transition towards clean energy as that will prove to be a substitute, to a large extent, for thermal and hydro power dependence on which is increasing everyday, besides being much cheaper,” the CM said after unveiling the policy in a Ranchi hotel.
He also virtually launched a solar city project in Giridih district and initiated setting up of two solar plants, each of 600 MW capacity, at Deoghar and Dhanbad airports.
