Tribal areas of the state are ready to pioneer in the field of solar energy and contribute to achieving the goal of a green energy state. Plans are underway to set up two solar power projects of 400 KW each in the Pangi subdivision of Chamba district for which land has been transferred to Himurja, the state-run nodal agency for renewable energy.
Himurja has selected one hectare of land for each solar power project at Hillaur and Dharwas of Pangi valley and the agency has initiated further action to complete the projects, which will cost approximately ₹10 crore. Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has instructed Himurja to complete the construction work of both solar power projects at the earliest.
