A contract was signed today in the presence of Medical Education Minister Vijaylaxmi Sadho and New and Renewable Energy Minister Harsh Yadav for the establishment of solar plants in 8 Medical Colleges including Chhindwara, Indore, Bhopal, Vidisha, Shivpuri, Ratlam, Shahdol and Jabalpur in the state.
The Department of New and Renewable Energy has initiated the process of establishing a Rooftop Solar Plant to popularize the project through the RESCO system. In this system, solar plant is established in buildings without capital-based investment to provide cheap power.
Sadho said that in view of the lack of availability of water in the rivers and the high rates of thermal power, the usefulness of solar energy has increased.
