In what is being seen as a big push to green energy in Uttar Pradesh, more than 5,900 acres of land has been allotted to 19 renewable energy projects worth ₹18,831 crore ahead of their groundbreaking ceremony, even as availability of land for new development projects remains a daunting challenge in the state, officials in the know of things said.
Among the projects getting land are four big solar parks which together will generate 3200 MW green power, five solar plants, and 10 compressed biogas (CBG) plants. All these plants are proposed to be set up both by private developers and public companies.
