Uttar Pradesh has received investment commitments of about Rs 2 lakh crore in the solar energy and related sectors, state energy minister A K Sharma said. UP has launched ‘Uttar Pradesh Solar Energy Policy 2022’ which aims to set up 22 gigawatt (GW) of green energy projects by 2027 in the state, said Sharma in the national capital.
The minister was part of a delegation which visited New Delhi last week for a roadshow in the run-up to the Global Investors Summit in Lucknow from February 10-12.
“The policy is just two months old and we have already received investment commitments worth Rs 2 lakh crore in the solar and related sectors,” the minister said in reply to a question on investment targets in the RE sector.
