Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma laid the foundation stone of a 25MW solar power project at Namrup in Dibrugarh district. The joint project by Assam Power Generation Corporation Limited and Oil India Limited is expected to raise green power generation. It will be built at a cost of Rs 115 crore on a 107-acre plot.
New research released by the International Forum for Environment, Sustainability and Technology (iFOREST) sheds light on Assam's renewable energy (RE) generation potential and the imperative for policy enhancement.
The reassessed RE potential is adequate to support a low-carbon pathway to meet the state s growing electricity demand. While an increased commitment to RE projects is already visible in the state, there are limitations to growth that need to be addressed through policy tightening and institutional capacity building.
