Madhya Pradesh: A Renewable Energy Leader
Madhya Pradesh has made remarkable strides in renewable energy, increasing its capacity by more than 14 times in the last 12 years to reach nearly 7,000 MW, which now constitutes 21% of the state라이브 바카라 total energy capacity.
The state has been at the forefront of solar innovations, starting with the Rewa Solar Project, which delivered electricity at rates cheaper than coal-based power. This project also powers the Delhi Metro, showcasing its national significance. Building on this success, the Agar-Shajapur-Neemuch projects now supply electricity to Indian Railways and seven other states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh.
In October 2024, Madhya Pradesh commissioned the 278 MW Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project, the world라이브 바카라 largest floating solar installation, further cementing its position as a leader in renewable energy.
