Panaji : From conventional energy sources like fossil fuels and coal, now Goa is stepping towards the use of nonconventional sources of energy which is solar power energy, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Thursday.
Speaking at a programme, he said most of the people from Goa don’t know about the power shutdowns which take place in other states.
‘Being the power generating states, they always do a 12 hour shut down in their states, but in Goa, even after being a power dependent State, we don’t have shut downs,’ he pointed. The Government of Goa has entered into a MoU with the Government of Zambia for exploring the conventional heater technology, he said.
He highlighted the concentric heating plant which was recently installed at Goa University. The chief minister appreciated government officers for implementing various new technologies in different sectors in Goa.
‘If we all work together with full dedication then we will be able to make Goa as number one State technology wise as well as in other sectors too,’ he added.
