Official sources said that on May 2, 2020, 1893.96 lakh units of power were supplied to the state.
In this supply, electricity received from unconventional power sources played an important role.
Of this, 372.14 lakh units of power were supplied through solar and wind power while 159.68 lakh units of power was supplied by hydel power stations.
Thus, the quantum of electricity received from unconventional power sources was 28.08 per cent, which is commendable.
As per the demand of the time, the contribution of the power received through unconventional sources in the state’s power supply is quite wholesome, as it doesn’t damage the environment and actually helps in keeping it pollution-free.
State government is also setting up 4000 MW solar power parks in Shajapur, Agar Malwa and Rajgarh districts; it would help the state make greater strides on green energy front.
