The Rs 300-crore solar power project is expected to benefit around 65,000 consumers in Udalguri.
In an attempt to make Assam self-reliant in green energy, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday inaugurated the 25 MW generation capacity solar power project at Lalpul in Udalguri district.
The Rs 300-crore solar power project - established on 'build, own, operate' mode under Assam Solar Energy Policy 2017 - is expected to benefit around 65,000 consumers in Udalguri.
Mr Sarma said he committed to take the development of the state in the next five years to new heights by driving the state power generation towards non-conventional energy sources instead of conventional sources of energy.
He said that in the next five years, 50 per cent of power demand in Assam would be met through solar energy.
