To cut reliance on conventional energy, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure farmers have uninterrupted daytime power for irrigation, the Maharashtra government is rolling out several initiatives. Under the Chief Minister’s Solar Energy Project 2.0, MAHAGENCO will soon commission solar power projects with a combined capacity of 1,071 MW. These projects are expected to benefit more than three lakh farmers across the state, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced.
