NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) has forged a partnership with the Rajasthan government by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop an impressive 25 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy projects. This agreement was finalized during the Rising Rajasthan Investor Meet in New Delhi, with NGEL’s Director of Projects, KS Sundaram, and Alok, the Additional Chief Secretary (Energy) of Rajasthan, representing their respective entities.
Rajasthan is currently positioned as India’s second-largest renewable energy producer, aspiring to reach a total capacity of 57.71 GW by the year 2030. The state currently has 24 GW of solar power and 5 GW of wind energy installed. Its unique geography, characterized by vast desert landscapes and an abundance of sunny days—approximately 320 each year—makes it particularly suitable for solar energy development.
This collaboration represents a crucial step forward in Rajasthan’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy capacity, allowing the state to achieve its ambitious energy objectives. Going ahead, both NGEL and the Rajasthan government will focus on the efficient execution of these projects, further bolstering India’s renewable energy sector.
