Nagaland Govt Signs Power Purchase Agreement for 20 MW Solar Project

Nagaland government has entered a power purchase agreement (PPA) with a private company for setting up of the first greenfield solar power project in Dimapur district of the state. 

 

The state government will provide the land on lease while Halo Energie will take up the 20 MW power project estimated to cost around Rs 120 crore.

 

The land lease of 100 acre of land for 25 years has been signed between the Department of Industries and Commerce and the project period will also be for 25 years.

 

The project envisages to generate solar power close to 28 MU per year. This green power will also be a stepping stone for the state government in fulfilling the Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) compliance.

 

Initial land survey and design process has commenced. The execution of the project is scheduled to commence in mid-2022, with completion scheduled in eight months. The project will also create local employment for both skilled and unskilled workers.
