Assam Chief Minister inaugurated the Janata Bhawan solar project, a 2.5-MW power generation capacity grid connected to a rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV system, at the Assam Secretariat complex.
This project would yield an average of 3 lakh units of electricity monthly, and
The investment amount of Rs. 12.56 crore is projected to be recovered within four years, with monthly savings standing at approximately Rs. 30 lakh
Assam Secretariat Complex became the first-ever civil secretariat in the country that relies entirely on solar-generated electricity for daily consumption.
With a lifespan of 25 years, the solar plant will cut down on 3,060 metric tonnes of carbon emissions annually and 76,500 metric tonnes of carbon emissions during its lifetime.
Transition to green energy will help the government utilise its resources for the welfare of the socially and economically disadvantaged sections of society
