A 70 MW solar power plant was inaugurated at Khudigaon in Dhubri district, developed at a cost of about ₹350 crore over nearly 1,000 bighas of land. The project marks a significant addition to Assam’s renewable energy infrastructure. The plant uses solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to generate electricity from sunlight. It produces clean energy without emitting greenhouse gases.
The 70 MW Khudigaon Solar Power Plant marks a major step in Assam’s renewable energy expansion. As it generates clean electricity through solar photovoltaic technology, it will significantly reduce carbon emissions.
