Uttarakhand to Benefit from Clean Energy Expansion
The Chief Minister highlighted the importance of the initiative for mountainous states like Uttarakhand, which have considerable potential in hydropower and solar energy.
He said improved energy storage facilities could create new opportunities for managing renewable energy more efficiently in the state. Better storage infrastructure would also help in utilising clean electricity and addressing future power requirements.
With its natural resources and renewable energy potential, Uttarakhand could benefit from initiatives that strengthen energy management and improve the reliability of electricity supply.
Push for Energy Self-Reliance and Sustainable Development
CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said the ₹14,500 crore energy storage scheme would support India’s broader objective of becoming self-reliant in the energy sector. He also linked the initiative with the vision of a developed India and an energy-rich Uttarakhand.
The expansion of storage capacity is expected to support the country’s transition towards cleaner sources of electricity. It can also help create a stronger foundation for meeting growing energy demand in the coming years.
The Chief Minister expressed confidence that the initiative would open new possibilities for renewable energy development and strengthen Uttarakhand’s contribution to India’s clean energy goals.
He said the ₹14,500 crore energy storage scheme represents an important opportunity to improve the use of available renewable resources while supporting long-term energy security.
