Pramod Sawant, the chief minister of Goa, announced on Friday that the state has established a goal to use only renewable energy by 2050 in all sectors. By 2050, the Goa government wants all sectors of the state to be powered entirely by renewable energy. Some 15,000 new jobs are anticipated to be created as a result of this ambitious strategy, 500 of which will be solely dedicated to the solar and wind energy producing industry.
The government is committed to generating 150 MW of green energy in the next two years and will be setting up 100 MW solar power plants throughout Goa.
The state government has also agreed to establish India’s first convergence project to produce green energy for rural and agricultural use, and it will shortly launch the project to provide inexpensive clean energy.
The conference’s second iteration aims to encourage the use of clean and green energy while giving the sector a chance to have meaningful debates about cutting-edge technologies, engineering design techniques, and best practices that solve practical issues with the use of renewable energy.
