"To pave the way for a Viksit Gujarat through green growth – Gujarat Government Statement"

Gandhinagar, June 28

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Saturday visited the site of the world's largest upcoming Hybrid Renewable Energy (RE) Park near Khavda and held a review meeting with representatives from various companies.

On this occasion, he inspected the progress of solar and wind energy generation from the Central Control Room, reviewed the ongoing work with officials, and offered guidance to further advance the vision of green energy, said release.

To pave the way for a Viksit Gujarat through green growth, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Renewable Energy (RE) Park near Khavda in December 2020.

Spread across approximately 800 square kilometres of area, this under-construction park aims to generate 37 gigawatts of 100 per cent eco-friendly electricity by the year 2028.

By 2028, the Khavda Renewable Energy Park is expected to supply electricity to approximately 1.85 crore households across the country.

On this occasion, Rajendra Mistry, Chief Project Officer of Gujarat Power Corporation Limited, presented an overview of the work completed so far and the ongoing progress at the park.

Notably, the Renewable Energy (RE) Park hosts power generation projects from both public and private sector companies, including National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC REL), Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited (GIPCL), Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL), Adani Green Energy Limited, and Sarjan Realities Private Limited.

During the visit, several dignitaries and officials were present, including Kutch Collector Anand Patel, Devjibhai Varchand, Ajay Sehgal from National Thermal Power Corporation Limited, Tirth Nath Singh, Project Head of the Adani Group, and Anil Musar, representative of Sarjan Realities Private Limited.

While the project sounds impressive, I hope they've considered the environmental impact on the Rann of Kutch ecosystem. Renewable energy is important, but not at the cost of destroying natural habitats. Proper EIA studies must be conducted.

As someone working in energy sector, I must say this is world-class thinking. The hybrid model combining solar and wind is brilliant - when sun isn't shining, wind can compensate. Smart engineering solution for consistent power generation.

Hope the electricity generated will be affordable for common people. Sometimes these big projects benefit industries more than households. Government should ensure domestic consumers get priority and reasonable tariffs.

Good to see public-private partnership in action. But I'm concerned about land acquisition issues - 800 sq km is huge area. Were local communities properly consulted and compensated? Development shouldn't come at cost of people's livelihoods.
