Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Ltd (CSPDCL) has reviewed and agreed in principle to procure 500 MW of power from renewable energy sources as part of the wind-solar hybrid projects. These projects, designed to deliver peak power supply, will be integral in maintaining grid stability and addressing energy needs during periods of high demand.

The procurement is set to contribute significantly to the state’s growing renewable energy portfolio, helping CSPDCL ensure a sustainable, reliable energy supply for consumers in Chhattisgarh.

The petition submitted by CSPDCL includes an affidavit from an executive engineer, confirming the accuracy of the facts presented. It also outlines the ongoing communication between CSPDCL and the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), confirming CSPDCL’s agreement to move forward with the proposed power procurement. SECI, responsible for implementing renewable energy projects, plays a vital role in facilitating this power purchase agreement.

The integration of these hybrid projects into the state’s energy mix will provide a range of benefits. These projects will help reduce the state’s dependence on conventional power sources, while also supporting the national renewable energy targets. The hybrid nature of the projects is specifically designed to provide a reliable power supply during peak demand periods, minimiSing the risk of power shortages and ensuring a consistent energy flow.

CSPDCL’s decision to procure power from these hybrid projects highlights its commitment to expanding renewable energy in its power purchase portfolio. This move is a significant step toward meeting the state’s renewable energy goals and contributing to the clean energy transition. The initiative aligns with the broader strategy of reducing Chhattisgarh’s carbon footprint while ensuring that energy remains affordable and sustainable for its growing population.

By integrating these renewable sources into its energy mix, CSPDCL aims to improve the long-term energy security and sustainability of the region. The 500 MW procurement will help the company achieve a cleaner, more reliable power supply, further bolstering the state’s efforts to adopt renewable energy solutions.
