Coal India Limited (CIL) has planned to generate 1,000 MW of solar power, starting with Madhya Pradesh. The project will be eventually spread to other states like Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa and Chhattisgarh, where CIL has its subsidiaries.
The Solar Energy Corporation of India is the consultant for the project. Wherever there is land available in mining areas, it will be used to fix photovoltaic panels for generating electricity.
Most of the power generated in this way can be used for captive purposes within CIL itself. The project is expected to begin in 3 to 4 months.
