Ranchi: The State Department of Agriculture expressed his desire to transfer the energy burden of agricultural activities to renewable resources, especially solar energy, after the expert committee projects the estimated saving of RS 12,465 Crore to the next country, if done.
The state government provides a large number of subsidies to farmers on power bills for their consumption in agricultural activities.
According to the roadmap on the energy transition in the agricultural sector, it is prepared by the Jharkhand renewable energy development agency in consultation with the Center for Environmental and Energy Development (CEED) and the Center for Excellence in Green Energy & Central Technology, Jharkhand Central University, Switch to renewable resources will reduce power costs Substantially and lead to savings for the state, which otherwise gives as a subsidy.
This will also help farmers in increasing their income.
Launching a report here on Friday, Minister of Agriculture Badal Patretekh suggests to change the grid power to be a gradual solar power for its use in the agricultural sector.
“This is an important document when sweeping a strategic path to improve the land and promote active activities through sustainable ways.
The government is committed to raising the financial condition of farmers.
We look forward to the main recommendations of the report and will try to enter it into our program,” he said.
While the road map describes many steps that can initially reduce the cost of power and save subsidies, it suggests the development of cold stores and solar warehouses that can be more proven to be an entrepreneurial site and activities associated with solar roof cables.
Highlighting the main aspects of the research conducted to prepare a road map, Ashwini Ashok Ceed said that agricultural contributions to GDP countries were as low as 13% and this sector only consumed 3% of conventional sources.
“There is a large scope to combine the use of power and add to the part of the country’s GDP.
The government will be able to save around Rs 12,465 Crore while adding solar capacity of 4250MW.
Solaries can play a role in avoiding CO2 emissions more than 36.4 million tons in the next 15 years” Add it.
CEO CEO, Rampati Kumar, said, “The state must start a sustainable sun mission.
The 2.34,000 solarization of the pump and install connected Grid 4,05,447 Mandiri off-grid solar pumps can produce around 700 MW of power.
To add logistical infrastructure in rural areas, Installation of 8343 Cold Storage Micro can make the cumulative storage capacity of 3.64 lakh metrics tons from 2021-22 to 2037-38.
“He added,” the report also stated that the development of 81,000 warehouse facilities in the village could lead to the potential of solar roof 160 MWP on States.” Director JREDa K K VERMA said the solarization was an interesting opportunity that could be realized through separate agricultural solar feeders, solar irrigation pumps, cold storage infrastructure based on solar roofs and various rural business activities that are catalyzed through decentralized renewable energy-based solutions.
“Jreda will lead in facilitating technical knowledge, capacity building and training for farmers and rural entrepreneurs to bring real changes in agricultural practice,” he said.
Solar power can help the state save RS 12k CR in 15 years: experts
