MP Set To Generate 500 GW of Non-Fossil Energy By 2030, Says CM Mohan Yadav

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has said Madhya Pradesh started working on generating 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy by 2030.

He made the statement at the seventh International Renewable Energy Conference and Exhibition-2026 in New Delhi on Thursday.

The state strides in renewable energy, energy storage, and green industrial development and has emerged as one of the country's leading destinations for renewable energy, he said.

Through a comprehensive presentation at the conference, the state showcased its achievements and the steps it would take in the renewable energy sector.

Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister for Heavy Industries H D Kumaraswamy along with policymakers, industry leaders and energy experts from India and abroad participated in the conference.

Yadav said the state's renewable energy capacity increased nearly 25-fold over the past 12 years, rising from 438 MW to more than 11,000 MW.

He further said the 750-MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Project set a national benchmark by achieving a solar tariff lower than coal-based power for the first time in India.

According to him, the 1,500-MW Agar-Shajapur-Neemuch solar project has achieved a record-low solar tariff of Rs 2.14 per unit and it supplies green energy to the Indian Railways across eight states.

The 440-MW Solar and 880-MWh battery energy storage project at Morena remains the state's first project of its kind to secure power purchase agreements through competitive bidding, he said.

Work continues on four-hour, six-hour and 24-hour solar-plus-energy storage projects to ensure a reliable round-the-clock supply of renewable energy, he said.
