The 357 MW solar project will generate clean, renewable energy, reducing Assam’s dependence on fossil fuels. By producing solar power locally, it will lower carbon emissions and help combat climate change. Additionally, the decentralized nature of these solar plants ensures a stable power supply for agricultural and rural areas, improving energy access and reliability.
Component-A focuses on setting up decentralized, grid-connected solar power plants up to 2 MW capacity each, primarily on barren or unused farmland. These plants help generate clean electricity locally and feed it into the grid.

The PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme is a government initiative to promote solar energy in rural areas. Under Component-A, farmers in Assam can lease their land to set up small solar power plants (up to 2 MW) near 33/11 kV substations. This allows farmers to earn extra income from their land while contributing to clean energy production. The 357 MW project by Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) aims to make this opportunity accessible to farmers across the state.
