Dehradun: The Energy Conclave, which took place on Tuesday at the height of the Global Investors Summit, saw the orchestration of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) valued at a staggering Rs 40,000 crore। 33 companies came to the conclave and promised to invest in state-wide solar, hydel, and gas-based projects। Throughout this mess of agreements, projects worth Rs. 21,522 crore have already been completed after the initial phase, while newly inked MoUs worth Rs. 18,901 crore hold promise for the future।
The venerable Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami emphasized the state’s enormous potential for energy sector investments। During the Energy Conclave, which was part of the Destination Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit, which was held at the Secretariat, he clearly stated his belief। In August, Chief Minister Dhami was present when MoUs pledged Rs. 40,423 crore। Significantly, Rs. 21,522 crore has been secured for the implementation of projects, while a further sum of Rs. 18,901 crore is expected to inspire further development।
Chief Minister Dhami emphasized the state’s enormous potential। The government is proactive in its efforts to increase investment। Based on industry stakeholders’ feedback, 27 new policies and existing policies have been refined to improve efficiency। Attending companies offered a variety of ideas, including solar power initiatives, hydro projects, pump storage plants, CNG facilities, and solar parks।
The joint venture between THDC-UJVNL became famous because it got the majority of MoUs valued at Rs. 16,370 crore। The Investors Summit, which will be held on December 8 and 9, is expected to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is an emblematic event of the state’s transformative journey and will reflect the success of Vibrant Gujarat।
Additional Chief Secretary Radha Raturi stressed how important it is for the three companies working in the state’s energy sector to work together। This cooperative approach strengthens the sector and creates opportunities for local employment। Dr. R. Meenakshi Sundaram, Secretary Power, explained the ongoing efforts to make Uttarakhand a self-sufficient energy state। Hydropower and new solar energy policies have been adopted to encourage investments and create jobs।
