450 kW Solar Plant Installed at Assam Tea Garden to Advance Clean Energy

A solar power installation with a capacity of 450 kilowatts peak (kWp) has been commissioned at a tea garden in Assam. The project is part of the state's broader push to integrate renewable energy into traditional agricultural operations. By generating electricity on‑site, the tea garden aims to reduce its reliance on diesel generators and lower its carbon footprint. The solar plant is expected to supply a significant portion of the garden's power needs, enhancing energy security for tea processing and other activities. State authorities have highlighted the initiative as a model for other plantations seeking sustainable energy solutions.
