The government’s goal is to generate 1,000 MW from solar. We are getting 50 MW. Space has been allocated for the production of 50 MW. The government has decided to generate 500 MW from solar and also from 500 MW from home. We can generate electricity through Solar in areas where our land is unsuitable. The surplus power can be sold to KSEB using the required electricity. He said the board would buy it at reasonable prices.

110 kV Substation at Kuttikol is inaugurated by the Electricity Minister MM Mani. Kuttikol, Bedaduka, Kallar, Kodom Belur Panchayat people’s dream come true. The project is to provide high voltage electricity to all those who make a major contribution to the agricultural sector.
