The central government has announced a new solar power project in Belagavi district, aimed at modernizing energy use and accelerating sustainability. By integrating solar power into 45 power substations, India aims to further its global commitment to renewable energy and sustainability.
Belagavi District Empowers Energy Grid with Solar Integration
The increasing electricity demand in Belagavi district has driven the Indian government to leverage the benefits of clean and eco-friendly solar power generation, aligning with its broader social and environmental goals.
Under the Solar Power Revolution of PM Kusuma Yojana, solar power will be generated on a large scale, reducing reliance on non-renewable fuels. By installing solar power units at 45 power substations across Belagavi district, India aims to enhance energy security and sustainability.

Forty-five substations have been identified for the installation of solar power units, with plans to expand to more substations in the future. This will significantly increase solar power generation in Belagavi district, Karnataka, and enhance grid reliability.
Belagavi District's Solar Expansion: A Catalyst for Change
The expansion of solar power in Belagavi district is a significant step towards India's goal of achieving a clean, green energy future. This project aligns with the Prime Minister's Solar Scheme (PM Kusuma Yojana), which aims to generate 153.85 MW of solar power.
Strategically located across Khanapur, Savadatti, Bailhongal, and other taluks, Belagavi district is rapidly emerging as a solar energy hub to meet the region's growing energy demands.
Praveen Kumar Chikkade, the Superintendent Engineer at Hescom, emphasized the importance of acquiring land through government notification. He expressed gratitude for the cooperation received from various agencies, authorities, and departments in facilitating the project.
Chikade further explained that land acquisition is currently underway. As initiatives like the Kusuma Yojana progress and collaborations with organizations like the Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Corporation (KREDL) deepen, Belagavi district is poised to lead the way towards a cleaner, more stable energy future.
As India's solar power capacity continues to grow rapidly, small-scale initiatives like Parnami's project in Belagavi district exemplify the country's commitment to becoming a global leader in renewable energy, both in terms of targets and innovative deployment strategies.
By transitioning to solar power, Belagavi is not only enhancing energy self-reliance but also securing a brighter future for generations to come. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to sustainable energy and environmental stewardship.
The solar power project in Belagavi is not only a significant step towards India's climate change mitigation goals but also a global contribution to a sustainable future. Each solar panel installed brings the world closer to a cleaner, greener energy landscape.
