Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation of the world’s largest hybrid renewable energy park in the bordering Kutch district on Tuesday.
The hybrid park, to be developed near Vighakot village, is spread across 72600 hectares where wind as well as solar energy would be produced simultaneously. The 30-GW capacity park is located just six km away from the international border.
Sources in the state energy department said the park was bifurcated in two zones. First zone would be spread across 49,600 hectares where energy would be generated from hybrid sources — solar as well as wind. The second zone to be developed on 23000 hectares will be dedicated to wind energy generation solely.
Already, land has been allotted to major players in the green energy sectors, including that of Adani Group (19000 hectares), Suzlon (9500 hectares),
