A 10 MW Biomass based Power Project has been launched at Mansa District in Punjab by the Bathinda MP and the Non Conventional Energy Minister of Punjab to promote harnessing electricity from clean energy sources.
According to sources, the proposed project will be set up by Viaton Energy Private Ltd and the estimated investment outlay will be around Rs. 80 Crores.
The location of the Project is Khokar Khurd village in Mansa.
According to the government, the Biomass based Power Project will provide additional income of around Rs. 5,000 to the farmers from their agriculture residue.
It seems that the government is also planning for five more such biomass based power plants in the vicinity.
The government will soon harness biomass potential of the state by inviting bids for setting up of 300 MW capacity plants shortly. Twenty nine sites have been identified for the setting up of 300 MW biomass power plants in next three years."
