The Haryana government on Friday said the country’s first green energy plant that generates electricity from stubble has been set up at Khursaidnagar village in Rewari district and the plant has become operational.
“The plant has been set up by the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HREDA) along with a private sector company. Power generated from the stubble through this plant is being provided to Bisoha 33KV sub-station and regular supply of electricity from the sub-station to Bisoha village has started,” the government spokesperson said.
Rewari has been playing a noteworthy role in implementing the suggestions given by Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar regarding stubble management. The green energy plant has generated 48,000 units of power from 600 quintal stubble in 24 hours without pollution.
Along with generation of electricity, around 150 people are also getting direct employment in this plant of the area, the spokesperson said.
