Adoption of green energy will pave way Maharashtra’s farmers to lead second green revolution in future: CM
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis emphasized the role of green energy in driving the state’s second green revolution. The launch of the Solar Agriculture Feeder Project 2.0 aims to provide farmers with free, daytime solar electricity, reducing reliance on conventional power. With 16,000 MW of electricity provided to farmers, the shift to solar feeders is expected to boost renewable energy and agricultural productivity.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said adopting green energy will help farmers in the state drive the second green revolution. Efforts are underway to develop solar-powered villages to ensure farmers have access to electricity during the daytime.
Speaking at the inauguration of projects under the Chief Minister’s Solar Agriculture Feeder Project 2.0, Fadnavis highlighted the importance of sustainable energy. The event, held through video conferencing, marked the launch of solar feeder projects in Umbratha, Washim district, and Narangwadi, Dharashiv district.
Fadnavis said the Solar Agriculture Feeder Scheme aims to provide farmers with free and sustainable electricity during the day, reducing their dependence on conventional power sources.
Maharashtra currently provides 16,000 MW of electricity to farmers. The chief minister said the process of shifting all feeders, which deliver electricity to distribution points, to solar energy started two years ago. This transition is expected to be completed in phases.
The proposed initiative is likely to take the state significantly closer towards boosting renewable energy sources and furthering agricultural productivity
