Gujarat to get five solar parks

The Clinton Foundation, via its Clinton Climate Initiative, is planning to set up five solar parks in Gujarat with a total capacity of 3GW. The project is expected to reduce nearly 5.2m tonnes of CO2 emission per year. The state government of Gujarat has reportedly identified four sites along its border with Pakistan for the proposed solar projects. The government is on a special drive to push renewable energy agenda and signed agreements worth USD 21bn at its Vibrant Global Investors Summit in January this year.
