Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently addressed a gathering, virtually laying the foundation stone of 1440 megawatt Pumped Hydro Storage Energy Storage Project in Neemuch district. This project, to be established by Greenko Group with an investment of Rs 10 thousand crore, will become operational by June 2025 and will have a capacity of up to 1920 megawatt.

The state government is determined to make Madhya Pradesh a leader in innovation in the renewable energy sector and welcomes investors to join in with renewable energy production in the state.
