A 20-megawatt solar power plant is set to be built at Tizit in Nagaland's Mon district, marking a significant addition to the state's renewable energy capacity.
The state government has approved the construction of a 20‑megawatt solar power plant at Tizit, a town in the Mon district of Nagaland. The project is part of ongoing efforts to expand renewable energy generation in the northeastern region.
Once operational, the plant will feed clean electricity into the local grid, helping to reduce dependence on diesel generators and lower carbon emissions. It also aligns with national targets for increasing the share of renewable sources in India's overall energy mix.
Local officials anticipate that the solar facility will create temporary construction jobs and, later, permanent positions for operation and maintenance, contributing to the economic development of the Mon district.
