Dia Mirza is known to express her opinion on environmental issues like climate change, pollution levels, harmful effects of plastic. She was also one of the guests at the UN Climate Summit during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to USA last year.
The solar power project in Rewa was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday through video-conferencing. The 750 MW project features three solar generating units of 250 MW each, situated on a 500-hectare plot of land inside the 1500-hectare solar park.
The Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL) has developed the project in collaboration with UrjaVikas Nigam Limited (MPUVN), and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The project plays a major role in India’s target of 175 GW installed renewable energy capacity by 2022. Home Minister Amit Shah, MP CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan were among the leaders who praised the Prime Minister for ‘dedicating’ the project to the nation.
I thank PM @NarendraModi for dedicating Asia's largest '750 MW Rewa Solar Project' to the nation. This key futuristic project reinforces Modi govt's vision of #AatmaNirbharBharat & its commitment towards achieving the target of 175 GW installed renewable energy capacity by 2022. pic.twitter.com/WVGWhWH0fl
