What happened
Odisha announced a dedicated Agri-PV policy, making it the first state in India to introduce such a framework. The policy aims to install 1 gigawatt of agrivoltaic capacity by 2030. It allows farming to continue while solar panels generate electricity on the same land, provided at least 90 percent of the project land remains under active cultivation.
Why it matters
The policy is designed around the principle of 'One Field, Two Harvests,' which offers new income opportunities for farmers. It facilitates the expansion of renewable energy by integrating solar power generation with agricultural land use.
