Madhya Pradesh positioning itself as leading renewable energy hub
Madhya Pradesh is a state in India that wants to become a big leader in clean energy.
Clean energy, like solar and wind power, comes from the sun and the wind.
But the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow.
So the state is working on ways to store energy to use it all day and night.
The leader of the state, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, talked about this plan at a big energy meeting in New Delhi.
He said the state is making the cheapest electricity in the whole country.
The electricity is so strong that it even helps run the Delhi Metro trains.
The state has also made special rules to encourage companies to build solar, wind, and storage projects.
These projects can create new jobs and help India use cleaner energy.
Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said Madhya Pradesh is positioning itself as a leading renewable energy hub.
He spoke on the sidelines of the 7th International Renewable Energy Conference and Expo 2026 in New Delhi alongside Union Minister Pralhad Joshi.
The state is working toward ensuring 24-hour renewable energy supply, despite solar and wind being available only for limited hours.
Madhya Pradesh has introduced dedicated policies for renewable energy, pumped hydro energy storage, and biomass to attract investment.
The state produces the country's cheapest electricity, supplies power to other regions, and its electricity operates the Delhi Metro.
