The state is targeting 14,000 megawatt (MW) solar power generation by 2027.

"Plans are afoot to establish floating solar projects across seven reservoirs in partnership with NTPC, Tehri Hydro Development Corporation (THDC) and Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN)," a senior Uttar Pradesh government official said.

The state has already received new and renewable energy investment proposals of ₹7 trillion, of which ₹57,000 crore worth of projects came under the UP State Bio-Energy Policy 2022. The Yogi Adityanath government is also mulling over large-scale solar energy projects, including solar parks with a combined capacity of 4,800 MW, with the tendering process underway.
