Co-generation power projects of MW capacity based on combustion techniques using Rice Husk or other Agro-residues are established in various industries. These projects are set up in those industries like pulp and paper mills where thermal energy (process steam) and electrical energy are required and they can fulfill thermal and electrical energy needs of such industries. Establishing non-bagasse based co-generation power projects is being promoted in the different paper mills in the state. About 201.10 mega watt capacity has been created till the end of 2013-14, through the establishment of non-bagasse based co-generation power projects. For the year 2014-15, 9-15 MW proposal has been received, which is being processed.
