Renewable energy potential in Odisha has been assessed at 11,820 MW, with solar energy having the highest potential at 10,000 MW among all green energy sources. According to information provided by minister for science & technology Ramesh Chandra Majhi in the state assembly, though, estimates say, renewable energy sources can be tapped to produce a total of 53,820 MW, the generation of 11,820 MW out of this is feasible. The solar photo-voltaic source has the maximum potential at 8,000 MW followed by solar thermal and wind power at 2,000 MW and 910 MW respectively. Similarly it is estimated that bio-mass paddy husk and bio-mass paddy straw can be used to produce 250 MW each.
