Odisha’s Agri-PV Policy 2026 | Can Farmers Earn From Crops & Solar Power Together? | OPSC StudyIQ

Odisha is finalising a dedicated Agri-PV Policy 2026 that aims to combine agricultural cultivation with solar power generation on the same land. The proposed policy targets 1 GW of agrivoltaic capacity by 2030, with at least 90% of project sites required to remain under active cultivation. Announced by Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo at the 7th Agrivoltaics World Conference 2026, the initiative follows the principle of “One Field, Two Harvests.” The goal is to help farmers continue growing crops while generating electricity from solar panels installed above their fields. In this video, we explain: What is Agri-PV or agrivoltaics? Why is Odisha developing a dedicated Agri-PV Policy? How can farmers earn from crops and solar electricity together? Why must at least 90% of project sites remain under cultivation? What is the target of 1 GW by 2030? How could the proposed policy support crop insurance and farmer consent? What role will GRIDCO play through proposed 25-year power purchase agreements? Why is this development important for Odisha, renewable energy and agriculture? _______ 🎯 Join OPSC StudyIQ Courses & Take the First Step Towards Your Success _______ 📚 Foundation Batches: 🚨 Paripurna 4.0: OPSC OCS 2026-2027 (Pre + Mains) Foundation Batch 👉 https://www.studyiq.com/course-detail... 🚨 Odisha PSC (Pre + Mains) Live Foundation Aarambh Batch 👉 https://www.studyiq.com/course-detail... 🚨 Arohan : OPSC ASO 2027 Foundation Batch 👉 https://www.studyiq.com/course-detail... 🚨 OJAS OSSC CGL 2027 Foundation Batch 👉 https://www.studyiq.com/course-detail... ________ 🌐 Connect With Us On Social Media Telegram Group 👉https://t.me/STUDYIQOPSC Whatsapp Group 👉 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCw...
