The agreement was signed at "CII Partnership Summit 2018" held in Vishakhapatnam. As a leading state in RE installations ranking second in India, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has set a target to achieve 18 GW renewable energy capacities by the year 2021-22. The investment by Avaada Power is expected to generate more than 1,200 employment opportunities. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a step in the direction of achieving the government's RE objective, approximately 8,32,200 tonnes of CO2 emissions will be mitigated annually by this project in the state.
