About Hybrid Renewable Energy Park
The Hybrid Renewable Energy Park will have two zones-

• A 49,600-hectare hybrid park zone that will accommodate wind and solar power plants of 24,800 MW capacity.
• It will be located 6 km from the border.
• An exclusive wind park zone spread over 23,000 hectares and will come up within 1-6 km of the international border. 
• Putting windmills near the border will act as a boundary.
• Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) will set up wind projects in the entire 23,000 ha at the exclusive wind zone park.
• 50 per cent of the total generation capacity will be developed in the next three years, and the entire project will be finished in next five years.
