<h1>State power company signs MoU to purchase 252 MW electricity from northeastern hydropower project by 2031-32</h1> A state power management company signed an MoU with a national hydropower corporation to purchase 252 MW electricity from a multipurpose hydropower project in a northeastern state. The power purchase agreement was executed in the presence of the state's chief minister, who emphasized the need for renewable energy sources alongside traditional ones to meet growing demand. The state, being agriculture-based, faces increasing electricity consumption in domestic, industrial, and agricultural sectors, with demand projected to reach 20,000 MW by year-end. The hydroelectric project on a major river is expected to be commissioned by 2031-32 and will help meet peak demand requirements.
