The Odisha Government has declared the newly floated Green Energy Development Corporation (GEDCOL) as the nodal agency for on-grid solar energy projects in the State. Solar power generation and its connectivity to the grid will be easier for Energy department to handle which is why GEDCOL has been assigned as the nodal agency whereas off-grid generation such as solar cooking, pumping, refrigeration, heating and industrial process will be Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency (OREDA)’s responsibility. GEDCOL’s mandate will be to plan, organise and implement projects and sell power anywhere in the country with special emphasis on on-grid generation.
