"We will consider and provide whatever concession is possible for any investment in the field of clean energy. We want to go ahead with alternative source of energy," Gogoi said at an Assocham energy summit here.
Assam along with rest of the country is suffering from global warming and the society should move towards the direction of renewable energy, he said.
"Promoting clean and green energy is my mission. We will positively consider all the proposals coming to invest in clean energy technology in Assam," Gogoi said.
He, however, did not elaborate whether the state government will bring out a scheme to provide concessions for green energy generation or it will consider the same on project basis.
