“We will be generating 3 MW solar power at a plant which will be situated at Himayatnagar in Nanded, Maharashtra and this will be wheeled to Mumbai to cater exclusively for this housing society,” an official said, as reported by the Times of India.
The first-of-its-kind project will help consumers in savings of 40 per cent in electricity bills (cheaper than the grid) for 65 per cent of solar power supplied to meet the needs of the housing society. The remaining (35per cent) will be normal supply for the consumer.
Additionally, the plant is expected to generate about 7.5 MU (million units) of energy and offset 6.15 metric tonnes of CO2 (Carbon dioxide) in the first year of commissioning itself.
TPREL will be working on the construction, operation, and maintenance of this captive solar power plant.
