NEW DELHI, Sept 28:
Roof top of government building in NDMC area will be utilised to generate up to 12 MW of solar power in the next three years, area MP Meenakshi Lekhi said.
“Total target is to generate 12 MW of power (through roof top solar panels). It may take three years. We will be able finish 1 MW power generation by October-November. This will be transferred to main grid,” Lekhi told.
She said that the requirement of her constituency is much more than the power that will be generated but the quantum will contribute to requirement and subsidise the aggregate cost.
“All the government buildings, NDMC (New Delhi Municipal Council) and other will have solar panels on their roof top. Its under new model where aggregator is going to bear cost of installing solar panels. There will be smartgrids through which solar power generated will go in to main grid,” Lekhi said.
The New Delhi MP said that she is also working on ‘Waste to Energy’ to utilise it for biogas power, compost and even in talks with a Indian company to make tiles out of it.
“For treatment of waste to generate biogas, we are in talks with the Netherlands-based company that can work on biogas but they need good qunatity of waste. One Indian company has said that they can make tiles out of it but someone needs to purchase it. We are working on all these aspects,” Lekhi said. (PTI)
