An 824.1 KWP ground- mounted solar plant was inaugurated for testing on Friday at Kochi metro’s depot at Muttom by Loknath Behera, managing director of Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL).
With this, KMRL will be able to generate about 3,000 units of power per day, helping the agency meet 42% of its total power requirements by itself. The metro agency is planning to produce an additional 2 MW of power by 2022 by setting up solar panels in Muttom track area and the nearby land area.
“KMRL intends to develop the use of solar energy in an inclusive manner to ensure its maximum usage from the available solar potential in this region since the metro operations are solely dependent on electrical power,” Mr. Behera said.
