DMRC installs nine new solar power generation facilities

These solar power plants with a total generation capacity of 1,660.4 kWp, have been installed under RESCO (Renewable Energy Supply Company) Model, wherein the capital cost has been invested by the Solar Developer and DMRC has signed the Power Purchase Agreement for 25 years. DMRC will only pay Energy charges for the actual energy generated.

“The power generated will be used for the lighting and other auxiliary requirements of the station and depot buildings. The power Receiving Sub Station (RSS) of the Faridabad corridor has already been developed as a green building with a 50 kWp solar plant.
