Chennai Central railway station fully powered by solar energy; expenses come down
Solar Photo Voltaic panels have been installed in at least thirteen station buildings to tap natural solar power. The installation of solar panels at Chennai Central railway station and other places has brought down the expenses of the railways.
The South Central Railway (SCR) is the first of Indian Railways to come up with the concept of 'Energy Neutral' railway stations, a move appreciated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw tweeted that the 100 per cent day energy requirement of Chennai Central Station is met by #SolarPower. Vaishnaw's tweet was retweeted by PM Modi, who said the railway station has shown the way when it comes to solar energy.
The work for the green railway station started in October 2017 and was finished in 2019. At present, a total of 21.90 lakh units of power is generated in a year, out of which 13.14 lakh comes from the MMC complex and 8.76 lakh is received from Central station.
Solar power panels installed at many locations:
Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) panels have been installed in at least thirteen station buildings to tap natural solar power. These panels have been installed at railway stations and multiple locations, such as Chennai Central, Katpadi, MMC complex, Tambaram, Chengalpattu, Mambalam and in several other railway offices. The power is drawn from Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO).
