The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) commissioned a 400-KW solar plant at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, a cricket stadium in Bengaluru. The 4.5 crore project was commissioned in February 2024 and aligns with the global efforts to mitigate carbon footprint and promote renewable energy.
The solar plant aims to reduce KSCA’s power consumption substantially. Their electricity consumption will reduce from 18 lakh units to 6 lakh units annually and they will also sell any additional power to the Bangalore Electricity Supply Co grid.
H Nandi, the founder of the company, MRO-TEK that implemented the project said “In a matter of four years, the KSCA will get its returns and it would also be able to generate Rs 70-80 lakh revenue with the power it generates.“
Future plans include extending solar power to operate floodlights, utilizing LED bulbs to significantly reduce power consumption without compromising lighting quality.
Implementation of sustainable practices reflects KSCA’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sets a precedent for other sports venues worldwide.
