NCRTC has installed solar panels on stations, depots and substations of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor. Presently, these installations generate 2.21 MWp solar power in-house, resulting in an annual reduction of 2,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), as stated by officials.
NCRTC officials state their goal is to fulfill 70% of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor’s total energy needs with solar power.
“The NCRTC has taken significant strides in embracing renewable energy through its widespread adoption of solar power infrastructure along India’s first Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor. By installing solar panels on rooftops, NCRTC has transformed its stations, depots, and receiving substations into centres of clean and sustainable energy,” said an NCRTC official.
The Guldhar and Sahibabad RRTS stations now have operational solar power plants, each with a peak capacity of 729 kilowatts (kWp). Similarly, solar power plants with capacities of 585 kWp and 108 kWp are operational at the Duhai Depot and Duhai Depot station, respectively. “The Murad Nagar Receiving Sub Station (RSS,) with a capacity of 43 kWp, and the Ghaziabad RSS, with a capacity of 20 kWp, also generate solar power. Installation at other stations is also in progress,” the official said.
The solar plants at Guldhar and Sahibabad RRTS stations have each been equipped with 1,620 high-efficiency solar panels.
