HYDERABAD: One third of energy requirements of L&T metro will be sourced from renewable sources like solar and wind energy across all corridors.
In GreenPro Summit, 2018, M.P. Naidu, project director, L&T Metro, said “the metro will be using three megawatts for complete operations across all corridors per day. A third of the requirement will be met through renewable energy sources.”
“If solar rooftops are used in the depot and the 100 acres of land at Nagole and Miyapur respectively, the Metro will be able to generate the required amount of energy,” he added.
About 40 per cent of energy is sourced from solar power for four stations Nagole, Uppal, Survey of India (Uppal stadium) and Miyapur. The implementation of solar plants follows the example of the Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) model, in which a company will install a solar power plant and not pay anything upfront.
A power purchase agreement is signed between the installer and the consumer at a mutual price at the L&T Metro Rail.
