An official of Delhi Metro said the power produced from this plant will meet the power requirements of the DMRC at this station.
A power purchase agreement (PPA) regarding the installation of the plant was signed last February between the Delhi Metro and a multinational firm that is engaged in installation of solar power plants.
This is the largest roof top plant with such capacity in Delhi National Capital Region under the RESCO model. Under this model, the DMRC will pay for the units generated by the plant and the capital investment shall be provided by the developer.
The Delhi Metro is also looking at the possibility of installing more such plants at its stations, depots, parking lots as well as residential complexes.
