NF Railway To Generate About 8000 KWp Solar Power

GUWAHATI: The Indian Railway has taken a conscious decision to reduce its carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption which is produced by using fossil fuel. With that target, NF Railway has started harnessing of solar power and replacement of traditional lighting with LED lights. Already each of the stations in Northeast Frontier Railway has been provided with 100% LED-lighting. A 1043 KWp of solar power generating capacity is under installation. Apart from this about 4365 KWp of solar power is also planned for installation within short time. Once all these are commissioned, the total solar power generation in NFR will reach nearly about 8000 KWp leading to generation of about 37 lakh units of clean & green electricity with savings of about Rs 4.73 crore from annual conventional energy bills, a press release stated.
