The Odisha state government has approved a proposal for
installation of solar panel in roof top of all government establishments in Bhubaneswar
and Cuttack area under PPP model and has directed the implementing agency to
sign agreements with International Finance Corporation (IFC).
Last week,
the government declared the newly floated company GEDCOL (Green Energy Development
Corporation Ltd ) as the nodal agency for on-grid solar energy projects in the
state whereas off-grid generation such as solar cooking, pumping,
refrigeration, heating and industrial process will be Odisha Renewable Energy
Development Agency (OREDA)’s responsibility .
In the first year of the implementation, the government has
decided to use the office rooftops of government offices, agencies,
directorates and state PSUs situated in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, and later the
scheme will be planned for other districts. read more..
The
Biju Patnaik airport in Bhubaneswar will generate 100 KW electricity from solar
power plant to meet the daily electricity requirements.
The airport has signed a power purchase
agreement (PPA) with a Gurgaon-based private firm, Lanco, for setting up the
plant. The firm will sell power to the airport. About 360 solar photo voltaic (SPV)
panels have been installed near the airport. Each panel will generate 300 W electricity.
"The solar power plant will supplement the power requirement of the airport, which requires 3,000 KW of electricity, to run both the new domestic and proposed international terminals," said airport director Sharad Kumar.read more..
