The Model Central Jail, commonly referred to as Burail Jail, has now become self-reliant in power and meets all its energy requirements through solar power with a total capacity of 710 kWp. It has become first such facility in the country.
The total capacity included on-site solar power plant installation of 360kWp under the net metering arrangement and off-site solar power plant installation of 350kWp at the outer parking area under virtual net-metering.
Earlier, a 150kWp SPV power was installed under the net metering arrangement and a 350kWp solar plant under virtual net metering.
