Delhi Metro becomes first ever metro project in India to receive power from waste to energy plant!
Delhi Metro achieves big feat! In an environment-friendly initiative towards sustainable development, the Delhi Metro has become the first ever metro project in the country to generate and receive power from a waste-to-energy plant. According to a press release by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the metro project in its constant endeavour towards environment-friendly solutions, is now receiving 2 MW power from a 12 MW capacity Waste to Energy (WtE) plant of the East Delhi Waste Processing Company Limited (EDWPCL) which is situated in Ghazipur.
DMRC has been receiving power through this plant, since the beginning of this month, in order to meet the operating requirements of Delhi Metro Pink Line. DMRC will take approximately 17.5 MUs per annum from this particular plant. The power received is being utilised at the Vinod Nagar Receiving Sub-Station (RSS) of DMRC.
