NEW DELHI: All 27 elevated metro stations under Phase IV are being made future ready for solar plants. These stations will have spaces reserved for placing inverters, panels and other necessary equipment.
However, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials said after the construction of the stations, rooftop solar plants would be installed depending on their alignment and exposure to sunlight.
According to metro officials, the target is to set up 10 MW solar plants at the stations of Metro Phase IV, which is estimated to generate about 1 crore units of solar energy per year. In Phase IV, around 21.8 crore units of additional electricity will be required annually.
