KOCHI: The Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) will increase the capacity of its solar power production by setting up one more plant at Muttom yard. The new plant, with a capacity to generate 2719 KW, will be opened on Monday.
“With the opening of the new solar power plant, which will have panels installed over four hectares, KMRL will be able to meet nearly 40 per cent of its total power requirements by itself. The agency is planning to produce an additional 5,400 KW power by next year by setting up solar panels in another two hectares of land at Muttom and in nine metro stations,” according to KMRL authorities.
