The Municipal Corporation is carrying out negotiations with Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) to install solar power plants at its building and other important installations in the city.
PEDA had demanded Rs50 lakh as implementation charges and an advance payment of around Rs10 crore for the project from the civic body. Unhappy with the demand, the MC has asked it to drop the charges as the firm is the promoters of solar power. The MC also objected to the advance payment.
