The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has laid down the road map to become the first urban local body to fully switch to green energy by 2025, its vice-chairman Satish Upadhyay said on Wednesday.
As part of the plan approved at a council meeting on Wednesday, NDMC will purchase 142MW of electricity from non-carbon based power generation sources, and add another 100MW of solar-based power next year, said Upadhyay. Currently, the NDMC areas utilise around 450MW power.
Council member Kuljeet Chahal said the green energy component will be increased to 32% this year, 65% by 2023, 83% by 2024 and 100% by 2025.
