NDMC draws plan to switch to green power in three yrs
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.
