Harnessing the power of Solar energy
The solar power plant will help reduce dependency on the Diesel-based Power Generation plant, while it’ll give a push towards sustainable energy solutions in the region. The Lakshadweep Energy Development Agency (LEDA) will now harness power from these solar plants, marking a pivotal shift from diesel-based power to a sustainable, eco-friendly energy source.
Over the anticipated technical lifespan, the project is expected to yield commercial savings of approximately Rs 250 crores. The substantial reduction of diesel consumption by up to 190 lakh litres and the offsetting of 58,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. Further, the Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) has roped in the project to extend its expertise.
During his latest visit to the tropical archipelago region, PM dedicated and laid the foundation stone of Rs 1,150 development projects in Lakshadweep. These development projects cover a wide range of sectors including technology, energy, water resources, healthcare, and education.
