EESL, MSEDCL Commission 8 MW Solar Agro Project at Devdaithan

• EESL and also MSEDCL have actually commissioned an 8 MW solar-agro project at Devdaithan. The service the project was completed in six months.

Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) and also Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) have actually appointed a 7987 kWp (8 MW) solar-agro project at Devdaithan. The deal with the project was completed in 6 months.

The project is part of EESL's dedication to the state under the Mukhya Mantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana, where it will provide the state Discom with 679 MW of solar power. As a part of the initiative, the Discoms' agri-feeders are being transformed right into solar agri-feeders.

EESL has already mounted 2 solar projects in Ahmednagar area, consisting of a 507 KW project in Ashwi as well as 858 KW project in Koplewadi. Under these projects, EESL has actually transformed feeders providing power for agri-purposes right into solar feeders, which are helping 3000 farming customers. The campaign has actually additionally decreased 11500 bunches in CO2 emissions, which will result right into Rs 2.2 crore in financial savings to Discom per year. EESL has spent Rs 33.7 crore in this project.

Saurabh Kumar, EVC, EESL claimed "we consider it as an honour to sustain the tidy energy aspirations of MSEDCL, India's largest distribution utility. The rate and scale of our solar energy installations in Maharashtra are setting an effective standard for collaborations with other Discoms across the nation."

EESL has actually completed its study of all forecasted sub-stations and also building and construction of such solar plants is currently underway at most websites. 107 MW of set up generation capability is already in place, from 108 decentralized solar plants.

As a part of an MoU with MSEDCL, EESL installs, financial resources, operates and also maintains decentralized power plants (0.5 MW- 10 MW) in the open areas around MSEDCL sub-stations. MSEDCL offers leased room, distributes of power produced, as well as takes on metering, to name a few key solutions.

It will likewise considerably profit the state's distribution companies. MSEDCL is exploring Ag feeder solarisation on mass basis, for which the land purchase procedure on lease basis from government as well as private parties is underway, so as to provide day time power supply to the Ag customers.

" Private celebrations can offer their land located within 5 kms periphery of the neighboring substation to MSEDCL under this project on lease basis. By sustaining the execution of the Mukhya Mantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana throughout the state, we will certainly enable the state to create 1.4 crore devices of low-carbon power, while lowering CO2 exhausts by 9.73 lakh bunch."
