A 2.3 MW solar plant was successfully installed at Kochi Metro's Muttom Depot and is all set to begin operation.
This solar plant is a green initiative by the Kochi Metro Rail to meet a part of its power requirements through renewable energy.
This is the first of many solar projects planned for the city's metro network.
In the Kochi Metro's pipeline of renewable energy are more 2.3 MW solar plants planned across its 22 stations, followed by a larger 4 MW plant at the depot for which a Detailed Project Report is currently being prepared by Pune's World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE).
