Henceforth, people
visiting Atalji Janasnehi Kendras (restructured of Nemmadi Kendras)
will heave a sign of relief, for they will not be sent back siting
power cut problem like on the past.
Karnataka Renewable Energy
Development Limited (KREDL) is setting up 2KWP capacity each off-grid
solar power generating systems (Power Plant) at 166 Nemmadi Kendra of
Mysore Regional Commissioners Jurisdiction.
Three systems, one
printer, and a light can be used continuously in the generated power.
The Power Plant has already been installed at ten kendras namely
Varuna, Jaipur, Ilwala (Mysore), Bhagamandala (Kodagu), Chinnakurali
(Mandya), Shanthigrama (Hassan), Beruru, Mudabidri, Brahmavara and
Bannur.
According to Mysore Branch
Office KREDL Project Engineer DK Dinesh Kumar per day seven to eight
units of power can be generated and its sufficient for Nemmadi
Kendras.
An automatic change over
switch has also been provided so that, in case of cloudy weather the
system can be manually switched over to regular power supply.
To set-up power plant at
each Kendra, its cost around Rs 3.5 lakh (50% - Revenue Department;
30% - Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, GOI and 20% - KREDL).
Through e-procurement the tender and maintenance for five years has
been given for Bangalore-based 'Power One' company.
Project Engineer DK Dinesh
Kumar said that “Power interruption of hours together is common at
villages. People were sent back and works were upheld. Due to set-up
of solar panel the works will go on smoothly.”
“There are even instance
where diesel generators are used in time of emergency. To generate
per unit of power it would cost about Rs 7 to Rs 8 per unit. But now,
the power and other additional expenditure are cut down.”
“We have declared Mysore
city as solar city. If commercial buildings like malls, shopping
complex implement the programme, power problem can be solved for
large extent. There is 30 per cent subsidy by Government and one
should avail the opportunity, he added.
