The Delhi Secretariat seems to become self sufficient for its power needs through Solar Energy as it is planning to install around 5 MW Solar Power Project in the premises.
In a meeting held between the Union Minister of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and Chief Minister of Delhi along with other senior officials, the proposal of 5 MW Solar Project for the secretariat was discussed and finalized.
Construction work will began once land is identified for this purpose and a contract to the EPC Contractor is awarded.
According to the Government, once the project is commissioned, the Secretariat will be able to harness the solar energy at Rs. 5 per unit for the next 25 years.
However, the current requirement of the Secretariat building is only 2.5 MW; hence the balance power will be supplied to other offices of the Delhi Government such as Old Secretariat, Directorate of Information & Publicity office, Anti Corruption unit etc.
Earlier, the Chhatishgarh New Secretariat in Naya Raipur has installed the Solar Project for its power consumption needs.
