Lieutenant Governor of Delhi VK Saxena inaugurated a 2 MW solar power plant in Baansera to bolster the renewable energy infrastructure in the Capital.

“The solar park spread over 20,000 square metres will provide Delhi Development Authority (DDA) with solar power at a fixed tariff of INR 4.42 per unit for 25 years. The project will generate approximately 27 lakh units of electricity annually,” shared Saxena on X.

He further shared that with zero installation and operation and maintenance cost for DDA, it will benefit nearly 144 parks under the group net metering policy.

“The solar park will not only contribute to the national renewable energy targets but also serve as a model for other urban development authorities to adopt clean energy solutions,” he said.

He also inaugurated an exclusive Children’s Play Area at DDA’s Baansera. “With this, Delhi for the first time gets a recreational hub where every equipment and accessory is made of biodegradable eco-friendly material,” he said.
