KOCHI, Nov 29 : SmartCity Kochi commissioned today a 564-kWp rooftop solar power plant that can generate on an average 8,20,000 units of electricity annually, making it one of the largest among the IT parks in Kerala.

The plant, which will help reduce 670 tonnes of carbon emission every year, was inaugurated by Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) Chairman Mr Preman Dinaraj. Present on the occasion were SmartCity Kochi CEO Mr Manoj Nair, Sunshot Technologies CEO Mr Rahul Dasari and senior representatives of IT firms and Co-developers who are developing their projects inside the IT Township.

Built by Berkeley Energy, the green solution’s installation has been designed, engineered and commissioned by Sunshot Technologies. Berkeley, which delivers clean energy projects in emerging markets globally, has built the SmartCity plant under the OPEX model where the supplier invests, operates and maintains it.

The KSERC chairman hailed SmartCity Kochi for implementing the solar power project

under the BOT model. “Power distribution licensees are also supposed to manage their power needs from non-conventional sources. SmartCity Kochi, based on their current

consumption, has more than met the renewable power obligation as per central government standards,” he pointed out.

Environmental responsibility and green initiatives have been SmartCity’s priority and the plant will contribute to the renewable power obligation, Mr Nair said. “We ensure that all our co-developers implement their plans of achieving at least 4.5 per cent of their total power consumption from renewable energy sources. This initiative will enable us reduce the carbon footprint equivalent of 480 small cars a year,” he pointed out.
