Kochi: The 100KW pilot solar power project of the Cochin International Airport Ltd (Cial) is ready for commissioning. The project would go on stream as soon as the Kerala State Electrical Inspectorate gives its approval, Cial said in a statement. Cial has submitted the required application to the inspectorate. With the commissioning of the pilot unit, Cial would be among the first few international airports in the country to use solar energy for its power requirements, marking a big step towards “going green”, said Cial.

Will Set Up Demo Projects In Pune, Mumbai To Study Technical Feasibility Of Power Generation Pune: The Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) will install two grid-connected solar rooftop photovoltaic systems as demo projects in two government buildings, one each in Pune and Mumbai, in a bid to study the technical feasibility of these projects. The study is necessary to help kick-start large-scale implementation of grid-connected solar rooftop photovoltaic systems in the state, which, said MEDA officials, is a viable option since these systems help generate power through solar energy and do not require land for installation.
Kolkata/Ranchi: Coal India (CIL) is foraying into the solar power sector with a view to make use of its whopping cash reserve of above R60,000 crore in a meaningful way.
