OREANDA-NEWS. November 26, 2012. Haldia: In line with its continuous efforts to provide environment-friendly solutions, Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power utility, has initiated the use of solar panels for street lights and switch yard areas at their Haldia plant under the Greenolution campaign.

This innovative idea has been taken forward by the Haldia team of Tata Power. Around 10 conventional street lights have been replaced by solar street lights to save the auxiliary power of the plant. Earlier, the plant was using 220 V, 150 W HPSV lamps at the sites which have now been replaced by solar lights, thus saving around 7,300 KWH of power on a yearly basis. Similar lights have also been installed in the switch yard areas, so that illumination will be available during blackout or emergencies.

Speaking on this initiative, Abhijit Ain Das, station manager, Haldia power plant, said, “The Haldia team has put in all efforts to ensure that the Greenolution initiative leads the way for the sustainability movement at Tata Power. We are delighted to see the results of the solar street lights and will continue to introduce such innovative initiatives for the betterment of the society.”
