Chandigarh August 13:-A team of Israeli Company, MST (a renewable energy Company) made a presentation before the Chandigarh Administration today for setting up of 250 MW Solar Power Plant in Chandigarh.
Chandigarh Administration has no power generation of its and is entirely depending upon BBMB and Central Generating Stations like NTPC, NHPC & NPCIL for meeting the
power requirements of the city. In order to make Chandigarh self sufficient in meeting its power requirements, the administration plans to set up a power plant of its own.
The presentation was made by the Israeli team consisting of Mr.Dov Raviv, MD&CEO, Mr.Roy Rosenstrich, Mr.Alexender Libin and Mr. Andrey Arkhipov before S.K.Sandhu, F.S.-cum-Secretary Engineering and other senior officers of the administration. The proposal for setting up 250 MW Solar Power Plant using concentrated photovoltaic
technology was discussed in detail. During presentation CEO of the Company emphasized that the use of this new technology in place of flat panel silicon technology will double the efficiency of the project while the cost would be reduced
by around 40%. The team also visited the possible sites viz. Patiala-ki-Rao, Sukhna Choe etc. for setting up of the project.
Though the cost of setting up thermal/hydro power plants is lesser as compared to solar power plant, these plants have not been found feasible in Chandigarh due to pollution constraints/non availability of hydro source. The setting up of Solar Power Plant requires huge capital investment but the operation and maintenance cost is minimal while no fuel cost is involved.
