CASE STUDY
Howrah railway station is set to go green with the installation of 3MW roof-top solar panels on
platform sheds. “We are executing a 3MW rooftop solar project for eastern railway at a cost of Rs 21
crore which will probably be the largest rooftop solar project in the Indian Railways,” RaysExpert
director Rahul Gupta told PTI.
RaysExpert is a renewable energy service company, engaged in the project. Confirming the
development, eastern railway CPRO Ravi Mahapatra said that 14 platform sheds will be used to
setup the rooftop solar panels. Annual Power generation rom this power project will be around 3
million units.
According to estimates, 50 to 60 per cent of the power demand at Howrah station can be met
through solar energy. Gupta said that the eastern railway will make sizeable saving in electricity cost
after the implementation of the project. Eastern Railways average annual revenue savings from this
project is around Rs.1.9 Cr.
Rooftop solar projects are gaining popularity in government buildings due to the subsidy provided by
the Centre to the tune of 15 per cent, making projects viable for both service providers and buyers.
