plans to put up additional capacity in the near future to pioneer green power
generation.

of installed now is designed to generate 6833 units per month which makes it
82,000 units annually of solar power, and will be used for captive consumption
purpose and monthly saving of electricity bill of around Rs 54,600, SCA said.
In terms of saving of carbon emission, it translates to a saving of about 50
tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

executed the project and the stadium is now eco-friendly. The stadium has
utilised the space for helping to protect the environment, the release added.

सौराष्ट्र क्रिकेट एसोसिएशन का खंडेरी स्टेडियम आज सोलर पावर से लैस देश का दूसरा स्टेडियम बन गया। इससे पहले सिर्फ बेंगलुरू के चिन्नास्वामी स्टेडियम में ही सोलर पावर की सुविधा मौजूद थी।
शहर से 15 किलोमीटर दूर बने एससीए स्टेडियम ने 50 किलोवॉट का सोलर रूफटॉप सिस्टम लगाया है जिनका उद्घाटन आज भारत-दक्षिण अफ्रीका तीसरा वनडे शुरू होने से पहले किया गया। एससीए ने आगे इस पावर पैनल को और बढ़ाने का प्लान भी बना रखा है। मौजूदा सोलर पैनल हर महीने स्टेडियम को 6833 यूनिट बिजली प्रदान करेगा, जिसका मतलब साल में 82,000 यूनिट मिलेंगे। इससे स्टेडियम अपने हर महीने आने वाले बिजली के बिल को भी बचाएगा।
