UNFCCC registers Delhi Metro’s Solar Power initiative as CDM project
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation’s initiative to install roof
top solar power plants at its premises has become the first
ever Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project to
be registered with the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for any Metro or
Railway system in the world.
The project has been registered under the ‘small scale category’ for those with a installed solar
capacity of less than 15 MW. The DMRC run roof top solar facilities have an installed capacity
of 14.983 MWp which translates to an estimated electricity generation of 19,687 MWh
annually.
A total of 31 grid connected roof top solar power facilities across the stations, depots,
Receiving Sub Stations and residential colonies of DMRC were identified for this project.
