Indian Railways sets up solar plant in Bina

  Indian Railways has set up a  1.7 MW solar power plant in Madhya Pradesh's Bina.

The energy generated from the power plant will be used to run trains.

Indian Railways will commission the 1.7 MW solar power plant in next 15 days which will save Rs 1.37 crore annually.

The pilot project is under extensive testing and trial.

The 1.7 MW solar power plant has been set up as a pilot project by Railways in collaboration with Bharat Heavy Electrical (BHEL) on railway land near the tracks in Bina.

The plant will have stepped up voltage of 25,000 volts through transformers to be fed to the overhead power lines of the Railways to power the traction system of the locomotives.

The feed from the plant has been synchronised with the 25kV Railway Overhead Line.
