NFR Launches Solar Power Plant in Guwahati

The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has successfully commissioned a 306.9 kilowatt-peak (KWp) solar power plant at the Uzanbazar Water Treatment Plant in Guwahati. This initiative marks a significant step towards NFR’s commitment to renewable energy and sustainable development. The plant, developed under the Environment and Housekeeping Management (EnHM) fund, is expected to generate an average of 928 units of electricity per day.

The project, valued at Rs 20.48 million, was completed on March 7, 2025, and is designed to supply power to the water treatment plant. It will also provide electricity to related infrastructure, including barges and jetties, through a dedicated electrical network. This move is part of NFR's efforts to reduce its reliance on conventional energy sources while maintaining operational efficiency.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the solar power plant is expected to lead to an estimated annual savings of Rs 3 million in electricity costs. With a payback period of eight years, the plant is projected to remain operational for at least 25 years, contributing to long-term energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint for the railway network.
