SMC Expands Solar Power

Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) is set to significantly expand its solar power generation capacity through the implementation of three new projects. This strategic move aligns with SMC's commitment to sustainable energy practices and marks a substantial step towards augmenting the city's renewable energy portfolio.

The three upcoming solar projects are poised to contribute to Surat's energy resilience and reduce its carbon footprint. With a focus on harnessing clean and renewable sources, SMC's initiative reflects the city's dedication to promoting environmentally friendly energy solutions.

The expansion of solar power generation reinforces Surat's position as a forward-thinking city, embracing innovative approaches to meet its energy needs. The projects are expected to not only enhance the city's energy self-sufficiency but also contribute to national efforts in promoting green and sustainable energy practices.

As Surat Municipal Corporation embarks on this endeavour, it sets a precedent for other urban centres to explore and adopt renewable energy solutions. The commitment to scaling up solar power aligns with global initiatives to combat climate change and underscores the city's role in fostering a cleaner and more sustainable future.
