Western Railway Calls Solar Bids

04 Nov 2024 CW Team

Western Railway has invited bids for a 1.2 MW solar power project, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable energy practices within the Indian railway system. The project aligns with India's broader objective to increase renewable energy integration into national infrastructure, as the railway sector pursues enhanced energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions. This solar installation is part of ongoing efforts to support India’s renewable energy targets, particularly in reducing reliance on non-renewable power sources across major infrastructure networks.

The bid invitation calls for experienced solar developers to design, engineer, and commission the solar project, which is expected to harness solar photovoltaic technology to supply power directly to railway operations, decreasing dependency on conventional electricity sources. By deploying solar technology, Western Railway aims to advance its green infrastructure objectives and serve as a model for eco-friendly practices within the transportation sector.

With government support and policy incentives backing the integration of renewable energy into public sectors, India’s railway system is progressively adopting clean energy, contributing to a sustainable energy transition nationwide. This bid is anticipated to attract competitive offers from the solar industry, enabling Western Railway to obtain cost-effective and reliable solar energy solutions.
