Union Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy, Shripad Naik has recently inaugurated the installation of a 45 kW On-Grid Solar Power System at a water pumping station in North Goa district under IREDA’s CSR initiative.
Expected to generate about 60,000 units annually, the project will achieve 100% solarization of the pumping load. It aims to showcase how renewable energy can sustainably power public water distribution systems.
In a message, Pradip Kumar Das, CMD, IREDA, said, “This initiative underlines IREDA’s commitment to extend clean energy beyond financing and into community development. Solarization of public services such as water pumping stations can become a replicable model for sustainable energy transition nationwide.”
