A solar power plant of three MW was commissioned at the Indian Naval Academy in Ezhimala, Kerala on 22 July 2020.
The project is in line with the government of India initiative of National Solar Mission to achieve 100 GW solar power by 2022.
The project has been executed by the Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation (KELTRON). All components have been indigeneously sourced, including 9,180 highly efficient mono-crystalline solar panels employing the latest technology.
The solar plant is the largest in the Indian Navy and has an estimated life of 25 years.
The surplus power generated will also feed the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) electricity grid.
