Mangalore Electricity Supply Company Ltd is all set to go green in powering up its corporate office at Paradigm Plaza at Attavar Balakrishna Shetty Circle here.
MANGALORE: Mangalore Electricity Supply Company (MESCOM) Ltd is all set to go green in powering up its corporate office at Paradigm Plaza at Attavar Balakrishna Shetty Circle here. The company that set new national benchmarks in successfully bring down transmission and distribution losses from 17.5% to 11.92% as of last year, has drawn up an ambitious plan to utilise solar power, thereby reducing dependency on grid power like other consumers.
The brainchild of former managing director Vijayanarasimha, the solar power project of the company has progressed to the stage where estimates are being prepared. The company will know the exact cost once the project comes to tender stage. As per the plan, the company intends to generate 25-KW of solar power, to meet the sanctioned load of corporate office. Any surplus power as per the plan will be ploughed back to the grid.
Vijayanarasimha, since posted as managing director, Karnataka Vidyuth Karkhane told TOI that there is enough space on the roof top of the corporate office where the solar panels can be accommodated. "We have had to make minor adjustments to building structure for it to take the load of solar panels to be set up on roof top," he said, adding that normally roof tops of buildings do not house additional heavy loads apart for water tank.
The architects have taken care of this aspect, Vijayanarasimha said, adding as and when load in corporate office dips, surplus power can be sent to the grid. This most importantly could be the first such endeavour among electricity supply companies in Karnataka where an Escom is using green power to power up its corporate office. Similar endeavour has been planned for KEB Engineers Association Hall at Kavoor with plans to generate 10-KW power.
