Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power
company’s joint venture with Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), Maithon
Power (MPL) endeavors to improve the quality of life of communities
living around its area of operations. In line with this commitment, the
Company today announced the successful installation of special Solar
powered street lights in the areas adjoining the Maithon plant.
More than 120 Solar powered street lights
have been installed till date near the railway line and in the
peripheral villages of the plant. The objective of this initiative is to
reduce road accidents and snake bites in the village and to solve the
problem of mobility at night. The location for installation was selected
after careful assessment and joint survey by representatives of the
villages, Panchayats Mukhyas and District Administration Officials.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Bhaskar
Sarkar, CEO, MPL said, “We are committed to improve the quality of life
for the communities living in and around our area of operations. We
encourage our stakeholders to use renewable energy sources such as solar
power and these measures are a step forward towards achieving a greener
environment. We will constantly support and always respond to the need
of our surrounding communities by continuously organising such
initiatives in the future as well.”
Mr. Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Station Head, MPL,
added, “It is Tata Power’s philosophy to ensure alternative and
innovative power provision to all. We believe in making solar energy
accessible and affordable to everyone, especially those who do not have
access to electricity. With these, installations we plan to light up the
common areas in the peripheral villages with natural, sustainable and
alternate source of energy.”
