New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu has approved land transfer to DMRC to install a lift at Rohini West Metro station, a move that will facilitate commuters along with patients and attendants visiting BSA hospital in the area.
The LG has also approved allotment of Gram Sabha land for a 66 KV solar pooling sub station in Issapur village, Lok Niwas officials said on Wednesday.
The land belonging to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has been transferred after LG’s approval to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for installing the lift.
An earlier proposal regarding this was rejected by Land and Building department of Delhi government, on policy grounds, officials said.
The Gram Sabha land measuring 9 bighas in Issapur Village of South-West district for setting up of a 66KV/11 KV solar pooling substation will accelerate Delhi’s clean energy push. The land belonging to DDA has been allotted to the Power Department, free of cost on a lease basis for a fixed tenure of 99 years, they said.
Power discom BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) that manages electricity distribution across South, West, and South-West Delhi, has reported a substantial surge in solar connection applications within the agricultural belts near Issapur-Dhansa village, they said.
The ground-mounted solar installations are being deployed on private agricultural land under the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (Net-Metering for Renewable Energy) Regulation, 2014.
The existing 11 KV local network cannot safely evacuate or absorb the heavy volume of renewable power generated by these localized agricultural units and the new solar pooling grid substation will serve for transmission of solar energy back into the primary city grid, they added. PTI VIT NB
