GRSE CMD Cmde PR Hari inaugurated the Solar Power Plant in the presence of RK Dash, Director (Finance), GRSE, Senior officials and employees of GRSE.
The new Solar Plant aims to facilitate reduction in the emission of greenhouse gas and supply power for construction of Warships and other vessels for the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard.
This 200 kWp Solar Plant is in addition to the Rooftop Solar Plant of 1500 kWp capacity that shows GRSE’s commitment towards green energy for reducing the impact of atmospheric climate change.
