APM Terminals Pipavav commissions 1,000-kilowatt peak DC capacity solar power plant

APM Terminals Pipavav has commissioned a 1,000 kWp peak direct current (DC) capacity solar power plant at the port. This is a part of the Gujarat green gateway project. With the commissioning of the rooftop solar power plant, the port will reduce the overall energy consumption from the grid supply. Solar power will help in replacing approximately 10 per cent of the port’s total energy consumption and reduce the carbon footprint by 1,100 tonnes per year.
