To generate about 1.6 MW via rooftop units at 4,300 apartments in Hooghly

City-based Eden Realty Group Arya Sumant has launched a roof-top solar project comprising 4,300 dwelling units on a 23-acre plot acquired from the National Textile Corporation.

The project, which will come up in the affordable housing segment, will enable occupants not only to have dwelling units at affordable rates, but also save on maintenance charges they would otherwise have to pay in common service areas.

“We will generate about 1.6 MW through roof top solar units at this project which will have 4,300 apartments,” said joint managing director of Eden Realty Group Arya Sumant. This would be grid connected power, he said.

NTC land

The group is developing the project on land acquired from National Textile Corporation years ago, he said. The two-phased project would come up at Serampore in Hooghly district.

Former chairman of the erstwhile West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency S.P. Gon Chaudhuri said that substantial emission reduction is possible through such projects. “A daytime 1.5 MW solar power plant can reduce 1.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide emission on an hourly basis,” he said.

Besides reducing the service charge of the residents, major benefits would also accrue to top floor occupants, whose air-conditioning charges would be reduced due to roof-top installations.

Eden Realty chairman Sachchidanand Rai said that the flats would be priced between ₹4.95 lakh and ₹20.2 lakh. The project would also have other facilities like a mall with a multiplex and a hyper market.
