Conergy Builds 900 kW Stand-Alone PV Systems for Madhya Pradesh Forest
Department
Hamburg / Bangalore, 31 October 2012 - Conergy once again strengthens its
footprint in India. As one of the market leaders who pioneered off-grid
installations in India, the solar solution and service provider has
completed a 900 kilowatt peak stand-alone project for the Madhya Pradesh
Forest Department (MPFD). The MPFD is the forest service agency under the
Madhya Pradesh government responsible for the protection and conservation
of the forest's natural resources. They oversee 95,000 square kilometres of
forest land and supervise 9 national parks and 25 wildlife sanctuaries
including the nature preserves of India's prized Bengal tigers. As Madhya
Pradesh harbours 19% of India's tiger population and 10% of the world's
tiger population, the MPFD has a mandate to protect and ensure the
maintenance of viable populations of the Bengal tigers.
'Our forests and national parks are our most precious resources and it is
our utmost duty to preserve them as the home of the Bengal tigers', said
Mr. Sartaj Singh, Honorable Minister for Forest, Government of Madhya
Pradesh. 'Clean and emission-free solar power is therefore just what we
needed to prevent our ranger offices from facing severe power outages and
to meet the demand for electricity with ecologically sound measures.'
For this reason, the MPFD has engaged Conergy to supply their ranger
offices with clean and environmentally friendly energy. The project
consists of 755 one kilowatt and 29 five kilowatt stand-alone photovoltaic
systems which were erected to enable communications and internet
connectivity in the field offices to its Bhopal headquarters.
'Most of our field offices are located in remote forest areas and some of
them have no access to a distributed power grid. For these offices,
off-grid systems have become the lifelines that power the computers and
radios used by our rangers. With these SPV systems, the MPFD is able to
continue its legacy of protecting our forests not only from poachers but
also from the harmful effects caused by greenhouse gas emissions,'
according to Mr. Anil Oberoi - Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (IT),
Government of Madhya Pradesh.
As the main contractor, Conergy has not only supplied the off-grid
crystalline modules for this project, but was also engaged in the design,
procurement, installation and commissioning of these stand-alone
photovoltaic systems. Moreover, the solution and service provider will
continue to be involved in its maintenance. These power stations will
generate as much as 1,360 megawatt hours of clean energy every year and
will save 777 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
'Energy is a precious resource in India,' said Steffen Hesche, President of
Conergy India. 'In late July, the country faced the largest power grid
collapse in the last eleven years with more than 600 million people
affected - half of the subcontinent's population. To avert power
disruptions, many enterprises have turned to diesel generators which are
expensive and come with huge environmental and health costs. But advances
in technology have since made emission-free off-grid photovoltaic systems a
viable alternative. With these stand-alone systems, the Madhya Pradesh
Forest Department has protected itself against power outages while
contributing to the preservation of Bengal tigers' natural habitat.'
