Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated multiple solar power plants with a combined capacity of 1 megawatt for Surat Municipal Corporation in Gujarat. The solar projects are located at multiple locations in the city for powering three water distribution plants and 18 municipal schools.“With the latest addition of the plants, Surat Municipal Corporation has become the first Municipal Corporation in the country which is not dependent on any electricity company for water distribution. The electricity generated through the solar power plants will be used for the city’s waterworks, water distribution center, and water treatment plant,” Waaree Energies, which has set up the projects, said in a statement.
