National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB) of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) inaugurated a solar grid of 900 kilowatt peak (kWp) on its campus in Gachibowli here during the recent Earth Day celebrations.
The solar panels, which together produce 1.3 Million Units of electricity a year, can cut annual CO2 emissions by approximately 1,100 tonnes and save the institute over ₹1 crore in energy cost. With this, the institute’s solar power-generation capacity has increased to 1 megawatt (MW).
