Chandigarh: The country’s first green energy plant which generates electricity from stubble has been set up at village Khurshid Nagar in Rewari district of Haryana. Moving towards environmental conservation, this plant can be considered as the most successful step in power generation along with being pollution-free.

Sharing more information in this regard, an official spokesperson said the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency along with K-2 Power Renewable Private Limited has set up the country’s first green energy plant at village Khurshid Nagar, making Rewari district a perfect model in this regard.

The power generated from stubble through this plant in Khursaid Nagar is being provided to Bisoha 33-KV sub-station and regular supply of electricity from the sub-station to Bisoha village has started. He said that at the beginning of this ambitious project, Chief Minister Manohar Lal had described the steps taken with regard to stubble management as commendable.

With this, the evident positive attitude of the public utilities including the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency towards the environmental conservation has come to fore. He said that Rewari district had been playing a noteworthy role in implementing the suggestions given by Chief Minister Lal regarding stubble management. 

The green energy plant has generated 48,000 units of power from 600 quintal stubble in 24 hours without pollution. Along with the generation of electricity, about 150 people are also getting direct employment in this plant in the area.

The spokesperson said that this plant is working on a biomass gas method instead of a boiler, thus there is no possibility of polluting the environment. Electricity is being produced only from the gas produced from the five stubble-powered engines. /BI/
