Guwahati Railway Station - First Fully Solar-Powered
Guwahati Railway Station became India’s first fully solar-powered railway station in 2017, with 700 kWp rooftop solar installation.
Did You Know India’s First Solar-Powered Railway Station Has Been Running Since 2017?
In 2017, Guwahati Railway Station in Assam became the first in India to go fully solar-powered, an early green leap by Indian Railways! With 2,352 solar modules generating 700 kWp on the station roof, it marked a renewable milestone. Over time, solar now contributes around 15% of its power needs.
Why It Matters
- Sustainability First: Guwahati led in transitioning India's rail infrastructure toward clean energy.
- Green Legacy: The move paved the way for solar adoption across more stations and corridors.
- Eco-Innovation: A prime early example aligning transport infrastructure with environmental responsibility.
