BCCL to add 48 MW of solar power by FY25 to boost renewable energy
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) plans to add 48 MW of solar power generation capacity by the end of FY 2024-25 as part of its commitment to sustainable energy. On Friday, Minister of State for Coal, Satish Chandra Dubey, inaugurated 51 rooftop solar plants with a cumulative capacity of 2.428 MW.
In addition to these rooftop installations, BCCL will expand its solar capacity with a 3 MW rooftop plant and a 20 MW ground-mounted solar project at Dugdha Washery, expected to be completed by 2024. Another 25 MW ground-mounted plant is planned at Bhojudih Coal Washery, scheduled for completion by March 2025.
This marks a significant step in BCCL’s efforts to contribute to India’s renewable energy goals, while balancing its core mission of coal production with green initiatives.
