BMC Plans Rooftop Solar Installation at 18 Mumbai Fire Brigade Stations

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to install rooftop solar panels on 18 Mumbai Fire Brigade stations as part of its Mumbai Climate Action Plan aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Rs 13.50 crore project targets generating 790 KW of power and reducing electricity costs by at least 10%. Selection of stations was based on space availability, with structural and shadow analyses planned to optimize efficiency. Future phases may extend solar installations to other municipal buildings.
