Solar Street Lighting as Renewable Energy solutions
Department
District Administration
Project Details
Power supply to Tseminyu is fed through 33kv line feeder located in Wokha district. Apart from facing woefully inadequate power supply, power outages are frequent and common in Tseminyu. Lighting of streets and public places in Tseminyu is virtually nil or insignificant. Despite the increased requirement for lighting the streets and public places in Tseminyu, drawing power from the existing power grid is neither reliable nor viable because of the foregoing reasons and also because of unavailability of fund. On the other hand, solar lighting is not only environmentally friendly and sustainable but also reliable with zero implications on the existing state power load. In the absence of other alternative sources, CSR investment in this project becomes the only practical solution. Hence, the need for the project.
