Hisar: In Haryana, an MoU was signed between the Central Government and the Haryana Government for generating electricity through waste. This will not only clean the cities but will also meet their electricity needs. Haryana has to depend on other states to meet its electricity needs. Every year the electricity demand is increasing in Haryana.
Today an MoU has been signed between Haryana and the Central Government in Chandigarh regarding this. This MoU has been signed between Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited (NTPC) and Gurugram and Faridabad Municipal Corporations adjoining Delhi in Haryana.
With the cooperation of the Central Government, waste-to-energy plants will be set up in Gurugram and Faridabad. Starting to convert waste to energy plants will not only dispose of the waste from these cities but will also meet the energy needs of this waste.
Union Energy, Housing, and Urban Development Minister Manohar Lal said in Delhi that by the year 2035, the current demand for electricity in the country will double and housing will have to be provided to 130 crore people. Keeping this in mind, Manohar Lal Khattar is working. Work is also going on in Haryana regarding this.
Manohar Lal had talked about setting up another unit in Haryana’s power plants, Jhandli and Khedar; apart from this, he had said that the construction work of the new Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant of 800 MW unit capacity in Yamunanagar, Haryana, will be completed soon. This will provide additional power to Haryana.
As the Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal introduced the Manohar model of 24-hour power supply along with bringing the power companies into profit during his tenure of 9 and a half years. Due to this, a 24-hour power supply is being provided in about 6,000 villages in urban areas of Haryana.
Line loss has come down from 37 per cent to 13 per cent. Along with this, not only did the four power companies of Haryana come into profit, but during the tenure of 9 and a half years in Haryana, there was never a hue and cry over electricity during the peak summer season. In the agricultural sector, farmers were also supplied with uninterrupted power for 8 to 10 hours.
