Mumbai, Dec 15 (IBNS): Viviana Mall, a leading retail mall in Mumbai Metropolitan Region, announced the inauguration of 900KVA Rooftop solar power plant at the rooftop of the mall.

This is in sync with the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to raise renewable capacity to 175 gigawatts by 2022 from 45 gigawatts at present.

Viviana Mall becomes the first mall to install power plant at such a large scale which will save 30% of its electricity usage by using solar energy. The mall aims to generate around 33 lakh unit of electricity in the next three years using solar energy.

We as a part of the society are taking a small step towards saving energy by installing solar power plant in the mall. We received full co-operation, guidance and support from all concern government departments. We also aim to increase the power generation in coming years by 15 per cent and would want to be known as the greenest mall of India.”

Viviana Mall has successfully installed 900KVA Solar Panel on the roof top of the mall.

At the inauguration ceremony, Honorable Mayor of Thane, Sanjay More said, “Global warming is a slow poison which can lead to irreparable hazards if we do not take necessary precautionary measures.

The potential of solar energy is immense and the same needs to be harnessed to manage our depleting resources. Sooner or later usage of solar energy would become imperative for everyone.
