In a giant stride towards harnessing the green/renewable energy, Salem Division, Southern Railway, has commissioned its first Green Power Railway Station, viz. Athur, today (31.01.2015). The Solar Power Plant of 1.2 KW capacity connected to a Hybrid invertor with battery back up installed in the Athur Station, will provide 24 hours power supply to the unreserved/advanced passenger ticket reservation centers as well as the Station Master’s office. This Solar Plant has been commissioned at a cost of Rs.2.7 lakhs and will replace the existing Diesel Generating power back up system, thus saving considerable amount of generator fuel as well as reduce the carbon footprint.
