IIM Udaipur leads the way towards sustainability with a 500 kW solar plant

The Indian Institute of Management Udaipur (IIMU) has installed a 500 kW solar plant on its campus as part of its Sustainability@IIMU campaign. The solar plant will cater to 30% of the institute's energy needs and is expected to generate 2,500 units per day and 7.30 lakh units annually. This will result in an estimated financial saving of 18 lakhs per annum and offset 543 tons of CO2 from the institute's carbon footprint. IIM Udaipur has illuminated the campus by installing 200 solar street light poles along a 3.5 km stretch of the inner peripheral road.
