KOLKATA (Metro Rail News): Solar power player Fourth Partner Energy has recently said that it has tied up with Titagarh Wagons Ltd to supply 4.8 megawatts (MW) solar energy to electrify the latter’s three manufacturing units in West Bengal. Passenger and freight trains maker Titagarh Wagons Ltd has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Fourth Partner Energy to procure 4.8 MW of solar power for its wagon and steel foundries at Titagarh and its passenger coach and propulsion unit at Uttarpara, to effectively replace nearly 25 per cent of its current annual electricity demand with clean energy, a statement from Fourth Partner Energy said. All three power plants are expected to be commissioned by January 2021 according to the statement.
