Tata Power’s Industrial Energy (IEL), Kalinganagar plant, Orissa has taken a target to offset carbon generation of FY17 with an average of 40 tonnes (approximately) of CO2 per month by distributing LEDs in nearby villages under its CR programme. This target is in line with Tata Power’s commitment of care for environment.
Tata Power, as part of its sustainable practices, monitored and analysed the carbon footprint at its Kalinganagar plant. The initiative calculated carbon emissions by company vehicles, hired vehicles, electricity consumed in office building/bachelor accommodation and guest houses, outstation travel by individuals for official purposes and LPG consumed in canteen services. To compensate for the carbon footprint, the company has decided to distribute 2,000 LED bulbs in the nearby communities in current financial year to offset the carbon emitted in FY17.
Tata Power is India’s largest integrated power company with a growing international presence. The company together with its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities has presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Fuel Security and Logistics, Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
