Jamia Millia Islamia will be only using solar energy on its campus from June-end.
The university, on Tuesday, signed an MoU with the Solar Energy Corporation of India(SECI) approved company, Sunsource Energy, that would execute the project on a turnkey-basis and maintain the plant for the next 25 years under Renewable Energy Service Company (RESCO) model. Jamia would be supplied electricity at Rs 3.39 per unit for 25 years. The MoU is in line with the central government’s target of installation of 40 GWp grid connected solar rooftops by 2022.
After an agreement with SECI, the university would be placing a 2.50 MWp solar photo voltaic system on several buildings. This, the university said, is an attempt to run the university completely on renewable energy.

May be other universities around the country can also go for this.
