To be commissioned on July 30 by Dr Farooq Abdullah, the Minister for Non-Conventional Energy Sources, the plant is said to be the biggest of its kind in the world.

devotees at a time. It is constructed in an area of 7.5 acres. Its massive kitchen consumes 555 tonnes of gas every year for food and laddoo preparations. To cut down fuel expenditure and to check pollution from the kitchen, we have installed the gigantic solar energy system at a cost of Rs. 1. 33 crore, Sasane, who is also a lawmaker in Maharashtra said. Technical expertise was provided by Maharashtra energy development department, Vice chancellor of Shivaji University Dr. M.G. Takwale and Prof. Pathak of University of Pune.

generation at Supe in Ahmednagar district. It has the capacity of 1.2 MW.-Asian Tribune -Source - http://asiantribune.com/07/29/shirdi-saibaba-temple-gets-the-world’s-largest-solar-energy-system/Sairam,r hit beHaL
