Vedanta Aluminium has installed and operationalized 325 solar-powered streetlights across Jharsuguda and Sundargarh, generating an estimated 28,470 kWh of clean energy and helping to reduce approximately 24 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year.
These streetlights are located in villages including Jamkhani, Girisima, Jharpalam, Hemgir, RnR Colony, Bileimunda, Mundherkhet, Ghogharpalli, Podajalanga, Rengalpani, Kudaloi, Banjari, Bartap, Grindola, Piplimal, Liakhai, Lakhanpur, and Belpahar municipality.
The initiative has significantly improved night-time safety and accessibility, particularly benefiting women, senior citizens, and daily commuters.
“The solar lights are functioning well and are regularly maintained. This initiative has improved safety and convenience for our village. Everyone in the village appreciates the company’s efforts in addressing the needs of our community,” stated Sanatan Nayak from Kudaloi.
