Medical waste fueled power plant in Delhi
After experimenting generation of power from garbage, the Delhi government now wants to try and explore whether electricity can be generated from medical and electronic waste in the capital.
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit admitted that power in the national capital has become expensive and there was a need for change in mindset.
The government was working on partnership with other states to set up coal power projects to meet the electricity requirements of the city which most of the time depends on the national grid, Dikshit said here.
"We have decided to shut down two coal-based power plants in the city and replace them with as many gas-based power plants which will generate a total of 2250 MW electricity," she told a seminar 'Green India, Clean India'.
The chief minister said the government is experimenting generating power from garbage.
"We should also see whether the medical and electronic waste can be used to generate electricty... We have to see that aspect too," she said, adding that power is becoming very costly in the capital day by day.
