Central to this collaboration are several key initiatives designed to enhance sustainability and operational efficiency within the milk value chain. This includes the solarization of Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCSs), Bulk Milk Coolers (BMCs), and Milk Chilling Centers, facilitated by cutting-edge solar microgrid technology.
Chairman, NDDB highlighted that this MoU is a significant milestone as two great institutions, NDDB and Tata Power, are coming together to pursue a sustainable & efficient dairy value chain. The aim is to integrate renewable energy solutions, boost operational efficiency and promote use of green fuels.
A key highlight of this partnership is the ambitious plan to transform Mujkuva village in Anand district, Gujarat, into a Carbon Neutral Village through the collaborative efforts of NDDB and TP Renewable Microgrid. This endeavor targets to promote sustainability in rural economies and foster a greener future for the dairy industry.
Additionally, the partnership prioritizes the integration of dung-based biogas power generators into these microgrids, advancing sustainable energy practices within the dairy sector. Energy-efficient chullahs (stoves), solar dryers, and cold storage solutions will also be applied to enhance operational efficiencies in dairy and agricultural sectors. Furthermore, comprehensive energy audits will be conducted on existing electric and thermal systems to identify opportunities for improvement and implement efficient, sustainable solutions.
This strategic partnership between TPRMG and NDDB is poised to establish a benchmark in the dairy industry by integrating green energy solutions and promoting sustainability across the entire milk value chain. The collaboration invigorates the adoption of advanced technologies, driving significant environmental benefits, reducing energy costs, and encouraging sustainable practices, thus ccontributing to India's renewable energy adoption and rural development.
