The Ahilya Fort Heritage Hotel’s most recent initiative is the implementation of a solar plant. This clean and green energy solar plant boasts a capacity of 77 kWp/70 kW AC, utilising 139 Premier Energies high-efficiency Mono PERC 550 WP, 144-cell solar panels, and 2 Sungrow String Inverters.
The project was implemented by Godrej Electricals & Electronics, a division of M/s Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd, Mumbai, with implementation partners M/s Innovative Energy Solutions, Ujjain. The project was completed in just 35 days and showcases the property’s unwavering commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy sources.
This visionary solar plant is expected to generate nearly 60% of the property’s energy consumption. It also fulfils the energy requirements of two electric cars, which means hotel guests have a zero-emission transfer to the hotel. By doing so, The Ahilya Fort Heritage Hotel is estimated to mitigate approximately 79,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
But it doesn’t stop there. The Ahilya Fort Heritage Hotel invested in combating river water pollution, a pressing concern globally. The hotel property is a waste-water free property, which means that 100% of the water consumed at the hotel is treated in a DEWATs bio-treatment plant, and processed grey water is reused in the hotel gardens or to recharge local groundwater levels. These steps ensure no wastewater flows to the sacred Narmada River.
