Generation and distribution using a Decentralized system: Solar PV at

Cricket Club of India (CCI)

Cricket Club of India (CCI) wished to opt for alternative power procurement within its own

premises under the Decentralized generation and distribution model.

CCI was already using dedicated DG sets at its stadium complex for being able to run day-

night matches.

RSM GC advised CCI to install hybrid decentralized solar power system

Installation of a rooftop based solar PV project of 27.6KW capacity was arrived at which would

give an attractive return of over 28% IRR and a payback period of less than 3 years.
