NTPC hands over 1st ash-based ‘eco-house' to Bilaspur resident
Raipur: NTPC ceremonially handed over its first ash-based "Eco-house" to Krishna Yadav, a resident of Sipat in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh, on Tuesday. The event marks the beginning of a nationwide initiative aimed at providing affordable, eco-friendly housing solutions to rural communities. The Eco-house, developed using 80% ash and ash-based products sourced from NTPC power plants, embodies NTPC's commitment to zero-carbon emissions and sustainable development. The project follows a highly positive reception at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2024 held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, where the Eco-house was showcased for the first time, said an NTPC spokesperson. At the core of this innovation are interlocking wall blocks made from ash that require no traditional construction materials such as sand, cement, steel, mortar, plaster, or putty. These blocks ensure superior structural strength while significantly reducing both construction time and cost. NTPC officials highlighted that the Eco-house emits approximately 75% less carbon compared to conventionally built homes. Moreover, the modular nature of the design allows the house to be dismantled and reassembled with minimal damage, offering residents future flexibility in relocation or structural adjustments.

Odisha to avail funding from Centre for battery energy storage projects
BHUBANESWAR: The state government has conveyed its willingness to the Ministry of Power to implement the allocated capacity of battery energy storage system (BESS) under the viability gap funding (VGF) scheme to enhance its grid stability. This is in response to a recent communication from the New and Renewable Energy division of the ministry allocating 500 megawatt hour (MWh) to Odisha out of the total allocation of 16,500 MWh to 15 states to ensure grid integration of renewable energy (RE) and reliable electricity supply. Acknowledging the importance of BESS, GRIDCO in its response to the ministry said, 'The state is committed to accelerating the development of RE and associated infrastructure in line with national priorities and is keen to support the initiative.' GRIDCO being the nodal agency of the state government for RE projects has identified 10 locations for installation of the battery energy storage system. However, in the first phase BESS will be set up in four grid sub-stations under VGF scheme supported through the power system development fund (PSDF), sources said.
