As part of the Smart City project, New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) plans to become energy-neutral—generating as much power as it consumes—by March 2016. After setting up small-scale waste-to-energy plants in its jurisdiction, the civic agency is planning to set up a big plant that will generate about 100MW power in a day.  The civic agency will soon float a tender for the project that is likely to come up in south Delhi.  "Our plan is to become energy-neutral by 2016. We plan to set up a waste-to-energy project which will generate 96MW in a day (4MW per hour) from 170 metric tonnes of waste. This will help us achieve our target of 200MW-plus power per day. We plan to set up two such plants,'' said Jalaj Shrivastava, chairman, NDMC.
