WISE is carrying out a consultancy project for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to convert the Maharashtra Nature Park (MNP) at Dharavi into Mumbai's first Energy Park. The objectives of setting up the Energy Park are:
To demonstrate and re-establish the synergy between mankind and nature through the integrated approach of ecology, environment, and energy.
To expose and sensitise the younger generation on the existing issues of 'energy
crisis' and available renewable energy technologies.
To present working models of renewable energy systems to the society for
large-scale awareness and increasing acceptability.
To strengthen and expand the existing activities of the Environment and Nature Education Centre at MNP through the holistic approach of the Green Energy Park.
The project proposal has been submitted to the Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA), Pune, for its approval. About 75 per cent of the project cost will be borne by the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES), Government of India.
