The balloon is filled thrice in 24 hours. It is emptied twice during daytime. The sensor raises an alarm after baloon gets filled upto its capacity. Accordingly, the agency releases the stored gas towards the generator converting bio-gas into electricity. A capacity of 200-250 units of electricity is being used internally to operate the processing plant, machineries and streetlights on campus daily. Meanwhile, the AMC, MSEDCL and Banco will soon be signing an agreement to generate electricity and supply the power to the others including Kanchanwadi-STP of 165 MLD capacity."BoxxxxxxxxThe MSEDCL sources underlined that its head office in Mumbai deals into power purchase agreements. The Aurangabad Circle would just act as a channel to forward the required documents, site inspections and completing the formalities. After agreement, the MSEDCL will install a 'net electricity meter' apart from the existing ones. This will help to record the importing and exporting of power supply. The tally of import and export of power will be done at the end of year and then the deduction or adjustment of bill amount will be done as per norms. In between, MSEDCL will post regular energy bills to the consumer."
