The Kerala State Pollution Control Board has, through a Circular dated 10th November 2020, notified the distance criteria for multiple DG sets as specified below:
“The minimum distance from all the DG sets to the nearest residence/institution shall not be less than √(kVA/2). where kVA (kilo volt ampere) is the value of the highest capacity DG set”.
The above distance criteria has been finalized considering the general need to minimize the number of diesel generators as they contribute to air and noise pollution and comes into effect immediately.
