Bishop Abraham Memorial College

B. A. M. College has been a pioneer in utilizing renewable energy and has been in the forefront of energy and water conservation.

At B. A. M. College we have been very proactive in conserving energy in every area of our operation. We utilize Solar PV, Solar Thermal and Bio-gas renewable energy sources. Our offices, IT Systems, Computer Labs, and all computers in various departments utilize reliable electrical power from our solar plants with energy storage. On days with adequate solar irradiance all these loads run directly on solar energy reducing our consumption from the grid.

We use many ways to reduce the energy consumption including campus wide use of energy efficient LED lamps. Currently we are progressing with implementing a Microgrid with solar PV, Energy Storage, Utility, and Diesel generator as energy sources to provide interruption free electric power.

We conserve water with rainwater harvesting. Water collected from the roofs of our buildings are stored in purpose-built rainwater storage tanks. Currently we have capacity to store over 4 lakh litres of water.
