New Delhi: Andhra The state can now claim India’s biggest swim solar power plant after running the state NTPC commissioned a 25MW project on Reservoir at its Simhadri coal-fired power station in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
Floating Solar Power Project India’s quest to build 450 GW (GW) is seen as a game-changer Renewable energy Potential due to their inherent advantages over land projects that require large contiguous areas of non-agricultural, non-forest land. Floating solar minimizes temperature-related losses due to the cooling effect of the water on which they float, reducing the evaporation rate of water bodies and lower maintenance costs.
NTPC’s floating solar installation covers 75 acres of surface of Simhadri reservoir. It will generate electricity from over one lakh solar PV modules to light 7,000 homes. The project will save 46,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually and 1,364 million liters of water, which is enough to meet the requirement of 6,700 households in a year.
The floating solar plant is part of the coal-burning behemoth’s plan to add 60 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2032. It is also the first solar project to be set up under the 2018 ‘Resilience’ scheme of the Ministry of Power, in which generators have been allowed. Supply power from any of your sources depending on the efficiency of the plant to reduce the cost of DISCOMs.
NTPC is also building a 100 MW floating solar power plant at the reservoir of its Ramagundam Thermal Power Station in Tamil Nadu. The Green Energy Development Corporation of Odisha Limited has tied up with NHPC to explore, plan and develop commercially viable floating solar power projects with a total capacity of 500 MW in a phased manner on the reservoirs of the state.
