Explained: Why Telangana’s floating solar plant is green
Besides aiding water conservation by reducing the evaporation rate, the Rs 423-crore plant also helps to avoid coal consumption of 1,65,000 tons and carbon dioxide emissions of 2,10,000 tons per year.
India’s largest floating solar plant is now fully operational at Ramagundam in Telangana’s Peddapalli district. The 100-megawatt (MW) floating solar power photovoltaic project was commissioned by the National Thermal Power Corporation, the country’s foremost public-sector power generator. As of July 1, following the commissioning of the plant, the total commercial operation of floating solar capacity in the southern region has risen to 217 MW, according to the NTPC.
