Ashis Parida January 5, 2021The world’s largest floating 600 MW solar strength to be constructed at Omkareshwar dam on Narmada river in Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh will begin powering up by yr 2022-23.
The predicted funding in this venture stands at Rs 3,000 crore, said an professional launch quoting the state’s new and renewable electricity minister Hardeep Singh Dang on Tuesday.
The International Finance Corporation, World Bank and Power Grid have granted in-precept consent for providing useful resource for the said mission development.
The primary feasibility look at of the assignment has been completed in collaboration with the World Bank. The task is possibly to start power generation by yr 2022-23, the minister said. Dang stated that the paintings of transmission line path survey will begin from the assignment region to Khandwa sub-station by electricity grid this month. Tender for the observe of environmental and social effect of the venture vicinity is likewise being issued.
Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company has agreed to buy four hundred MW electricity from the mission, he said.
The venture may have floating sun panels of 600 MW strength technology capacity within the backwaters of Omkareshwar dam. It is estimated that during 2 years, the undertaking will begin providing reasonably-priced and good electricity.
Electricity may be produced in about 2000-hectare water place by installing solar panels in the dam. Solar panels will float on the floor of the water in the reservoir, the launch stated. When the water stage of the dam is low, it’ll automatically regulate upwards and downwards. Strong waves and floods can have no effect on them. The sun’s rays will continue to supply electricity, it added.
