Govt moots 100 MW floating solar power plant in PABR

Uravakonda (Anantapur): The State government is coming up with a novel idea of establishing a 100 MW floating solar power plant in the PABR Reservoir. 
 
Details are being worked out in this regard. The idea not only saves space but also reduces water evaporation losses as the solar floats give a cover to the water in the reservoir from Sun. 
 
New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation (NREDCAP) is also in the process of meeting its target to complete 1,000 mega watts of wind power generation by March 31, 2017. Already 400 megawatts of wind power generation has been commissioned and another 600 megawatts are in the execution stage and expected to be commissioned by March 2017. Thehansindia
