Omkareshwar Floating Solar Power Park
History
Auction bids for the powerplant were around Rs 3.25 per unit energy by these operators: AMP Energy (100 MW), NHPC (100 MW), and SJVN (90 MW).
The 600 MW plant is being built on the Omakareshwar Dam's reservoir and the evacuating infrastructure is being provided by the state-owned Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL). Reportedly, this plan will be the largest floating solar power generation facility globally.
In August 2023, a capacity of 278 MW had been activated. The first part of the project started with solar panels that each generate 0.5MW and 0.4MW of power.
In April 2024, parts of it were damaged in a storm, likely due to insufficient anchoring.
