Description
Description | India has approved a ₹5,500 crore ($660 million) scheme to develop floating solar power projects combined with battery energy storage systems (BESS). The initiative aims to save land by installing solar panels on water bodies and to enhance energy security. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is working on policies to support floating solar development, targeting states with ample water but limited land such as Odisha, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. The potential for floating solar in India is estimated to be over 200 GW. |
