Omkareshwar Floating Solar Power Park
AMP Energy
NHPC
SJVN
Omkareshwar Floating Solar Power Park is an under-construction floating photovoltaic power station at Omkareshwar Dam, Khandwa, India.
History
Auction bids for the powerplant were around Rs 3.25 per unit energy[1] by these operators: AMP Energy (100 MW), NHPC (100 MW), and SJVN (90 MW).[2]
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).[3] Reportedly, this plan will be the largest floating solar power generation facility globally.[4]
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.[5]
In April 2024, parts of it were damaged in a storm, likely due to insufficient anchoring.[6][1]
