BHEL commissions India’s Largest Floating Solar PV plant

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has successfully commissioned India’s largest floating Solar PV plant rated at 100 MW at NTPC Ramagundam in Telangana. The plant is installed across the natural raw water reservoir, saving valuable land resources, and also conserves water by reducing evaporation.

With innovatively engineered layouts and arrangements for the solar PV modules, electricals

and floaters, the plant will ensure that the aquatic ecosystem is maintained while producing clean power. All major components of the solar plant – viz. solar PV modules, floaters, bio-degradable natural ester oil filled inverter-duty transformers, switchgear, SCADA and cables are indigenous, contributing to the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ mission.
