At present, India has about 2,000 natural lakes and more than 65,000 artificial lakes. In order to solve the energy shortage problem and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, India is making great efforts to develop solar power plants. The vast lake surface is a potential opportunity for the development of solar photovoltaic power plants.
Indian entrepreneurs are gradually entering the field, relying on overseas experience, using subsidies from the central and local governments to establish floating solar power plants and developing rich renewable energy sources.
Uma Rajarathnam, vice president of Enzen Global Solutions, said in an interview with India's IANS News Agency: “The potential for developing floating solar PV power plants in India is very high. Data released by the Indian Water Authority shows that there are 2164 natural lakes and 65,253 artificial lakes in India.â€
On November 15, Enzen Global Solutions signed a memorandum of understanding with the French company Ciel-et-Terre to build floating solar power plants in several states in India with a total installed capacity of 50MW.
From November 14th to 18th, a delegation of European companies from the 19th visited India and introduced their advantages in water use, bioenergy extraction, floating solar photovoltaic power generation systems and automatic waste recycling, and discussed with partners.
The visit was arranged by the European Business and Technology Centre, which expects the scale of India’s environmentally friendly technology to reach US$10 billion with an annual growth rate of 15%.
Rajarathnam stated that Enzen Global Solutions and Ciel-et-Terre are developing specific details, including the number of floating-type power stations and their construction sites.
In March of this year, Tata Power of India announced that it will cooperate with Australian solar company Sunengy to develop the first floating solar power station in India.
Rajarathnam stated: “Most artificial lakes on the Indian Peninsula are designed to store rainwater. The total surface area of ​​the lakes in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh exceeds 19960 km2, if only 1% of the lake area is used. A total of 3260 MW solar power systems can be installed."
In addition to the three states mentioned above, Rajasthan and Gujarat also have large areas of water, and the solar radiation levels in these two states are particularly high, which is very suitable for the development of floating solar power plants.
The cost of power generation for floating solar power plants is comparable to that of ground-based solar power plants. At present, the cost of solar power generation is higher than the cost of traditional hydropower and thermal power plants. (Translation: Owen)
