Why Floating Solar PV Plants?

• Along with all those benefits of Solar PV plants compared to coal-fired plants, as explained on the Solar page, below are additional benefits of floating solar PV plants.

• Reduction in CapEx, unlike land-based solar farms, floating solar doesn’t compete with agriculture or forest land, minimising displacement issues.

• Reduces water evaporation from reservoirs, helping water conservation in drought-prone areas.

• It can be designed to coexist with fisheries, benefiting local communities that are dependent on aquaculture. 

Why CBG?

• Bio CNG technology can deal with air pollution at 3 levels by curtailing methane emissions, warding off waste burning and phasing out fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

• 1 CBG site creates 20 full-time jobs and around 20 daily wage labours 

• Higher profitability compared to other energy proposals

• Highly automated plants that produce 24/7/ 365

• Scalability makes it possible to develop small, medium or ,large plants without losing the profitability of the business.

• The investment per MWh generated is lower than that of other energies and is recovered before the 5th year.

Why site setup in India?

• India is 5th largest economy in the world with one of the highest growth rates.

• India imports over 80% ($50 Billion) of its fuel which is mostly fossils and non-renewable.

• The waste/feed for CBG availability is in abundance and is in close proximity.

• This project is aligned with the critical energy security national policy of India.

• Long-term off-taker arrangements and a working framework are in place.
