History edit
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).[1] Reportedly, this plan will be the largest floating solar power generation facility globally.[2]
In August 2023, the first part of the project started with solar panels that generate 0.5MW and 0.4MW of power. Currently, a capacity of 278 MW has been activated.[3]
As of November 2023, the park consists of the following operators: AMP Energy (100 MW), NHPC (100 MW), and SJVN (90 MW).[4]
