Goa Invites EoI to Set Up Floating Solar Plants on Four Dams

• The State Government of Goa has actually determined to set up a floating solar energy plant on 4 dams in the state: Selaulim, Amthanem, Anjunem and also Chapoli dams.

The govt has actually welcomed expression of rate of interest (EoI) for choice of solar energy developer for setting up of a grid attached floating solar energy plant at these websites.

The State Government of Goa has actually decided to set up a floating solar energy plant on 4 dams in the state and also has welcomed expression of rate of interest (EoI) for choice of solar power designer for establishing of a grid linked floating solar energy plant at these sites.

The solar energy plants will certainly be set up on Selaulim, Amthanem, Anjunem and also Chapoli dams on a style, developed, money and also run version for a duration of 25 years. The last day to submit the EoI is October 25.

According to media reports, a senior officer stated that the purposes of the EoI consists of solar power generation, conservation of water because of much less evaporation, production of employment to the rural neighborhood as well as higher solar generation because of maintained temperature level of solar panels.

Because the solar energy project will certainly be mounted on the water surface area, the other land surfaces for the exact same capability of the project can be utilised for various other purposes and also land cost is not applicable.

The elderly officer stated that the significant feature of the EoI is that the department of new and renewable resource (DNRE) will certainly assist in giving the called for location in all the 4 websites from the water sources division (WRD) for installation of floating solar energy plant projects.

The extent of the designer will consist of the building and construction of grid linked floating solar power plants on the water surface available in all 4 dams with procedure and maintenance and the possible emptying of the power as well as its transmission setup as much as the local substation.

The elderly policeman claimed that the bidders will be asked to send their principle note and feasibility report in addition to technological and monetary expediency of the idea and also the prospective buyer's technical and also financial capacity.

The senior officer stated that the main extent of the prospective buyer is to evaluate the capacity of the grid attached floating solar energy plant ability at each place. The range of the work also includes layout, design, manufacture, supply, erection, screening as well as appointing of the plants with procedure as well as maintenance as well as the emptying of the power and also its transmission up to the nearby substation.

Last month, Goa Energy Development Agency (GEDA) invited tenders for layout, supply, setup, testing and commissioning of a solar energy plant, consisting of procedure as well as maintenance for five years. The 40 kWp grid-connected solar rooftop power plant will be set up on the 3rd flooring of the secretariat building at a price of Rs 30 lakh.
