Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has issued an expression of interest (EOI) for the development of 10GW of floating solar across India.

The plan is for this capacity to be set up in a phased manner over the next three years on a build, own and operate basis.

Floating solar plant developers selected through the tender will be given “assured off-take of solar power generated from the projects through long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA),” said the EOI. Power will be procured by SECI or authorised agencies and offered to various utilities.

SECI noted that India faces physical and legal hurdles regarding land acquisition when setting up ground-mount solar projects, so it intends to use the large availability of water areas on major reservoirs for floating PV to bypass this land issue. Several pilots have already been installed, including the largest so far in the country – a 500kW floating project in Kerala.
