DPR for 35 MW Floating Solar Power Plant
Project type
Feasibility Study of Large-scale Floating Solar Power Plant
Date
October 2023
Location
Umrong Reservoir, Assam
Highlights:
• Developed a comprehensive feasibility study covering site survey, environmental & social impacts, and technical design.
• Detailed evaluation of plant design, energy yield estimation, grid integration, and evacuation system.
• Financial analysis including cost per MW, debt-equity structuring, IRR, payback period, and tariff competitiveness.
• Recommendations aligned with India’s renewable energy goals and NEEPCO’s clean energy mission.
• Key Outcomes
• Capacity: 35.2 MW (AC) / 42.26 MWp (DC)
• Modules & Inverters: ~77,544 mono-crystalline panels (545 Wp each) with 8 inverters of 4.4 MWp capacity
• Annual Energy Generation: ~60.14 Million Units (MU) at P75 confidence level
• Plant Load Factor (PLF): ~16.25%
• Project Cost: ₹200.39 Crores (~₹4.74 Crore/MWp)
• Tariff Considered: ₹4.30 per unit (bankable)
• Payback Period: ~12 years
• Socio-Environmental Benefits: Water conservation through reduced evaporation, enhanced panel efficiency due to cooling effect, reduced carbon footprint, and job creation in the region
