Omkareshwar Floating Solar Plant Begins Generating Electricity In Full Capacity

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Omkareshwar floating solar plant has started electricity generation with its full capacity of 278 megawatt from Wednesday-a day ahead of Diwali. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, sharing the information termed it as an important step towards green energy and self dependency in the field of energy.

Yadav stated that the Omkareshwar solar plant set up on Narmada river waters is a historical achievement for Madhya Pradesh. The state is a power surplus state which once (during Congress government led by Digvijay government) was plunged in darkness, said CM.

This has been possible through the tireless efforts of state government, said Yadav, adding that in future also such innovations will be done to make the MP a golden state. Notably, Omkareshwar plant is the biggest floating solar plant of Asia.
