MAY 20238The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Ltd. would start a feasibility study for a 130-MW floating solar power project on Dumbur Lake in Tripura's Gomati district. With the government working hard to grow renewable energy significantly, the northeastern state has raised solar power energy from 4.07 MW to 7.21 MW during the last five years. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the NTPC and the Tripura Renewable Energy Development Agency (TREDA) to carry out the feasibility assessment for the floating power plant.At Ramagundam in Telangana, NTPC runs a 100 MW floating solar power project. According to TREDA Joint Director Debabrata Sukladas, the NTPC would assess the extent of the waterbody that must be taken up for the project, identification of nearby transfer stations, and forest clearance for constructing the state's first renewable energy plant as part of the study. NTPC should finish the feasibility study, which will cost Rs.450 crore, in a few months. "The state's goal of producing 200 MW of solar energy by 2030 depends on the projected 130-MW floating power plant," the statement continued. The average solar energy potential of the state is 2080 MW. The Tripura Power Generation Company, Tripura State Electricity Corporation (TSECL), and TREDA are all working hard to unlock the state's solar energy potential, according to Sukladas. Aprovider of renewable energy solutions named Vibrant Energy announced it has placed an order with Envision Energy for 149 megawatts (MW), or 45 wind turbines with 3.3 MW of capacity each.The delivery is anticipated to start in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023­2024. "We are pleased to announce our partnership with Envision Energy for our upcoming wind-solar hybrid project," stated Srinivasan Viswanathan, CEO of Vibrant Energy. Kane Xu, worldwide vice-president of Envision Energy and chairman of Envision Energy India, claimed that Envision Energy is both a builder of a new green energy system and an enabler of a new green industrial system."The business reached worldwide operational carbon neutrality in 2022. I think this partnership will have a big influence on the decarbonization of the regions," Xu continued. The Green Investment Group at Macquarie Asset Management includes Vibrant Energy among its portfolio companies. Currently, it is providing businesses with 2 GW of renewable energy solutions.
