Minister for Power K. Krishnankutty on Wednesday virtually inaugurated a 22-MW floating solar power project at the National Thermal Power Corporation's (NTPC) Kayamkulam unit.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Krishnankutty said the feasibility of setting up hydroelectric projects in the State by NTPC like the one in Himachal Pradesh would be explored. He said the possibility of LNG firing would be explored instead of naphtha at the NTPC Kayamkulam plant.
Officials said the NTPC was planning to become a 130-GW company by 2032. It plans to augment its renewable energy portfolio to 60-GW by 2032.
