Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday virtually dedicated to the nation the 92-MW floating solar power project set up at the National Thermal Power Corporation's (NTPC) Kayamkulam unit.
Mr. Modi launched the project while participating in the Grand Finale marking the culmination of ‘Ujjwal Bharat Ujjwal Bhavishya – Power @2047’, a programme organised to showcase the achievements in the power sector in the last eight years as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’.
Speaking at the function, Mr. Modi said India had resolved to create 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by the completion of 75 years of independence. "Today, we have come close to the goal. So far, about 170 GW capacity has been installed from non-fossil sources," the Prime Minister said, adding that India is among the top four-five countries in terms of installed solar capacity.
