The tender process for the floating solar project at West Kallada Mundakapadam will start after Onam.
Coming up on 360 acres of land, the largest floating solar project in the State is expected to contribute to the development of the panchayat. Regarding the rates, the decision is to reduce the tariff as much as possible and to use the government’s gap fund for the purchase electricity.
A meeting of National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) and Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB)officials will be held to finalise this. The NHPC and Tata Power Solar, which has undertaken the construction of the ₹300-crore project to generate 50 MW, had signed a contract regarding this.
