NHPC aims to deploy floating solar technology in India

This is in partnership with Norwegian firm M/s Ocean Sun.

India’s National Hydropower Electric Corporation (NHPC) entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Norway-based tech provider M/s Ocean Sun for the adoption of floating solar power.

Under the MoU, NHPC and Ocean Sun will study areas of cooperation to demonstrate Ocean Sun’s floating solar technology which will be deployed at sites identified by the Indian firm.

The MoU was signed by NHPC Executive Director (Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen) Shri V.R. Shrivastava and Ocean Sun CEO Kristian Tørvold.
