India's Damodar to build 1,000MW solar plants in West Bengal canals

Canals speading over 2,494 kilometres.

This is the canal in Burdwan, in the Indian state of West Bengal, where India's Damodar Valley Corporation is planning to start the 15MW capacity canal-top solar photovoltaic plant .

The company has proposed to build a solar power plant that could generate up to 1,000MW renewable energy above a network of canals.

The company is planning to start the 15MW capacity canal-top solar photovoltaic plant at DVC canal in Burdwan, in the Indian state of West Bengal.

"Detailed project report has already been prepared by global consultant Price Waterhouse Coopers," a power ministry official told the Finance Chronicle.

The project's registration has also been initiated at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for getting clean development mechanism benefit.

Establishing solar power plant atop water canal cuts the need for land acquisition, and could produce 15% more power if the plant is set up on land, reports the Finance Chronicle.
