Solar Power Plant to Float at KSEB

The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is preparing for a 500KW floating Solar Grid Bilateral Photovoltaic project in the Banasurasagar dam in Wayanad.

The Rs.10-crore pilot undertaking will be actualized by Adtech Systems Ltd. a Thiruvananthapuram-based organization which has specialized backing from Vatsaa Energy Pvt. Ltd. (VEPL), a youthful start-up in Wayanad that had attempted to evolve the innovation.
