Indian power producer ReNew Power has been chosen to complete a 3 MW floating photovoltaic (PV) system in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The project is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Floating PV technology is gaining momentum in Asia, and it is thought covering 10% to 15% of India's water bodies with solar panels could generate 300 GW, and covering one-third could create 700 GW.
