'''NTPC Haripad Floating Solar Power Plant''' is a floating [[photovoltaic power station]] in [[Haripad]], [[India]].

== History ==
The 92 MW floating solar power plant is constructed upon a number of reservoirs owned by the [[National Thermal Power Corporation]]'s [[Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant]]. The last phase of the plant went online in July 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |author=Staff Reporter |date=2022-07-30 |title=Prime Minister Narendra Modi launches floating solar power plant at NTPC-Haripad |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/prime-minister-narendra-modi-launches-floating-solar-power-plant-at-ntpc-kayamkulam/article65702800.ece |access-date=2023-11-17 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=30 July 2022 |title=PM Modi to launch Haripad NTPC floating solar plant on Saturday |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2022/jul/30/pm-modi-to-launch-kayamkulam-ntpc-floating-solar-plant-on-saturday-2482095.html |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> The plant supplies power to the [[Kerala State Electricity Board]], utilizing the 22 0kV GIS substation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gupta |first=Uma |date=25 June 2022 |title=NTPC's 92 MW NTPC Haripad floating solar project now fully operational |url=https://www.pv-magazine-india.com/2022/06/25/ntpcs-92-mw-kayamkulam-floating-solar-project-now-fully-operational/ |access-date=17 November 2023 |work=PV Magazine}}</ref>

The implementation of the project costs {{INRConvert|465|c}}. About 2.16 lakh solar panels will be installed on floaters. There was a delay in completing the project, which was initially planned to be operational in 2021. The delay occurred due to issues in importing solar cells from China, causing a setback in the project timeline. The contractors involved are Tata Power Solar for 70 MW and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd for 22 MW.<ref>{{Cite web |date=13 March 2022 |title=Floating solar plant to generate power soon in Haripad |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2022/mar/13/floating-solar-plant-to-generate-power-soon-inkayamkulam-2429517.html |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>
