'''Omkareshwar Floating Solar Power Park''' is a floating [[photovoltaic power station]] at [[Omkareshwar Dam]], [[Khandwa]], [[India]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Auction bids for the [[floating solar]] power plant were around Rs 3.25 per unit energy<ref name=saur>{{cite web |title=Omkareshwar floating solar fallout |url=https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/mishap-at-omkareshwar-brings-forth-worries-on-large-floating-solar-projects |website=www.saurenergy.com |date=16 April 2024}}</ref> by the operators AMP Energy (100 MW), [[NHPC|NHDC]] (100 MW), and [[SJVN]] (90 MW).<ref>{{Cite web |title=RUMSL's 600 MW Omkareshwar Finally Has Winners- AMP Energy, NHDC nd SJVN |url=https://www.saurenergy.com/solar-energy-news/rumsls-600-mw-omkareshwar-finally-has-winners-amp-energy-nhdc-nd-sjvn |date=7 May 2022 |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=www.saurenergy.com}}</ref><br />

The 600 MW plant is being built on the Omakareshwar Dam's reservoir and the evacuating infrastructure is being provided by the state-owned Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Upcoming Projects |url=https://rumsl.mp.gov.in/projects-upcoming/ |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Ltd. |language=en-US |archive-date=2023-11-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231117030519/https://rumsl.mp.gov.in/projects-upcoming/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Reportedly, this plan will be the largest floating solar power generation facility globally.<ref>{{Cite web |last=ANI |date=2022-08-04 |title=Madhya Pradesh: World's largest floating solar power plant to be built on Narmada's Omkareshwar Dam |url=https://theprint.in/india/madhya-pradesh-worlds-largest-floating-solar-power-plant-to-be-built-on-narmadas-omkareshwar-dam/1068301/ |access-date=2023-11-17 |website=ThePrint |language=en-US}}</ref><br />

In August 2023, a capacity of 278 MW had been activated. The first part of the project started with solar panels that each generate 0.5MW and 0.4MW of power.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-08-21 |title=First block of 600MW floating solar plant phase-1 launched in Omkareshwar |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/first-block-of-600mw-floating-solar-plant-phase-1-launched-in-omkareshwar/articleshow/102885677.cms |access-date=2023-11-17 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><br />

In April 2024, parts of it were damaged in a storm, likely due to insufficient anchoring.<ref name=Omkareshwar>{{cite web |title=Storm damages world's biggest floating solar plant in Madhya Pradesh |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/indore/storm-damages-worlds-biggest-floating-solar-plant/articleshow/109231119.cms |website=The Times of India |date=15 April 2024}}</ref><ref name=saur/><br />

The project was commissioned by [[Rewa Ultra Mega Solar|Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited]], a joint venture between Madhya Pradesh UrjaVikas Nigam Limited and Solar Energy Corporation of India. The project was commissioned in August 2024 with 90 MW.<ref>{{Cite news |title=North India's largest floating solar project commissioned in Omkareshwar |url=https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41616079/nhpcs-unit-commissions-88-mw-omkareshwar-floating-solar-power-plant |work=Business Standard}}</ref><br />
