Project Detail:
Preparing West Bengal Floating Solar Project.
Preparation of floating solar project. The GOWB has requested a project readiness financing (PRF) for the preparation of a floating solar power plant on the Bakreshwar dam reservoir. Although West Bengal has experience in solar PV development, this project will be the first of its kind and magnitude floating on a reservoir. The project will support the state in reaching their RPO targets and decarbonize the power sector. The scope of the PRF will specifically focus on environmental and social safeguards related to projects impacting water bodies. The Department of Power, Government of West Bengal will be the executing agency and West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited (WBPDCL) will be the implementing agency. The PRF will support WBPDCL to prepare the floating solar project and improve procurement readiness and compliance with ADB's safeguard policies for the ensuing project.
