Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) has issued a tender to hire consultancy services for the installation of 6.9 MW of floating solar power projects in Kochi, Kerala's rainwater harvesting pond and shore tank farm.

Under the tender, the consultant will be in charge of evaluating two floating solar power projects.

Another floating solar project with a capacity of 3.7 MWac/5.2 MWdc will be installed within the Kochi Refinery shore tank farm. The electricity generated would be used for captive consumption, utilising the Kerala State Electricity Board's banking facility.

The entire work must be completed within 9.5 months from the date of issue of the work order. The last day to submit the bids is November 22, 2022. The bids will be opened on the same day.
