A delegation from the @SwissEmbassyIND visited the completed Floating Solar Power Plant on the Periyakulam Lake in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The floating solar plant was implemented by @CbeCorp and co-financed by the @SwissDevCoop, Embassy of Switzerland to India, through the @CapaCITIESIndia Phase II, together with the Government of #TamilNadu’s Namakku Naame Thittam scheme. @ICLEISouthAsia is an implementing partner under the #CapaCITIES Project.
