CEA recognizes surface hydrokinetic turbine technology
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has officially recognized Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine (SHKT) technology under the hydropower category to promote innovation and alternative methods for achieving net-zero emissions. SHKT technology generates electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of flowing water without the need for large structures such as dams or weirs. This distinguishes it from conventional hydropower systems, making it more suitable for areas with minimal grid access. With a generation cost of Rs 2-3 per…
