Construction starts on floating solar plant at South Korea’s Imha Dam
Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) has celebrated the groundbreaking of the Imha Dam Floating Solar Photovoltaic Energy Cluster Project. The multi-purpose Imha Dam is an embankment dam on the Banbyeoncheon River in Gyeongsangbuk-do province, South Korea. The purpose of the dam is flood control, water supply and hydroelectric power generation at a 50 MW station. The solar project’s
EGAT progresses work on hydro-floating solar hybrid project at Srinagarind Dam
The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is accelerating work on its third hydro-floating solar hybrid project, at Srinagarind Dam in Kanchanaburi Province, to generate clean energy and support the goal of Carbon Neutrality. Bidding documents are now available for purchase, until July 3, and bids will be opened on Aug. 14. With a capacity of 140 MW, the project
Research finds some countries could meet total electricity needs from floating solar
Floating solar photovoltaic panels could supply all the electricity needs of some countries, research from Bangor and Lancaster universities and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology has shown. The study aimed to calculate the global potential for deploying floating solar arrays. The researchers calculated the daily electrical output for floating photovoltaics (FPV) on nearly 68,000 lakes and reservoirs around
