Solar Floating PV Plants News

Masdar has signed a PPA with PLN, the state electricity company in Indonesia, for the first floating solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in the country.

SECI has issued an RfS for the selection of SPDs for setting up of 4 MW floating solar project with a 2 MW/1MWh BESS at the Kalpong Dam in North Andaman.

Indian NTPC Limited has launched an action for 870-kilowatt rooftop photovoltaic station. The system will be installed at the company’s second stage of TG Hall in Vindhyachal.

The final version of the PPA is expected to come in force in Q1, while Quadran Seychelles is slated to start constructing the large-scale floating photovoltaic plant in Q2 of the new year.

According to reports, a 4MW floating solar (FPV) plant is expected to get the green light on Mahe, the main island of the Seychelles by the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Oil&Natural Gas Corp has issued an invitation to tender for development of the 5-megawatt photovoltaic system at its plant located in Hazira.

BHEL has tendered s for developing the complete floatation platform for the 22 MW floating solar plant at NTPC Kayamkulam in Kerala.

Southern Water has issued a request for information to source solar energy through bilateral power purchase agreements. The business is thinking about buying power from a blend of generation facilities.

Sungrow’s EPC branch has signed a contract for construction of Manikganj-based photovoltaic project.

ABB has partnered with Romande Energie to provide its own inverter solutions for one of the world's highest floating PV installations, which raises efficacy of DC generation by up to 30 percent, even in winter.

A math model, created by a Taiwanese scientific group, has shown that aquavoltaic installations can be a profitable alternative to on-ground power plants in the country with a shortage of land area. Even though floating solar promises bad influence on aquaculture, profit from power generation is likely to make up for this loss.

The Abu Dhabi-based clean energy group has entered into a formal agreement with an investment fund to develop 400 MW of PV capacity in Armenia, with a projected investment of up to $320 million.

Swedish state-owned utility Vattenfall is to build its first floating solar farm in the Netherlands, a country increasingly seeing floating solar appear on its doorstep.

A new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency released this week explains how the sun looks set to shine on solar energy systems over the coming decades, with a wealth of advancements and dropping prices that could boost adoption.

Romande Energie is currently creating a floating solar system high in the Alps. In spite of being exposed to unfavorable meteorological conditions, the plant is predicted to generate more power by half compared to lowland-installed solutions.
