Ciel & Terre Taiwan and HEXA Renewables have completed the 192.3MWp final phases of a 440MWp floating solar project in Taiwan.

Larsen & Toubro has received a contract to build a 75MW floating solar plant on the Panchet Dam in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand.

Southeast Asia is expected to add 300MW of floating solar PV (FPV) capacity in early 2024, according to a report from research firm Rystad Energy.

The government of Sri Lanka has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Australian firm United Solar Group (USG) for a 700MW floating solar and storage project.

SolarPower Europe – the representative trade body for the European solar industry – has published its first Best Practice Guidelines document for the floating solar (FPV) market segment.

Extremely high population density and the necessity to use land for agriculture are the reasons for building FPV in Southeast Asian countries.

The Indonesian state utility PLN and UAE state-run renewables developer Masdar have inaugurated the 192MWp (145MWac) Cirata floating solar PV (FPV) plant in the West Java province of Indonesia.

From 2023-2025, investments in Southeast Asian renewables will exceed US$76 billion, and this investment amount will likely continue to rise. 

While still at a relatively early stage in its development, the US floating PV market is a key one for Sungrow FPV. PV Tech sat down with VP Lei Wang to gain his insights into the US and, more broadly, the global market.

Masdar and PLN Nusantara Power will expand the capacity of the 145MW Cirata floating solar project in Indonesia to up to 500MW.
