PURWAKARTA, Indonesia -- Indonesian state utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara and Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy company Masdar on Thursday launched a 145-megawatt floating solar photovoltaic plant -- touted as the largest in Southeast Asia.
The $143 million project includes the installment of 340,000 solar panel units across 250 hectares at the Cirata dam in Purwakarta in West Java province. It is expected to generate 245 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year to be channeled into PLN's Jawa-Bali distribution line. The amount is equal to meeting the needs of 50,000 households.
