Floating Photovoltaic Power Plants
A hybrid renewable energy facility that integrates solar power generation with marine engineering (shipbuilding and mooring technology). It involves installing photovoltaic modules on the water surfaces of dams and reservoirs, providing an eco-friendly and efficient energy solution.
(Applicable Areas) Includes dams regulated under the Dam Act, hydroelectric dams under the Electric Utility Act, reservoirs and freshwater lakes under the Agricultural and Fishing Villages Improvement Act, detention basins under the Mountainous Area Management Act, and inland seawalls under the Public Waters Management Act.
Key Benefits of Floating Photovoltaic Power Plants
Floating Photovoltaic Power Plants capacity grew 170 times from 2014-2019, with a forecasted increase of more than 2 times compared to land-based systems.
