China Gezhouba Group has started construction of a 60 MW floating solar power project in Indonesia. The project is expected to deliver 129 GWh annually when completed.

The project is the first to start construction under Indonesia’s new electricity development plan (2025-2034).

The project is located on the Saguling Reservoir in Bandung, West Java Province, utilising solar panels installed on floating structures on the water surface. The project will include a 60 MW floating solar farm, a 150 kV booster station, an 8.5 km 150 kV double-circuit transmission line, and a 150 kV switching station.

China Gezhouba said that floating solar power plants conserves land resources, helps reduce water evaporation, suppresses algae growth, and improves power generation efficiency.
