Date:2024-08-26
The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has kicked off a tender for the design, procurement, manufacturing, supply, delivery, construction, installation and commissioning of a hydro-floating solar hybrid project.
The solar facility will be built at Srinagarind Dam, located in the Kanchanaburi province of western Thailand. The dam currently houses a hydroelectric power station with a power generation capacity of 720 MW.

The project, which is being funded by EGAT, must comprise a 182 MW solar power plant, a floating PV system, an anchoring and mooring system, a 33 kV electrical system and transmission lines and a control and monitoring system, as well as related software.
The authority is planning to develop 16 floating solar projects across nine of its dams with a total installed capacity of 2,725 MW.
