On December 6, the first phase of the Thai NPS Green Lake 2x30 megawatt floating photovoltaic project, which was contracted as a joint venture by China Energy Engineering Group Jiangsu Institute and Anhui Power Construction Company No. 2, began generating electricity on the grid. The project is located in the 304 Industrial Park in Banchanburi Province, Thailand. It involves the construction of two floating photovoltaic systems, each with a capacity of 30 megawatts; the total installed capacity on the DC side is 60 megawatts. A string-connected design is used for these systems. Additionally, a 22-kilovolt step-up substation will be built, and electricity will be transmitted to the owner’s substation via 6 overhead lines. Upon completion, the project will become the largest floating photovoltaic project in Thailand at present, generating 95 million kWh of electricity per year. It will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 750,000 tons annually, bringing economic benefits of around 200 million Thai baht to the local area.
