Employees celebrate the completion of the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant.
POWERCHINA recently completed the installation of photovoltaic (PV) components for the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant in Indonesia, marking the start of the final debugging and grid connection phase.
The plant is the largest floating PV power plant in Southeast Asia and the first of its kind to be built by a Chinese company in Indonesia.
Located on the Cirata Reservoir in West Java province, about 130 kilometers from the capital Jakarta, the Cirata Floating PV Power Plant, with an installed capacity of 145MW, is expected to provide electricity for 50,000 households.
This will greatly alleviate the power shortage in the surrounding areas of West Java Island and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By promoting PV power generation, the project contributes to Indonesia's goal of increasing the share of renewable energy, reduces water evaporation and suppresses algae growth, which is beneficial to aquaculture and daily fishing activities. It plays an important and positive role in promoting local economic development, renewable energy development, and job creation.
POWERCHINA's efforts made possible the successful installation of photovoltaic components, which received high praise from all parties involved in the project. POWERCHINA has also received a letter of gratitude from the project's general contractor.
