EDF Renewables has started construction of its first floating solar project, a 20MW installation co-located with the Lazer hydroelectric plant in south-eastern France.
Hydropower plants across Africa could double their capacity if just 1% of their reservoirs are used to install floating solar projects, new research suggests.
Indian state-run utility NTPC has issued a tender for 15MW of floating solar at its hydroelectric power station Koldam in the mountainous, northern state of Himachal Preadesh.
Indian state-run power firm National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) plans to build another 150MW of solar projects in partnership with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
