Floating type photovoltaic 'popular' southeast Asia

Report from our correspondent energy institute of economic and financial analysis ( IEEFA) Released a new report says, floating pv is now becoming popular in southeast Asia, the project installed capacity is growing very quickly.

according to the report, before 2019, the association of south-east Asian nations (asean) within the scope of floating photovoltaic capacity is only 1 mw; And at present, the region's floating 51 mw photovoltaic capacity has been reached, and 858 mw of projects are under planning.

according to the report, solar portal, in fact, throughout the whole of Asia has led the world in the field of floating photovoltaic (pv). Data show that by the end of 2018, solar panels, only between China and Japan had reaches 1 floating photovoltaic installations. 3 gw. Southeast Asia after floating pv projects rarely, but last year, began to actively join floating photovoltaic development, more and more members of the association of southeast Asian nations in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and even the construction of offshore floating pv projects.

　　“ Facts have proven that floating pv projects can withstand strong wind, big waves and other harsh natural conditions of intervention. And, floating, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has to compete with coal. ” IEEFA said one of the authors of the report ElrikaHamdi, & other; At present, many equipment manufacturers also began to pilot construction of offshore floating pv projects. Asean countries of natural geography and population distribution, means floating photovoltaic (pv) in the region will have a lot of room to grow. ”

according to the report, in February last year, the Singapore CleantechSolar company built a 2. 8 megawatts of floating pv projects; In the same year in July, Singapore's national water supply companies PUB and floating of a 50 mw photovoltaic project bidding, solar portal, plans to be completed in 2021. Otherwise EGAT company in Thailand, also to a 55 in June last year. 5 mw of floating solicit pv projects, solar portal, and at the same time planning another 24 megawatts of installed programs. Vietnam DHD company also confirm a installed 47 last year. 5 mw of floating pv projects. PLN and Indonesia's state-owned company, at the beginning of this year, and the united Arab emirates company Masdar signed 145 megawatts of floating photovoltaic project construction contract.

report another JaneAhmed author pointed out that in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and other southeast Asian countries, the land resource is nervous investors floating photovoltaic (pv) project is an important reason. At the same time, the development of floating pv projects can use as much as possible the original transmission infrastructure in the region, to help reduce the development cost of power grid. “ Is not enough to only focus on power generation cost. Because the new power projects often means that the new transmission lines. In southeast Asia, the development of electric power project need priority to grid level solutions. ”

this paper statistics the September to today issued a total of 2. 85 gw pv power plant EPC and 1. 9 gw component bid opening information. Among them, the EPC project owner units is given priority to with soe/state, this also reflected from the side, in project bidding and parity, the state-owned enterprises have become the absolute main force. Specifically, photovoltaic (pv) grid, CGNPC in development of 410 mw, 603 mw, guangzhou energy saving 220 mw, 345 mw, jin can group the people vote for 200 mw, 190 mw hubei energy group, huaneng power 180 mw
