The state-owned utility Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has launched a tender for the development of a hydroelectric with floating solar photovoltaic hybrid project with a capacity of 24 MW.
The Ubol Ratana Dam Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project will be constructed in Ubol Ratana Dam in Khok Sung, Ubolratana District, about 50 km north of Khon Kaen in the Khon Kaen Province. The project will comprise an energy storage system with a high-quality battery to store excess power used to supplement the generation system when this hybrid system switches from using solar power to hydropower or vice versa. The project is expected to start commercial operation by 2023.
The deadline for the tender is March 9, 2022. More information can be accessed on our business opportunity page here.
