The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has invited bids for a 364 MW floating solar project at the Srinagarind Dam in western Thailand. The project, financed by EGAT’s Fund, will use crystalline silicon PV modules and include floating structures, anchoring systems, a 33 kV grid connection, transmission lines, and monitoring software.
The winning developer will be responsible for engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC), along with project management, training, civil works, and performance guarantees. The initiative is part of Thailand’s broader push to expand solar generation, which currently accounts for 3.4 GW (7 per cent of installed capacity), with an additional 200 MW under construction and 5.9 GW in the pipeline.
