Renewables - Could floating solar farms survive out at sea?

Graham Watson

11th January 2023

Share this content:

Innovation in renewable energy is featured here with engineers looking at whether floating solar farms are feasible. If they are, then it would seem to be a logical solution to providing power for island nations such as Indonesia. Indonesia is a nation of more than 10,000 islands, so supplying the whole country with electricity is a huge challenge

A similar project has been established in Singapore.
