Padang, W Sumatra, March 5 -- After previously building the 192 megawatt peak (MWp) Floating Solar Power Plant (PLTS) in the Cirata Reservoir, West Java, the government is currently seeking to construct another floating PLTS in Lake Singkarak, West Sumatra.

Through the state-owned electricity company PLN, the government has designed the PLTS in Lake Singkarak to have a capacity of 50-megawatt alternating current (MWAc), or equivalent to 76 MWp.

The development of the PLTS, which is projected to be the largest in Sumatra, will involve ACWA Power from Saudi Arabia and PT Indo Acwa Tenaga Singkarak.

Currently, the Lake Singkarak PLTS project is in the information dissemination phase, targeting those living around the lake.
