In, a statement, EGAT said the power generated from the combined solar and hydro facilities in Kanchanaburi Province will ensure the stability and reduce fluctuations of renewable energy, adding that this will support the country’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero emissions by 2065.

The deadline for the purchase of the bidding documents will end on 3 July.

This is EGAT’s third hybrid hydro-floating solar, following the 45 MW project at Sirindhorm Dam in Ubon Ratchathani Province and the 24 MW hybrid facility at Ubol Ratana Dam in Khon Kaen Province.

EGAT aims to expand the project at its nine dams with a total capacity of 2,725 MW.
