Zairil Khir Johari says this is a viable alternative given Penang's land constraints and the high cost of developing ground-mounted solar farms.
State infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said areas such as the Teluk Bahang and Mengkuang dams were potential locations for the floating solar farms. GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government plans to develop floating solar project s in line with its efforts to achieve a target of 10% renewable energy by 2030.
“Dams are most suitable for a floating solar project in terms of area and water stability, unlike the sea where there are unique challenges and even the panel installation methods are different. “However, many matters need to be examined first, considering that the dams are sources of drinking water supply and are under the management of the Penang Water Supply Corporation.
