Sarawak Energy Bhd (SEB) has awarded its first large-scale floating solar farm project to China’s Trina Solar Co Ltd. In addition to building the floating 190 hectares solar plant, Trina will upgrade the high-voltage substation and carry out operations and maintenance services for the project. Expected to be completed by the end of 2024, the floating 50-megawatt solar farm will use N-type bi-facial high efficiency photovoltaic modules alongside string inverters to improve system performance efficiency and reduce the project’s levelised cost of electricity.
