A few days ago, Indonesian President Joko Widodo attended and delivered a speech at a full-capacity grid-connected power generation ceremony for the "Thousand Island Country" floating photovoltaic power generation project in Chilata, Indonesia.
It is reported that the project is the first floating photovoltaic project in Indonesia and the largest in Southeast Asia. It is also the deepest floating photovoltaic project in the world. It plays an important demonstration and leading role in the development of clean energy in Indonesia and even Southeast Asia.

Indonesia, located near the equator, is the largest archipelagic country in the world, rich in solar energy resources, with the inherent advantages of floating photovoltaic development. But at the same time, the maximum water depth of the project area is more than 100 meters, the underwater terrain is complex, the slope is steep, the rainy season is long, the silt layer is thick and there are primitive forests and other special environments, which bring great challenges to the construction, and the requirements for corrosion resistance, high waterproofness and high reliability of power products are extremely high.

It is reported that as the first large-scale centralized photovoltaic project in Indonesia, more than 8000 jobs were created directly and indirectly during the construction of Chilata photovoltaic project, and a number of local skilled workers were trained, which provided valuable experience demonstration for the follow-up photovoltaic project construction. After the completion of the project, it is estimated that the annual power generation will be 300,000 MWh, which can save 117,000 tons of standard coal per year for Indonesia and provide enough electricity for 50,000 households, which will greatly alleviate the tense situation of power supply around West Java Island, Indonesia, and help the Indonesian government achieve the goal of renewable energy proportion as soon as possible with photovoltaic power generation.
