UBON RATCHATHANI, Thailand, April 20 (Reuters) - Thailand is close to completing one the world s biggest floating hydro-solar hybrid projects on the surface of a dam, a step toward boosting renewable energy production after years of criticism for reliance on fossil fuels.
About 144,417 solar panels are being installed on a reservoir in the northeast province of Ubon Ratchathani, where workers are completing the last of seven solar farms covering 300 acres (121 hectares) of water.
The state-run Electricity Generation Authority of Thailand (EGAT) is touting the pilot project as one of the world s largest hybrid hydro-solar power ventures and aims to replicate it at eight more dams over the next 16 years.
