DAEDE is actively seeking state funding for the project and will subsequently conduct environmental impact studies and seek approval from the Energy Regulatory Commission Office.

If approved, construction could commence around 2025. The floating solar farm initiative aligns with the national electricity development plan for 2018-2037 and contributes to the government’s objective of reducing carbon emissions and increasing the proportion of clean energy in the overall energy mix.
