ABB has installed a distribution solution to support the new 250 ha floating solar power plant located in the Cirata Reservoir, in West Java, Indonesia.
One of a growing number of floating solar installations worldwide that are building on existing hydropower plants, the Cirata project is capable of delivering energy to 50,000 Indonesia homes, says the company.
The Cirata plant project is a collaboration between the Indonesian government, through PT PLN Nusantara Power, and Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy group Masdar. Working in collaboration with on-site engineers, ABB installed, tested and commissioned medium-voltage primary air-insulated switchgear at Phase 1 of the project, which has a capacity of 192 MWp.
Its anchoring and mooring reaches depths of 100 m in the Cirata Dam.
“We are proud to be part of this project, which is not only strategically important for Indonesia but also sets an example for other global economies that are looking to bolster their decarbonization plans with floating solar technology,” says ABB’s Ken Yap.
The floating solar power plant was recently inaugurated by the Indonesian President, Joko Widodo.

Evaluating California and its Governor
Hmm. He’s the governor of the most populous state in the country, whose revenues, if it were a country, would make it the fourth largest economy on Earth. His state ranks in the top five in terms of colleges and universities. We’re wealthy, well-educated, and extremely productive.
It’s true that he’s not a Trump supporter, but California (and the rest of the world) generally regards the current U.S. president as a criminal sociopath.
Yes, that infuriates folks who are poor, ignorant, racist, and disease-ridden, but generally speaking, it doesn’t bother Californians.

Fixing America
Improving our broken, pathetic educational system is important, but it’s only a part of the solution. Trump’s support is based on the fact that a) most rich people are selfish pigs, and b) most white poor people are hateful racists.
Decency is not taught directly in school (though it’s true that reading the world’s great books goes a long way to creating enlightened minds).

The “Dismantling” of America and Its People
Here’s a short video from actor Richard Gere that speaks a few concise words to Americans.
