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.

When I was in college in the 1970s, I recall hearing people say, “We’ll have solar energy when the Rockefellers own the sun.”
Nothing’s changed too much in half a century.
It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).
This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
He’s a physician and retired admiral.
If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.

I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature. These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”
I thought that was clever.
