G8 Subsea to install 65MW floating solar in Ghana

It is targeted to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2023.

Singapore-based tech company G8 Subsea has been awarded a letter of intent by the Bui Power Authority Ghana for the installation of a 65-megawatt (MW) floating solar system at the Bui Hydro Dam facility.

In a statement, G8 Subsea, which has expertise in offshore and renewable energy projects, will install the GPM-65 Solar-Hydro System which will occupy around 350,000 square meters of water space at the Black Volta River near the hydro dam.

The system features an “advanced power management system with an optional energy storage system to integrate the power of solar power and hydropower generation.”

G8 said the system which is targeted to be commissioned by the third quarter of 2023, is an extension to the current 5MW system.

The company and local joint venture partner KW Renewables conducted a site assessment at the hydro dam facility for logistics and project preparation.

G8 has nearly three gigawatts of renewable energy and sub-sea transmission projects in Asia, particularly in Indonesia, South Korea, and India.
