The project utilizesInternational standard environmental and social management systemsUtilizationFloating photovoltaic technologyIt not only reduces evaporation from the water surface, but also enhances the power generation efficiency of the PV panels through the low temperature environment. The Saguling Reservoir was chosen as the site for the power plant because of its stable and extensive waters, and the construction footprint is less than 5% of the reservoir's total area, so it will not affect the reservoir's role as aHydropower generation and irrigationThe main function of the
