THE Pahtaw Reservoir floating solar system, located in Pahtaw village, Kyunsu township, Taninthayi Region, is now supplying electricity.

The Pahtaw Reservoir floating solar system is installed with 6,384 solar panels on seven acres of water surface that can supply 3.77 megawatts.

The project is cooperated by the Pyae Phyo Tun International Company Limited and Myanmar Solar Power Trading Company Limited with a public-private partnership system, and the project is expected to be completed entirely in May 2024.

Twelve inverters of 255 kilowatts distribute the 3.77 megawatts of solar energy generated from the project. If the floating solar system is implemented in water reservoirs, it will reduce the evaporation of water in the reservoir and will not affect the supply of agricultural water. Besides, it is renewable energy and can reduce the damage to the environment.
