JAKARTA: Indonesia and Singapore will begin the joint development of a floating solar farm in Batam in 2024 with a goal of generating around two gigawatts of electricity that will be transported to the Republic via undersea cables.

Should the timeline proceed on schedule, Batam will be the first location in Indonesia to have a major commercial photovoltaic (PV) plant operating on a large scale.
