MARINE GROWTH SOLAR PANELS
In 2026, EDP APAC deployed 13,312 solar panels on more than 30,000 pontoons in Singapore’s Strait of Johor. Today, marine growth has increased floater mass by nearly 43%, putting buoyancy and electrical connectors at risk- Earlier this year, Los Angeles made 8 trips to Encino Reservoir searching for one endangered bird; they found none, but 60 wildlife species emerged before a 10-acre solar project moved ahead
