Indonesia has opened a floating solar plant in West Java, part of a plan to take advantage of its reservoirs to generate more renewable electricity.
President Joko Widodo was at a ceremony to mark opening of the Cirata plant — about 100 kilometers (62 miles) west of the capital Jakarta — on Thursday. Indonesia issued a rule in July allowing as much as 20% of reservoir areas to be used for renewable energy generation.
