Dak Lak Province in Vietnam has approved a large floating solar power project. The plant will have a designed capacity of 452 MW and will cost VND9.149 trillion (about US$355 million).

The project will cover about 526 hectares. Around 523 hectares of the Ea Sup Thuong Reservoir water surface will hold the floating solar panels.

The plant will use floating solar panels and inverters. It will have a 35‑kV floating cable system, integrated RMU step‑up substations, and a 35/220‑kV step‑up transformer station. An operations and management centre, an energy‑storage battery system, and a six‑kilometre 220‑kV transmission line will also be built.

Construction and commissioning are expected to take 18 months. The plant must start commercial operation by the fourth quarter of 2028. Four companies are approved as investors: IPC Engineering and Construction JSC, Tay Nguyen Infrastructure Construction and Development JSC, SD Vietnam Construction Investment JSC, and Ea Sup Investment JSC.
