What happened
A proposal was put forward for installing floating solar arrays at Ambuklao Dam in the Philippines. The dam has a reservoir area of about 7.5 square kilometers at an elevation of 752 meters above sea level. The report suggests this approach could help address slow solar deployment in the Philippines by utilizing existing hydropower reservoirs.

Why it matters
The proposal aims to increase solar power deployment by using existing water bodies, which could reduce conflict compared to installing panels on farmland or open land. Ambuklao Dam is already part of the power system and is operated within the Philippines.
