K-Water, South Korea's state water resources company, said Friday
that it has begun to raise funds worth about 100 billion won (US$84
million) to build the world's largest floating power-generating
facilities.
The energy company said it plans to sign deals with
institutional investors by March next year to build and manage the
40-megawatt solar power facilities inside Hapcheon Dam in Hapcheon,
about 350 kilometers south of Seoul.
The company is set to
build a 10-megawatt solar power facility and additional 30-megawatt
facility by December 2017 and December 2018, respectively, said company
spokesman Kim Tai-kwang.
He said the 40-megawatt solar power
facilities could generate enough power to provide energy for about
14,000 households near the dam.
Currently, South Korea runs 19 floating solar facilities that can generate about 18 megawatt-hour of electricity.
South Korea has been seeking to go green by slashing carbon emissions
in recent years, switching to renewable energy sources and ending its
heavy reliance on fossil fuels.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
