Ramon, Isabela—Renewable energy company SN Aboitiz Power-Magat (SNAP-Magat) switched on Thursday its 200-kilowatt pilot floating solar project at the Magat reservoir here, the biggest in the country so far.
SNAP-Magat invested nearly P24 million for the facility, which is placed over a 2,500-square meter area over the Magat reservoir. The project supplies most of the internal household load of the Magat facility, such as the control room, lights and air-conditioning.

The circular floating solar installation—whose design is inspired by the Amazon water lily—is made up of 720 solar panels held in place by four mooring systems.
This is the first non-hydro renewable energy project of SNAP.
