Western Australia being such a big dry state would be ideal for floating solar farms.
With CWE/EMCs experience with companies like WaterCorp, Western Power, Horizon Power, Synergy, MakWater and ABB, these type of projects would be well within their capability as joint ventures.
"There are a number of benefits to floating solar plants, aka "floatovoltaics." Compared to mounted panels, floating systems are naturally cooled by the bodies of water they sit on, therefore boosting power production efficiency. Many floating PV developers point out that the floatovoltaics shade the water, which reduces water evaporation and slow algae blooms."
