    .

    Thames Water is in charge of the project, and these floating solar arrays are not meant to contribute
    to the UK's energy needs.
    The company plans to produce 1/3 of its own energy by 2020, and its partners are Ennoviga Solar and Lightsource Renewable Energy
    .

    In 2014/2015, Thames Water produced 12.
    5% of its own energy and currently has solar panels deployed at 41 sites, covering approximately 1/10
    of the reservoir (128.
    3 hectares in total).
    In total, the floating solar array contains more than 23,000 photovoltaic panels, more than 61,000 floating racks
    and 177 anchor points.
