台湾西海岸沖に設置された浮体式太陽光発電施設が、近隣で同規模の陸上型プロジェクトと比較して、より多くの電力を生成し、高い収益を上げていることが明らかになった。研究者が両システムを比較したところ、さらなる課題があるにもかかわらず、洋上版に明確な利点があることがわかった。
Chenya Energy社は、2020年から2021年にかけて、保護された湾内の1.8平方キロメートルの海域に181メガワットの浮体式太陽光発電所を完成させた。台湾電力公司（Taiwan Power Company）はその前年に1.4平方キロメートルの土地で100メガワットの陸上プロジェクトを建設しており、発電能力の違いを調整した上で直接比較することが可能となった。
