Researchers from the University of Exeter assessed floating PV systems on Hong Kong's reservoirs. With 60% coverage, FPV could generate 4.8 TWh annually, servicing 36.5% of residential electricity needs.

At full coverage, it could supply 7.72 TWh, enough for 490,000 households. The study identified 18 reservoirs, focusing on energy production and hydrogen generation for transport. Annual hydrogen output varies from 180,502 kg to 36,310,221 kg, with levelized costs between $10.2/kg and $19.4/kg. The FPV systems alone yield an LCOE of $0.037/kWh, suggesting feasibility for hydrogen integration.
