BANGKOK, Thailand, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TotalEnergies ENEOS has successfully completed the installation of a 1.8 megawatt-peak (MWp) floating solar photovoltaic (PV) system project in Thailand with S. Kijchai Enterprise, a Thailand-based manufacturer of wood-based panels. This is the second PV system that TotalEnergies ENEOS has installed for the company within 4 years and the first floating solar PV system for TotalEnergies ENEOS in Asia Pacific.
With over 3,000 modules installed, the solar PV system generates approximately 2,650 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. This results in a reduction in the company’s overall carbon footprint by approximately 1,125 tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to planting around 16,800 trees.
Under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), TotalEnergies ENEOS fully funded, installed, and will operate the solar system for the next 12 years. With no upfront investment required, S. Kijchai Enterprise will only pay for the cost of electricity generated during the tenure, leading to significant cost savings for the company.
“At S. Kijchai Enterprise, we are thrilled to complete our second solar project in collaboration with TotalEnergies ENEOS. This floating solar system underscores our commitment to sustainability and demonstrates our ability to harness clean energy solutions. By generating approximately 2,650 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, we are not only achieving cost savings but also making a significant impact on our carbon footprint. This project is a testament to our dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship” shared Harnsiri Sangwongkit, Senior Vice President of S. Kijchai Enterprise in Thailand.
“We are honored by the trust S. Kijchai Enterprise has placed in us to assist them on their decarbonization journey. Achieving this milestone, following the success of the first rooftop solar project, exemplifies our shared commitment to utilizing clean energy solutions for a sustainable future. The completion of this floating solar system brings S. Kijchai Enterprise one step closer to achieving their sustainability goals, while providing additional cost savings. We are committed to continue leveraging on our extensive expertise and innovative solutions to support more industrial client in their efforts to decarbonize,” said Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia.
