WHA Utilities and Power Plc has officially opened a solar carpark at SAIC Motor-CP Company’s MG Manufacturing Plant in WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 2.
It covers 31,000 square metres of solar rooftop space.
Commercial operations started in early October with a capacity of 4.88 megawatts, making it Thailand’s largest solar carpark project to date.
Niphon Bundechanan, chief executive officer of WHA Utilities and Power Plc, said that the project is considered the largest solar carpark in Thailand, with 20 years of service duration, starting early October.
Zhang Haibo, president of SAIC Motor-CP Co Ltd and MG Sales (Thailand) Co Ltd, as a manufacturer and distributor of MG cars in Thailand, explained: “We decided to install solar to offset CO2 emissions to reduce global warming. With the help of WHA Utilities and Power, we will be able to reduce our costs more than the 20-year period, while protecting the environment.”
Niphon is confident that the company will achieve its target of securing solar rooftop installation contracts with a combined capacity of 50MW this year. This will make the company’s energy-generating capacity, in terms of shareholding equity, reach 592MW by the end of this year.
