Japan-based Shizen Energy Inc., dealing in building, financing and managing renewable energy plants along with Thailand’s Constant Energy, a renewable electricity generation and storage investment platform, have signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Molten (Thailand) Co. Ltd, to build a roof-mounted solar power generation facility with a capacity of 999 kWp (DC).
Molten (Thailand) Co. Ltd is a local subsidiary of Japan based Molten Corporation that manufacturers sports equipment. As per the deal,an industrial-type roof-mounted solar power plant will be installed on a total area of 4,738 ㎡ on Molten (Thailand)’s factory site located in Sriracha, Chonburi Province. Annually, it will generate power output of 1.43 million kWh, and utilisation of clean and competitive renewable energy will further reduce power costs.The annual CO₂ emissions is expected to be reduced by ~ 611 tons.
