Prime Road Group (Bangkok, Thailand) and First Solar, Inc. (Tempe, AZ, U.S.) on February 7th, 2017 announced the completion of four solar photovoltaic (PV) farms totaling 18 MW of capacity in Thailand.
Located across the Ayutthaya and Pathum
Thani Provinces, the Prime Road Group Co-Op PV Project utilizes more
than 158,500 First Solar thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules to produce
approximately 29,600 megawatt-hours (MWh) of solar power in the first
year of operation.
Solar power from the Prime Road Group Co-Op PV
Project will be sold via a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with
the Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand at a rate of THB 5.66
(approx. USD 0.16) per kilowatt hour.
Developed under Thailand’s Governmental Agency and
Agricultural Cooperatives Program, the completion marks an important
milestone for the country as it continues to grow its installed solar PV
capacity and target 30 per cent renewable energy by 2036.
Thailand-based developer Prime Road Group has
partnered with First Solar as the PV module supplier and Bouygues-Thai
Ltd – a subsidiary of the French Bouygues Group – as the Engineering,
Procurement and Construction contractor for the delivery of the Project.
The Project will produce enough clean solar energy each year to power 12,000 homes.
The First Solar Series 4 thin-film PV modules
deployed at the four sites are ideally suited to the local environmental
conditions in Southeast Asia, due to their superior temperature
coefficient, better shading response, and better spectral response,
reads the press release.
