China’s Trina Solar Limited will be supplying 25 megawatts worth of solar modules to Thailand’s Bangchak Solar Energy Project.
Trina Solar will be the sole suppliers for Phase III of the 75 MW Bangchak Solar Energy Project which is owned by Bangchak Solar Energy Co. Ltd.
Shipment of the modules is expected to commence by late December.
“Thailand is a leading emerging solar market in South East Asia. We look forward to growing our presence in Thailand’s solar market in 2014 and to contributing to the realization of a more secure, clean and independent solar energy for Thailand,” said Jifan Gao, chairman and chief executive officer of Trina Solar.
Bangchak Solar Energy Co., Ltd. is owned by the Bangchak Petroleum Public Company Limited which has recently branched into renewable energy. They operate the Sunny Bangchak solar power plant in Ayutthaya province (see related story).
“This solar project further supports Thailand’s National Energy Policy Commission’s new target of delivering 1,000 MW of solar power by 2014 and 2,000 MW of solar power through utility projects by 2021 incented by feed-in-tariffs for rooftop and community ground-mounted solar projects, signaling high-level support for Thailand’s solar sector,» added the management of Bangchak Solar Energy.
Trina Solar also recently announced an agreement to supply modules to a project in the Middle Eastern country of Jordan.
They will be supplying 1MW of Trina Honey photovoltaic modules to Mustakbal Clean Tech and Phoenix Solar Pte LTd who are building a solar power project for the Ma’an Development Company.
The Trina modules will be used in Jordan’s biggest and first large-scale solar power project. The electricity generated by the project will cover 100 percent of the electricity needs of two student dormitory buildings in the Ma’an Development Area Residential Community in Ma’an.
Around 4,032 Trina solar modules will be installed in the buildings. They will generate approximately 2,000 MWh of power and prevent the release of 24,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
These modules will be shipped before the end of 2013 and the project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.
The projects in both Thailand and Jordan are seen as part of Trina Solar’s efforts to grow their market presence in the area as part of the companies plan to continue its expansion in the growing global solar market. – EcoSeed Staff
