Solar Electricity Generation
Project Background:
C.P. Land Public Company Limited is committed to conserving energy and using renewable energy. The company is focused on promoting solar electricity, a clean form of energy that does not cause negative impacts on the environment, and encouraging opportunities for communities to learn and understand the applications of clean energy.
Performance:
Through the Solar Rooftop Project, the company installed solar panels on the rooftop of the Khon Kaen International Convention and Exhibition Center. These panels have the production capacity of 990 kWp DC, which will generate approximately 1,400,000 kWh of electricity per year, or 35,000,000 kWh over the projected 25 years lifespan. The project’s installation reduces costs by 5,400,000 THB per year, or 134 million THB since the project began, from an initial investment of 33 million THB. The project was launched on 24 August 2018 and began generating electricity on 1 March 2019. The project was officially completed in January 2019, and has resulted in producing electricity for internal use within the building and for nearby buildings belonging to C.P. Land Public Company Limited.
