- TotalEnergies ENEOS completed a 1.8 MWp floating solar system for S. Kijchai Enterprise, reducing 1,125 tons of CO2 annually.
- The project generates 2,650 MWh of clean electricity annually and is funded through a 12-year Power Purchase Agreement with no upfront costs.
- TotalEnergies ENEOS aims to develop 2 GW of solar capacity in Asia within five years, contributing to regional decarbonisation efforts.
TotalEnergies ENEOS, a joint venture between TotalEnergies and ENEOS, has completed a 1.8 MW floating solar project for Thailand’s S. Kijchai Enterprise, a wood panel manufacturer. The project supports the company’s transition to renewable energy.
The solar array, featuring over 3,000 photovoltaic panels, generates about 2,650 MWh of clean electricity annually. This cuts S. Kijchai Enterprise’s CO2 emissions by 1,125 tons per year, equivalent to planting 16,800 trees. The company maximises energy output by using floating solar technology without occupying valuable land for industrial operations.
TotalEnergies ENEOS funded the project through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). S. Kijchai Enterprise only pays for the electricity produced, eliminating upfront investment costs. The 12-year agreement ensures financial stability and significant energy savings for the company, supporting its environmental goals.
Harnsiri Sangwongkit, Senior Vice President of S. Kijchai Enterprise, emphasised the project’s role in advancing the company’s sustainability efforts. By embracing floating solar technology, the company meets the growing demand for renewable energy while reducing its carbon footprint.
Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS for Asia, highlighted the importance of this collaboration. The floating solar project follows the rooftop solar system completed four years ago, demonstrating both companies’ commitment to greener energy solutions.
TotalEnergies ENEOS aims to develop 2 GW of decentralised solar capacity across Asia within the next five years. This project forms part of the company’s broader strategy to meet the rising demand for renewable energy and reduce CO2 emissions in industrial sectors.
Thailand and the Asia-Pacific region have seen a surge in renewable energy adoption. Local industries increasingly turn to green technologies to support their energy transition efforts. With this project, TotalEnergies ENEOS strengthens its position as a critical provider of clean energy solutions tailored to local businesses.
The floating solar installation contributes to TotalEnergies’ broader plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The company continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio, helping industries shift away from fossil fuels. Likewise, ENEOS has reinforced its commitment to sustainable development through various renewable energy projects across Asia and globally.
By supporting S. Kijchai Enterprise’s efforts to lower energy costs and reduce carbon emissions, TotalEnergies ENEOS solidifies its role as a vital partner in the region’s energy transition. This project represents a key milestone in advancing cleaner, more sustainable industrial practices throughout Asia.
