The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand has signed a joint venture agreement to develop a solar farm at the Map Ta Phut Industrial Port.
The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) has officially entered into a joint venture with GULF1, a subsidiary of Gulf Energy Development, and Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited (GPSC). According to Khaosod Online, the three entities have signed a shareholder agreement to establish 'Re-nergy Company Limited.'
The primary objective of this partnership is to develop a solar power generation project located on the silt pond area within the third phase of the Map Ta Phut Industrial Port development project. This initiative is designed to promote green energy and enhance the competitiveness of Thailand's industrial sector, aligning with national goals for carbon neutrality and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
For residents and those interested in Thailand’s industrial landscape, this project represents a significant shift toward sustainable infrastructure in one of the country's most critical industrial hubs. By utilizing existing land for renewable energy, the project aims to support long-term industrial growth while addressing environmental concerns.
While the agreement marks a formal commitment to the project, specific details regarding the total power generation capacity, the timeline for construction, and the projected completion date have not yet been publicly confirmed. Stakeholders will be looking for further updates as the joint venture moves into the implementation phase.
