2025-02-13 11:25

Wedoany.com Report-Feb 13, These PV systems are part of nearly 30 solar PV projects under various stages of operations, construction and development for the food processing giant in Thailand, and numerous other projects in Southeast Asia and India. The floating solar PV projects add to Cleantech Solar’s existing rooftop solar projects and are located at Cargill’s fully integrated poultry processing units in Korat and Saraburi, providing high-quality, reliable and cost-efficient solar power for operations.

The floating renewable energy systems are expected to generate approximately 285 GWh of clean energy throughout the projects' lifetimes, reducing nearly 132 kilotonnes of CO₂ emissions. Safety was paramount throughout the development of these projects, with a strong emphasis on adherence to rigorous safety protocols. Cleantech Solar’s multiple long-term partnerships with Cargill across Southeast Asia and India underscore the developer’s commitment to providing top-of-the-line renewable energy solutions to the world’s leading corporate consumers, reducing environmental impact and advancing towards carbon neutrality.

Mr. Watacharapon Prasopkiatpoka, Country Representative of Cargill Thailand, remarked:

“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Cleantech Solar with the commissioning of these new solar PV systems at our manufacturing sites in Thailand. Cleantech’s dedication to providing well designed and high-quality renewable energy solutions that ensure the protection of both the environment and people working on and around the facilities has made them a continued trusted partner in our journey towards more sustainable plant operations.”

Mr. Sanjay Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of Cleantech Solar, said:

“We’re honoured to have Cargill’s continued trust in our renewable energy solutions, and I’m delighted to announce the commissioning of these state-of-the-art floating solar PV systems in Thailand. This green partnership, whilst providing clean and cost-effective energy to Cargill, will contribute not only to their long-term environmental and sustainability targets, but also to Thailand’s ambitious renewable energy targets as laid out in the government’s Power Development Plan 2024 that aims to have renewables accounting for 51% of the total electricity generation capacity by 2037. Cleantech Solar is honoured to be a part of the energy transition, collaborating with stakeholders in the region in their mission to create a more sustainable future for food and agriculture.”
