B.Grimm Power and AMATA Launch 42.5 MWp Floating Solar Project in Thailand
↗
B.Grimm Power and AMATA Corporation are developing a 42.5 MWp floating solar power project at Amata City, Chonburi, Thailand, with an investment of THB 1.2 billion.
This project maximizes the use of existing reservoir space, which can reduce land-use conflicts and promote sustainable energy solutions. The floating solar installation is expected to significantly contribute to the renewable energy requirements in the Eastern Economic Corridor and aid in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The floating solar project will be installed on existing reservoir space, alleviating the need for additional land.
An investment of approximately THB 1.2 billion supports the development of this project.
The facility aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 29,300 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually.
THE READ
What the cluster adds up to.
The floating solar project represents a strategic investment in renewable energy, leveraging existing water bodies for solar energy generation. This approach minimizes land usage, which is critical in densely populated industrial areas. The expected capacity of 42.5 MWp will enhance energy supply without additional land acquisition, making it a practical solution for industrial energy needs.
With an investment of THB 1.2 billion, the project will require careful financial planning to ensure that the expected returns justify the initial costs. The partnership between B.Grimm Power and AMATA Corporation brings together their strengths in renewable energy and industrial estate management, potentially leading to a more integrated approach in energy supply and consumption.
While this project will significantly contribute to meeting renewable energy demands, its effectiveness is contingent on local regulatory support and market conditions in the Eastern Economic Corridor. The floating solar technology also has limitations based on water availability and climate conditions, which could affect operational efficiency in the long term.
