REC announced the starting operation of six REC-powered solar plants in Thailand, in Nakhon Pathom and Suphan Buri provinces, totaling 72 MW. Owned and operated by Yanhee EGCO Holding, this project brings the number of utility-scale installations with REC solar panels in Thailand to seven, and generates enough power for approximately 40,000 Thai households.

Over 11 months of construction, 292,608 REC Peak Energy solar panels with 245 Wp and 250 Wp were ground-mounted over a total area of 1,175 rai (1.88 km2) in this greenfield project. All the electricity produced – 103 GWh per year – is sold to Thailand’s Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) under a Very Small Power Producer (VSPP) contract, reducing the country’s CO2 footprint by over 59,000 metric tons.

“We are excited to be part of this large-scale project in Thailand with Yanhee EGCO,” said Jenvit Jivakulchainan, country manager at REC in Thailand. “This project reaffirms our market leadership in the region with total REC installations of 86 MW in Thailand. We at REC have worked hard to strengthen our presence in the growing Thai market. In 2013, around 15% of our MW shipments went to Southeast Asia, with Thailand being one of the key markets for REC. We expect Thailand to remain most attractive country in this region.”
