en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 48MW solar power project coupled with 60MWh of energy storage in Lopburi Province, Thailand, recently commenced construction. The project is being developed by Minebea Super Solar Power Company, a joint venture established by Japan's MinebeaMitsumi and Thailand's Super Energy. The electricity generated will be directly supplied to MinebeaMitsumi's precision manufacturing plants in Lopburi and Bang Pa-in.
Project funding comes from Japan's Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) initiative for the 2025 fiscal year. This mechanism also concurrently funds the 104MW solar power project with 129MWh of energy storage in Bang Pa-in. MinebeaMitsumi participates as a representative entity. The project structure follows a direct power supply model and is not included within a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) framework.
The project structure involves direct power supply to MinebeaMitsumi's factories in Bang Pa-in and Lopburi, which manufacture precision products such as bearings, motors, and sensors. MinebeaMitsumi operates up to seven factories in Thailand, with its Thai operations accounting for approximately 20% of the group's global production.
Chinese solar PV module manufacturer Hanergy Solar will supply n-type HITOUCH 6N 715 W bifacial modules, designed to withstand Thailand's hot and humid climate. Suchanya Nanumchio, Vice President of Business Development at MSSP, stated: "This 48MW project is a crucial step in optimizing our energy mix. We look forward to further cooperation in the green energy sector."
The energy storage supplier has not yet been announced. This project is one of the world's significant direct-supply industrial solar-plus-storage projects and does not involve a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) framework. The advancement of such solar-plus-storage projects contributes to enhancing Thailand's utilization of renewable energy.
