The objective of this financial facility is to fund the construction of a floating solar power plant with a generating capacity of 21.49 megawatts, located in Gateway City Industrial Estate, Chachoengsao. The plant will generate clean energy to be sold through a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (Private PPA) to electricity buyers. This project contributes to positive social and environmental change while helping electricity buyers achieve their net zero commitment for greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative aligns with the operational strategies of both banks, which are committed to providing financial services that foster business sustainability and support Thailand in reaching its net zero target.
