The inauguration ceremony marks the launch of this innovative project in Ayutthaya, which symbolises a major breakthrough in solar energy. This installation combines ground-mounted solar panels and parking carports, demonstrating the flexibility and efficiency of modern solar technologies.
With an installed capacity of 3.2 MWp, the facility is expected to produce 4.5 GWh of clean energy each year, enabling a significant reduction in CO2 emissions of more than 2,000 tonnes per year for 20 years. This project reflects GreenYellow and Nestlé's shared commitment to promote renewable energy, while being part of the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Nestlé (Thai) Ltd. on this major solar project," said Frank Gluck, Managing Director of GreenYellow Asia. "At GreenYellow, our mission is to offer innovative energy solutions, and this project is a perfect example of our expertise and commitment."
"This partnership with GreenYellow is a crucial step in our sustainability journey," said Philippe Glauser, Head of Technical and Production, Nestlé Indochina. "At Nestlé, we have the commitment to using 100% renewable electricity at all our sites by 2025. By incorporating the solar project with Green Yellow into our Nestlé Waters production process, we are taking significant strides toward reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices within the industry. In addition to switching to renewable energy, we have also implemented many energy saving projects including improving efficiency of our existing assets and redesigning our process for energy optimization."
As Nestlé's energy partner, GreenYellow is committed to providing cutting-edge, energy-efficient solutions that support the company's ambitious environmental goals. This project demonstrates the positive impact that partnerships can have on the adoption of renewable energy and the reduction of the carbon footprint.
