Solar photovoltaic client case study – SPM Group
SPM Group is one of Thailand’s leading food companies.
Project context
SPM was looking to generate low-carbon electricity while covering part of the plant’s energy consumption. With this floating power plant, the price of solar electricity sold to SPM is significantly lower than the grid price: this project delivers significant savings on the electricity bill.
