The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) joins forces with the Royal Thai Air Force to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by installing Floating Solar.
Mr. Supachai Ake-un, Governor of the Provincial Electricity Authority; Air Chief Marshal Alongkorn Wannarot, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Co-chaired the opening of the energy saving management project within the Royal Thai Air Force Headquarters with the executives of both agencies participating in the ceremony at the lecture room of the Air Force Headquarters Air Force Headquarters
The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) places importance on promoting energy efficiency. and energy saving, which promotes and supports government policies. so that all units use energy efficiently By introducing energy conservation options in the organization in the form of “ESCO” to help reduce energy costs and promote the use of renewable energy and energy conservation in the organization. Currently, there are participants from government agencies. educational institutions, hospitals, including various private sectors across the country
PEA brings a digital system to help conserve and manage electrical energy for the Royal Thai Air Force unified. since checking energy consumption analysis Designed and installed a floating solar system with an installed capacity of 999.9 kW, capable of producing 112,000 units of electricity per month, saving utility expenses by 81,000 baht per month, or 972,000 baht per year, and reducing emissions. about 670 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year Ready to take care and maintain the system over the past 25 years. There is an Energy Monitoring System to monitor the power generation unit from the Floating Solar system in real time and know the overview of the energy consumption from the Floating Solar system to determine. Policies and targets for reducing electricity use effectively for energy saving in the Royal Thai Air Force Command. Considered to help reduce the cost of electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The installation of the Floating Solar system at the Air Force Headquarters is the first of its kind for the Department of Defense. which is a good starting point that demonstrates the commitment and determination to cooperate with PEA and the Air Force Command To support the use of renewable energy from solar energy. for the development of the organization along with driving the country with stability, strength and sustainability
