The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) is promoting solar energy at its estates nationwide under a new joint venture aimed at helping the government reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing sector.
The authority teamed up with renewable energy developer Prime Road Power Plc to set up a new company, Prime Industrial Energy, to install solar panels and help factories better manage their energy usage.
"The new firm will support the government's policy to improve energy efficiency and use more renewable energy in industrial estates," said Veeris Ammarapala, governor of the IEAT.
