Rooftop solar project at Minburi factory aims to save 1,500 tons of CO₂ annually, promoting clean energy.
GreenYellow (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Unilever have joined forces to boost clean energy use in Thailand’s industrial sector. This partnership involves a rooftop solar installation at Unilever’s Minburi factory, located in the Ladkrabang Industrial Estate. The project, operating under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), is expected to lower carbon dioxide emissions by 1,544 tons annually, equivalent to planting 34,000 trees.
GreenYellow has financed the entire solar infrastructure and oversees maintenance and quality control throughout the contract term. This ensures efficient and consistent power generation. As a leading solar energy provider, the company continues to help organisations like Unilever embrace renewable energy solutions.
Unilever has contributed rent-free rooftop space for the solar system installation, which has a capacity of 2.36 megawatt peak (MWp). The company has committed to purchasing all the clean energy produced, achieving both environmental impact and energy cost savings.
Leadership Insights
Frank Glück, CEO of GreenYellow Thailand and Asia, described the partnership with Unilever as a major step in expanding renewable energy in the consumer goods sector. He highlighted GreenYellow’s success in collaborating with over 75 prominent business partners across Thailand.
Renewable Energy Impact
GreenYellow has implemented several solar projects in Thailand, partnering with organisations such as Nestlé, Betagro, and TIPCO. These initiatives have contributed a total installed capacity of over 200 MWp, reducing CO₂ emissions by more than 145,000 tons yearly. This collaboration with Unilever is the latest addition to its growing portfolio.
