TotalEnergies ENEOS Celebrates the Completion of Solar Rooftop Projects with NTN and NTPT, Leading High-performance Composites Manufacturers in Thailand
CHONBURI, Thailand, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TotalEnergies ENEOS celebrated the successful installation of two solar rooftop systems totaling 2 megawatt-peak (MWp) at NTN Corporation (NTN) and NTPT Company Limited's (NTPT) prominent plants in the Pinthong industrial area, Chonburi Province, Thailand.
With about 3,450 modules installed, the solar PV systems will generate approximately 2,700 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually and powering approximately 15% of each facility. This contributes to significant cost savings for NTN and NTPT and reducing both companies' carbon emissions by about 1,620 tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to taking approximately 350 cars off the road or planting over 24,300 trees.
Under the long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), TotalEnergies ENEOS fully funded, installed, and will be operating the solar systems for the next 20 years, NTN and NTPT are only required to pay for the electricity produced without any additional upfront costs.
"On behalf of NTN Manufacturing (Thailand) Co., Ltd., I would like to sincerely thank TotalEnergies ENEOS for their dedication in the successful construction and installation of the solar rooftop system.
