Thailand gears up efforts on solar power
Three MoU agreements were signed in Bangkok last week for solar power research and development projects to improve the region’s infrastructure for renewable energy.
Signed as part of the Engineering Expo 2016 at Bangkok’s International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), the agreements have the unified goal to help boost Thailand as the Asia centre of solar power. The signatories are King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Banpu, Techen Technologies (Thailand) and Huawei Technologies.
This collaboration between the four entities was in response to the increasing power energy demand across Asia, said Assoc Prof Dr Komsan Maleesee, KMITL’s dean |of the faculty of engineering. It originated from a shared vision to research and develop energy technology |following dynamic technologies as well as the global |energy trend, he said.
