Sungrow, Super Energy to Jointly Work on the Largest BESS Project in SE Asia

Sungrow, cooperated with Super Energy, to build Southeast Asian largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project.

Sungrow will supply the comprehensive PV plus BESS solution, comprising of 49.01 MW PV inverter solutions and 45 MW/136.24 MWh battery energy storage system.

This project is planned to start in April 2022, and will be commercial in December. By then, it can provide clean electricity for Thai people with constant power, help improve the overall stability and security of Thai power grid, and quicken Thai's step to realize the National 4.0 Strategy.

Its completion also opens a new phase for Sungrow's long-term strategic progress in the Solar and Energy Storage field in Southeast Asia.

Thailand now is steadily implementing the ambitious Thailand 4.0 national strategy: developing an economic system adjusted to climate change and building a low carbon society. Moving towards using renewable energy is a critical step to its realization.

The recently unveiled Power Development Plan (PDP 2018-2037) set the goal of renewable power capacity of 2,766 MW, accounting for 37% of the total.

What is more, Thai government has fully acknowledged that renewable energy cannot be a reliable and stable source unless combined with energy storage systems.

This agreement was the driver for Super Energy and Sungrow's cooperation on this major Thai BESS project. Besides, this plant is also a pioneer of SPP Hybrid Firm Power Purchasing Program, an initiative launched by Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, aiming to make renewable energy the stable supply of future power.

Super's President Mr. Jormsup praised that: "We are very happy to have Sungrow as our long-term strategic partner, for this big step in technology to provide the Thai people with solar power 7 days & 24 hours".
