GULF1 Partners with Bravo BKK on 7,500 Sq.m. Solar Rooftop Project to Power Clean Energy and Sustainability
Gulf1 Co., Ltd (GULF1), a subsidiary of Gulf Development Public Company Limited (GULF), continues to affirm its commitment to promoting clean energy. The company has recently signed a partnership agreement with Bravo BKK shopping center in the heart of Rama 9 to install a solar power system on its rooftop, covering an area of more than 7,500 square meters. The project is expected to generate up to 1.7 megawatts of electricity, which will help reduce Bravo BKK’s energy costs by at least 15% annually while significantly decreasing carbon dioxide emissions.
This collaboration reflects GULF’s dedication to its solar rooftop business, promoting sustainability goals for business clients. It is also in line with the Gulf Group’s target to increase its proportion of renewable energy to more than 40% of its total electricity generation capacity and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Ms. Amnuayporn Prakobnoppakao, Managing Director of Gulf1 Co., Ltd. and Senior Executive Vice President - Head of Solar Business, GULF, commented on the project’s potential: “We are delighted to partner with Bravo BKK to advance their environmental initiatives. Leveraging our extensive experience in deploying solar power systems for industrial and commercial clients, we are committed to efficiently installing and maintaining Bravo BKK's solar system for the next 15 years. The shopping center's 7,500-square-meter rooftop is perfectly suited to generate up to 1.7 megawatts of electricity. We are confident this project will not only provide Bravo BKK with annual electricity cost savings of over 15% but also significantly reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, aligning with their sustainability objectives. Furthermore, GULF1 is proud to extend our solar cell installation services to residential customers through our '1RTid' brand, launched earlier this year.”
Mr. Goh Soo Sing, Chief Executive Officer, Bravo BKK Co., Ltd., spoke about the partnership: “Bravo BKK has always prioritized environmental preservation as a core component of our sustainable development goals. Our collaboration with GULF1 to install a solar power system marks a significant milestone in our journey toward maximizing our use of clean and renewable energy. This project represents a tangible step in reducing our reliance on conventional energy sources and contributing to a healthier environment. Under this 15-year partnership, Bravo BKK will purchase the electricity generated from GULF1's solar rooftop, which is expected to lower our annual electricity costs by approximately 15% and substantially decrease our carbon emissions. This achievement underscores our steadfast commitment to a sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
