Thai mining firm Banpu has launched a subsidiary to develop solar projects. Banpu Infinergy aims to install 300 MW of solar capacity within five years, and offer services including installation, system design, consultation and maintenance. The firm will initially focus on rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar-powered street lighting, and has already invested in a number of PV projects across the world. In addition to its own projects, Banpu’s subsidiary, Solar Energy Development Company (SEDC), is also developing an array of solar farms for use by local communities around Thailand.
