A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM projectIntroduction of 5MW Floating Solar Power System on Industrial Water Reservoir in Thailand
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The project involves installation of 5MW Floating solar farm equipment utilizing industrial
Reservoir pond inside of Kabinburi Industrial Zone. The project is implemented by TSB
Bangkok Co., Ltd., a company utilizing the crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules ofEconess Energy Co., Ltd. as well as Power Optimizer of GNE New Energy Technology Co.,Ltd..
PV system on the water will give higher power generation efficiency compared to the solar
system on the ground under high atmosphere temperature due to the lower surface temperatureof PV module.
The optimizer has a power shutdown function for each PV module. It can prevent an electric
shock for Firefighters in case of fire. And monitoring function of the optimizer can detectleakage accident of PV module. The use of optimizer also minimizes the power generation lossof PV module string by PV module’s specification variation.
The electricity produced by the project is supplied to a Factory in Kabinburi Industrial Zone todisplace grid electricity mostly derived from fossil-fuel based thermal power plants, which
contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Thailand.

A.6. Contribution from Japan

The proposed project was partially supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan(MOEJ) through the Financing Program for JCM Model projects, which provided financial
support of less than half of the initial investment for the projects in order to acquire JCM credits.
The technology of advanced and efficient solar power system is introduced in the proposed
project by the Japanese project participant. Further, implementation of the proposed project
promotes technology transfer of low carbon technologies in Thailand.

E. Local stakeholder consultation
E.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
To solicit comments from local stakeholders, a consultation meeting was planned by theproject participants, and the project participants invited various stakeholders. Details of thelocal stakeholders consultation meeting is summarized as follows:
Date and Time: 17th December 2019, 10:00-11:00
Venue: TSB Bangkok Co., Ltd.
Address: 50 1057 Bueng Yitho, Thanyaburi District, Pathum Thani 12130
Following organizations from Thailand side were invited to the consultation meeting:-Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO)-TSB Co., Ltd-TSB Bangkok Co., Ltd.
