In collaboration with Super Energy, a private power producer in Thailand, MinebeaMitsumi aims to operate a total of 152 MW-scale solar power generation project in Bang Pa-in, Ayutthaya Province and Lopburi Province for 25 years. This project's goal is to convert 38% power used at the Lopburi Plant in Bang Pa-In to renewable energy. The project introduces a large battery storage that helps minimizing surplus power, thereby realizing an efficient operation of solar power generation project.
Under the corporate philosophy, "To contribute to realization of a sustainable, eco-friendly and prosperous society by providing better products, at a faster speed, in larger numbers, at a lower cost and by smarter means," MinebeaMitsumi stays committed to further promoting renewable energy and building a sustainable society.
