AFRY supporting four onshore wind projects in Thailand as Owner’s Engineer

Gulf Development Public Company Limited (“GULF”) is one of Thailand’s leading energy companies, active in the development, generation, and distribution of electricity across both conventional and renewable energy sectors. Projects under GULF and its affiliated companies have continued collaboration with AFRY as Owner’s Engineer for four onshore wind farm projects in the country.

AFRY’s scope of work includes project management support, design review, and monitoring of construction and commissioning activities for complete projects.

The four wind farm projects include:

• AL1 (48 MW): Chumphon Province
• AL2 (70 MW): Prachuap Khiri Khan Province
• ECE (90 MW): Mukdahan Province
• WAYU (78 MW): Chaiyaphum Province

Wind farms feature modern wind turbines supplied by Goldwind, mounted on hybrid concrete towers. The concrete segments for these towers are manufactured locally in Thailand. Once operational, the power generated by these projects will be supplied to the Thai national grid under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand.

I am proud of our team and grateful for the trust placed in us by GULF, whom we have supported in various power generation projects for over 20 years already. With AFRY’s proven track record of more than 400 wind power projects in over 60 countries, representing over 150 GW of wind capacity, we are confident in our ability to add value to projects like these,
