GUNKUL Empowers Royal Plus to Install 1 MW Solar Rooftop, Setting a Blueprint for Net Zero in Thailand's Beverage Industry

• Phase 2 System of 999.57 kWp at Samut Songkhram Factory Advances Carbon Neutral 2030 and Net Zero 2050 Targets

GUNKUL (Gunkul Engineering Public Company Limited) and PLUS (Royal Plus Public Company Limited), one of Thailand's leading beverage manufacturers, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the installation of a Phase 2 Solar Rooftop system with a capacity of 999.57 kilowatts peak (kWp) at PLUS's factory in Amphawa, Samut Songkhram. The project marks a significant step in PLUS's journey toward Carbon Neutrality by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050 — and positions this collaboration as a flagship model for Thailand's food and beverage industry's clean energy transition.

Solar Rooftop: Measurable Carbon Reduction at the Heart of Production

The Phase 2 Solar Rooftop system will play a central role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions directly within PLUS's manufacturing operations on a continuous and verifiable basis. As global supply chains increasingly require ESG compliance and clean energy sourcing, investments like this are becoming essential for manufacturers seeking to maintain competitiveness in international markets.

PLUS's Holistic Green Transition: Clean Energy Across Every Operation

Beyond solar, PLUS is advancing its sustainability roadmap on multiple fronts simultaneously. The company is transitioning to EV Forklifts to improve internal operational efficiency while reducing air pollution and noise within the factory environment. PLUS is also replacing heavy fuel oil with biomass energy sources — including palm kernel shells — and other alternative fuels, systematically reducing its reliance on fossil energy throughout the production process.

Together, these initiatives reflect PLUS's commitment to a comprehensive, operations-wide clean energy transition, not just a single green investment.

GUNKUL: Thailand's Trusted Green Energy Partner for Industry

PLUS's choice of GUNKUL as its Solar Rooftop partner reflects confidence in GUNKUL's standing as Thailand's leading integrated renewable energy provider — with over 43 years of industry experience and full end-to-end capabilities spanning system design, installation, and long-term operations and maintenance.

For businesses and manufacturers looking to begin their own clean energy journey, GUNKUL offers tailored solutions across Solar Rooftop, Solar Farm, and Direct PPA arrangements — each designed to deliver measurable progress toward Net Zero and RE100 targets.
